Romance Matters: The Role of Dating in Adolescents’ Friendship Beginnings and Endings

This study examines the influence of romantic relationships on the formation and dissolution of adolescent friendships with a longitudinal network sample from age 14 to 15. Using a dynamic, network statistical model, they found that engagement in a romantic relationship shaped friendship homophily over time, with daters becoming friends with other daters, and singles forming friendships with other singles. Partnered adolescents were not more likely than those who were unattached to dissolve their friendships; however, they were significantly less prone to form new friendships over time.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

Teen Economic Abuse

As 13 to 19 year-olds move toward adulthood and independence, they begin making decisions without parental or guardian involvement, have their first romantic relationships, hold their first job or internship, and start to handle their own money. Experiencing abuse during these formative years can have lasting harm on future independence and well-being, particularly if such abuse impacts economic opportunity.

6 Ways to Reveal Teen Strengths

Adolescence is a period of rapid development during which teen strengths are revealed. A time when teens uncover what comes naturally to them.
