Read the passage about social relationships. The attachment that a child has with its parent or guardian is a central predictor for mental health and well-being, as well as relationship satisfaction, during adulthood.

As a result, toxic relationships and negative experiences, such as bullying or social isolation, can be more relevant and have a serious impact on young people's mental health. Schools and the teacher-student relationship, and positive support from organizations such as youth clubs, can act as a buffer and help protect young people during this difficult time.
