1, mutual assistance.

In the process of peer counseling, the role of the counselor is not static, but the roles of the counselor and the coachee can be interchanged in different events and occasions.

For example, in the practice of failing an exam, A is B's psychological counselor, but in another event of estrangement from parents, B is A's psychological counselor. Therefore, peer counseling has the characteristics of mutual assistance, and both sides can obtain their own emotional needs, which are highly complementary.

2. initiative.

When high school students encounter learning puzzles and emotional problems, they will take the initiative to ask their friends for help. They will pour out their feelings and difficulties to their friends of the same age, so as to get comfort, guidance and help from their friends of the same age and meet their psychological needs.

3. Universality.

High school students are in a rebellious period of youth. Because they are far from their parents and teachers, the influence of traditional preaching on them is greatly reduced, while the influence of friends of the same age is increasing.

In general, senior high school students are more willing to communicate with people of the same age, talk to them about their own difficulties and problems, and share their hobbies with their peers. However, they often keep a state of exclusion from their parents and are unwilling to talk to them, which is a common phenomenon among high school teenagers.
