We all know this show is targeted for girls of around age 6, but for some reason there are a lot of older fans, around 16 years old on average according to a poll. Which makes us all come up with reasons why this is so attractive to teens and even adults. Well, I'm here to share my thoughts. Had the show gone with the original creator's idea of "adventures", I bet it wouldn't be half as interesting. But rather, it touches on the subject of friendship, and not just scratching the surface on some basic stuff, but contains some pretty intricate and very realistic problems and ideas. There are some pretty deep and genuine emotions and is not the classic simple plot simple resolution like many other cartoons for kids. In the end, it was even able to change me. I don't know if anyone else felt the same way, but I became a better friend from watching a show. I became more forgiving, I no longer have a desire to pull revenge on everyone that gets in my way, and became a more helpful person: sometimes your generosity may not be appreciated or repaid immediately, but it is all worth it in the long run. Instead of fighting fire with fire, I try to see if I can solve or appease the original problem. And most of all, I gained a major boost in self confidence and resilance to social pressure.
