Adolescents report that getting to know their peers through authentic exchanges, and discovering similarities with others, helps to foster long-standing friendships (Narr et al., 2019, Brown &amp; Larson, 2009). Furthermore, close friendships during the teen years bolster mental health and resilience for youth in the future (Narr et al., 2019).
