               School Environment and the Influence of Peers on the

               Mental Health of Young People

               Children spend a lot of time in school, precisely in the years when attitudes, personality and
               behavior are formed. The influence of school and peers on the mental health of young people
               plays a very large role in the mental health of a young person. The development of a mentally
               healthy young person is favored by factors of positive development, if there are developmental
               disabilities  or  negative  experiences,  school  stress,  a  mental  disorder  or  mental  illness  may
               develop. Cooperation between the family, the school, and the school medical team is important.
               Social skills and boundary setting are practiced within peer groups. The peer group helps to
               create roles and strengthen independence. Peers also participate in the formation of gender
               identity.  Peer  influence  is  strongest  in  adolescence.  The  problem  arises  when  a  positive
               influence turns into a negative one. Then various disorders can appear, in numerous aspects of
               learning and daily functioning of a young person. The created poster points to this problem.
