Boys shake hands when they greet each other and say goodbye

Boys and girls kiss when they greet each other and say goodbye by pressing their cheeks together and making a kissing noise. This is greeting between friends. Nothing romantic at all.

Girls don't shake hands typically. They greet each other and say goodbye by kissing. Again this is not romantic in nature. Just friends.
