Comment about this post:

When kids grow into teenagers, they often start hanging out with their friends more and spending less time with their families. What's more, these peer relationships are getting more and more unregulated by adults. Adolescents' ideas of friendship are increasingly centered on private exchanges of ideas and feelings, whereas children's ideas of friendship frequently center on shared activities. Peer interactions offer a setting for the development of critical social skills, social problem solving abilities, empathy, and friendships as well as for the establishment and upkeep of friendships and friendship networks.
