“…And this may be related to the idea of omnipresence highlighted by the participants in the research of Knox & Hickson (2001) and Mason, Timms, Hayburn & Watters (2013), which describe the importance of friendship in the different environments of their lives. This perception coincides with other investigations, which affirm that friends are a source of support when needed (Bane et al, 2012), and that these also provide support in difficult situations (Traylor, Williams, Kenney & Hopson, 2016). An example of the support that friends provide, according to the participants in this study, is to be able to talk with them about issues that concern them, and to get their advice.…”

Friendship barriers and supports: Thoughts of young people with intellectual disabilitiesA great deal of research has been undertaken during the last few decades regarding the life experiences of young people with intellectual disabilities (ID). However, not much has specifically focused on the friendships of people with ID. This article aims to present the friendship experiences of young people with ID who are in their transition process to adult life. It focuses on their reflections on their own friendships, the presence these friendships have had and still have in their lives, and the strengths and difficulties -if any-in managing their friendships. 11 people aged 17-19 with ID were interviewed individually. This article also intends to identify and analyse those elements that have influenced in the establishment of friendships in the lives of young people with ID, focusing on the role that both professionals and families have had from the perspective of the young people with ID. It also presents the influence that the educational context has had on the friendships of young people with ID.

“…For example, family parenting had a significant impact on the personality traits in juvenile delinquents, and peer relationship only played a moderating role in some ways (Peng et al, 2013 ). Other studies pointed out that when it comes to stable and long-lasting emotions such as subjective well-being, compared with friend support, the predictive effect of the individuals' own behavior is more obvious (Traylor et al, 2016 ).…”

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this study, we examined family support and friend support as potential mediators between psychological suzhi and suicide ideation in a sample of 1,369 Chinese adolescents (48. 1% men, 15.52 ± 1.76 years). The results showed that family support and friend support were found to adequately mediate the relationship between psychological suzhi and suicide ideation. In addition, the effect of psychological suzhi on adolescents' suicide ideation was stronger for family support than friend support. These findings demonstrated the key roles of psychological suzhi, family support, and friend support in reducing adolescents' suicide ideation. It enlightens us that we are supposed to improve adolescents' psychological suzhi and perceived social support (including family support and friend support) through many ways in order to better play its protective role in the future.

“…Friendships and peer relationships at school have been found to interconnect with school enthusiasm, motivation, learning results, and educational aspiration [20] [21]. In addition, the overall wellbeing of teenagers-also outside of school-is strongly affected by social relationships at school [22] [23].…”

“…Much less regarded are the peer relationships of school as a source of student wellbeing or better learning. It is easily forgotten that friends constitute not only a risk but an important source of social support, trust, and solidarity [22] [24]. Peer relationships at school demonstrably work as a platform for practicing communicative skills, receiving feedback for one's behavior, and adopting societally desired values, norms and attitudes [20] [24].…”

“…Several youth network studies have illustrated that friends can be important sources of support, for instance, in coping with stressful situations [22]- [24]. Having a satisfactory relationship with same-age peers may compensate the lack of support from parents and buffer the negative effects of an unfavorable neighborhood or peer network [22]. In addition, peer groups provide supportive control and develop trust, solidarity and collective identities [19] [29].…”

The starting point for this paper is that children and young people's friendships have, significantly, been neglected as a communal resource. While the importance to teenagers of their friends and peers is widely recognized, their friendships are more often seen as a cause of risk behaviour than a resource with which risk could be prevented. Hence, the purpose of this theoretical paper is to challenge this predominant view by looking at teenagers' spontaneous friendships as inclusionary potential. The paper deals with young teenagers' friendships from the viewpoint of student welfare and preventive social work at school. It raises the question of how and with what teenagers' wellbeing should be supported in their everyday living environments such as school. The paper introduces Finnish basic education as a site for the prevention of early youths' marginalization, and studies how young people's mutual relationships are commonly perceived at school. Drawing from the theories of recognition, it is then suggested that recognizing the meaning and practices of students' friendship at school could advance their self-confidence, self-esteem and self-respect and hence, support better student wellbeing.
