Peer relationships are very important to teens. 1) Friendships provide teens with opportunities to develop conflict resolution skills. Teens can learn how to end a fight and still remain friends. 2) Friends provide fun and excitement for teens through companionship and recreation. 3) Friends also give advice to one another. Teens talk through lots of issues and problems with their friends. 4) Loyalty is a valued trait in friendship. Teens are looking for loyal allies that can help them out at school or in their own neighborhood. 5) Friendships also provide stability during times of stress or transition. It is helpful to teens to have a friend who is going through the same situations and can ease the anxieties of the times.
What happens when youth don't have friends? Teens without friends tend to be more lonely and unhappy. They tend to have lower levels of academic achievement and lower self esteem. As they get older, they are more apt to drop out of school and to get involved in delinquent activities.
Do you agree with the benefits of having friends? Describe how your friends help you with the above skills.

This is true about teens relationships. Well, this is not true teens without friends tend to be unhappy. Because there are too many people in the world! You can get more friends when you meet other people in Club or trip or your friend's friends, too. But not easy to fast get best friends/ friendship, for some sadness if who unhappy without their friends will be possible kill himself/herself. It's can friends have problems if you never know. Well, sometime long to solve or short solve that depend on they are talk about it. Just Be Careful! You will make sure if your friend is your or not. If your friend want you use weeds or drink alcohol. You say "No!" to your friend, if it is not just beg you! This is mean not your friend! This is not good for you better for you who trust you and won't force you.
This is good for friends with you, for keep spent together a good time and communities from event news and school ect. And can help you for new style or sometime help for your homework, too. I am very fact some friends share their feel and tell about themselves.

Well, my opinion is, many teenagers who have no friend, tend to unhappy, lonely, unself-controllable. <--- Yes, I agree with the article says. But, NOT all teenagers tend like that. Some teenagers can live without friends. So, depend on their experience, family, life, etc. Some teenagers have bad experience and lend to unhappy, lonely, etc. If teenagers have good experience and lend to fine.
Well, to have friends, should be very benefits, because you have a oppunority to have a different view of point. Different of opinion and you can ask your freind to helps. It is a great benefits for you. Also, you would feel more safeful when you have friends. Because your friends are on your side and you should feel safeful...

You can help your friend to solve problem when he or she in bad mood and make sure you not insult friend when they is nice to you.
NEVER GIVE- UP OR HATE WITH YOUR FRIEND. If you hate your friend then it mean it is your FAULT and NOT BLAME on your FRIENDSHIP. FRIENDSHIP can be SUCCESS in your LIFE in your FUTURE. NEVER KNOW IF YOU MEET YOUR FRIEND TRHAT YOU KNOW THAT PERSON FROM MY SCHOOL. MABYE THAT WILL POSSIBLE.
My opinion, it is friend is not important to me because if i tell my friend about my private and never know my friend two faces on me then tell eveyone about my privates. I rather talk to my family better than friend. My family wont tell everyone about my problem or my private.
Some people decide trust friend about their private problem. Some people have different opinion. it thier decide think should trust and they have own mind and can trust or not. It really hard to choice to trust or not. I rather to trust myself or my own family.
Hey gtr#157,
i am agree with you this is true about that. Some teens are live alone that can will be used without their friends. I was young kid uesd to along without friends, for my friends live far away and not much see each other, too. You are right about safe around their with friend. If She/he walked along will feel like not save. If someone with her/him will feel save. Those are many thing save around with their friends. And also friends make broke bad hadit, too.
Germany #54, Yeah, I agree with you. You just can't trust your friend fast. It take long process. Start, meet, then ask for name, where live, blahh... You should know how to get friend anyway. And Of course, we should not tell your new friend about our private things. Wait till you really trust that boy/girl. It take process, of course... But, it is true, it is hard to trust...
Hey germay friend is important to you. If you not trust your friend then not tell them your private just tell him event news that's it.
If who your friend trust you and not two face with you like who close with you like as brother/sister. Will you tell them your private?? If your close friend tell you her/his private will you tell her/him back your private?? I let you know how test if your friend is trust you or not. You just make up tell story to her/him. Then later if your friends will tell everyone or not. That is how you test your friends are trust you or not.
