Good friends and friendships are important to pre-teens and teenagers because they give them a sense of belonging and being valued by people other than their family. It helps young people feel a sense of acceptance and belonging. They support the development of compassion, caring, and empathy, and they are a big part of forming a sense of identity outside the family.
