Bookmark For many parents, the truth is hard to admit: Adolescents begin to rely less and less upon the adults in their lives and more heavily on their peers. Starting to let go is difficult. A new study found that this is especially true in the immediate aftermath of a stressful event, like failing a test. They collected data from boys and girls ages 13 to 16, who attend a socioeconomically disadvantaged school in Western Australia. Five times a day, for seven days, the teens completed online surveys sent to their smartphones during and after school, though not during class periods. They also reported how happy, sad, lonely, jealous, and worried they were feeling, and whom they were with. They consistently found that teens who were with or were communicating online with friends in the time immediately following a stressful event reported lower levels of sadness, jealousy, and worry—and higher levels of happiness—than those alone or with adults.
