Friends provide support, intimacy, and guidance. Children with good-quality friendships even improve their social skills over time: Having such a friendship predicts greater use of emotion ally engaged and socially competent strategies, such as talking about the problem when confronted by a social dilemma (Glick & Rose, 2011). Children with friends are less lonely and depressed (Berndt, 2004; Furman & Rose, 2015). Even rejected- aggressive and withdrawn children often develop friendships in spite of their diffi culties gaining or maintaining acceptance by the wider peer group (Pedersen et al., 2007; Rubin et al., 2009), and friends can buffer these children from loneliness, sad ness, and other psychological problems (Laursen et al., 2007; Markovic & Bowker, 2017) and even reduce physiological dysregulation associated with peer exclusion (Peters et al., 2011). Children with lots of friends can deal with getting low grades without becoming depressed (Schwartz et al., 2008). The presence of a best friend can alleviate the effects of routine negative experiences, such as an argument with a peer or criticism from a teacher, on self-esteem and physiological stress response (Adams et al., 2011).
