Summary
Friendship is a relationship that starts in early childhood and develops in time (Yorukoglu, 2004). Friendship is a voluntary experience generally shared by a common relationship (Bukowski, Hoza, & Boivin, 1993). It is clear from earlier researches that friendship is important at every age. Due to the developmental tasks of adolescence and its critical nature, friendship relationships have a special meaning. Intimate relationship with peers supports the developmental tasks that are undertaken in this period (Blackhart, Nelson, Knowles, & Baumeister, 2009). In the beginning of the puberty period, young males and females can talk to their peers about the changes occurring in their bodies and their emotional problems, discovering themselves and their bodies (Kulaksizoglu, 2002)
