- The Association Between School Class Composition and Suicidal Ideation in Late Adolescence: Findings From the Young-Hunt 3 Study

Abstract

Background: Loneliness is negatively related to good health and wellbeing, especially among girls. There is little research, however, on factors that may ease the burdens of loneliness in the school setting. Thus, we explored the relationship between girls' loneliness and later school wellbeing adjusted for other adversities. Furthermore, we assessed the significance of having someone whom the girl trusted by investigating possible modifying influences on the addressed association.

Researchers further emphasise relational trust as a prerequisite for building strong learning communities (Cranston, 2011), and relational trust between students and teachers (Gregory & Ripski, 2008) supports student achievement.…”
