High school can feel like an emotional battlefield where having a true ally makes all the difference. Our quiz helps teens figure out if they’re actually being the supportive friend they think they are. We throw realistic scenarios at them (like when a friend is being excluded or going through family drama) and help them see whether their go-to responses are actually helpful or might be missing the mark.

Learning this stuff now matters because the friendship habits teens develop tend to stick around. Most kids haven’t had great examples of what healthy support looks like – they’re either copying what they see in movies (drama city!) or following patterns they’ve seen at home, for better or worse. This quiz gives them a chance to take an honest look at their friendship style while there’s still plenty of time to level up their skills.

Why Being a Good Friend Advocate Matters:

• It makes school a less scary place. When teens know how to properly have each other’s backs against bullies or cliques, everyone breathes a little easier. Kids who feel like someone’s got their back are way less likely to spiral into destructive behaviors or take their pain out on others.
  
  
• It teaches the art of actually listening. Learning to shut up and really hear what your friend is saying instead of immediately jumping in with advice or making it about yourself is a superpower that’ll help teens in every relationship they’ll ever have.
  
  
• It builds people-skills that math class doesn’t cover. While teens are memorizing chemistry formulas, they also need to learn how to tell when a friend’s “I’m fine” actually means “I’m drowning” – and what to do about it. That emotional radar system is just as important as any grade on their transcript.
  
  
• It helps teens recognize when they’re getting the short end of the stick. Understanding what real support looks like helps teens realize when their own friendships are one-sided or toxic, giving them permission to seek out people who actually treat them well instead of accepting scraps of attention as “just how friendships work.”
