Default A Honda thing??

I just bought my first Honda and its pretty much the coolest thing since a wheel of cheese BUT my question is that it shifts through all gears like a champ but putting it in reverse it makes a loud grinding noise ONLY when im rolling backwards, if im at a standstill and put it in reverse it goes in fine???? and my buddy who owns a Honda says his does the same thing.Honda thing or do we both have serious problems haha thanks

pretty sure the manual even states to shift into first before you shift into reverse.
