Abstract
The current study in recognition of the importance of peer relations, examined the sociometric networks of rejected adolescents at the stage of mid-adolescence. The sample comprised of nine independent sections of school students studying in 7th to 8th grades. The nine sections were evenly distinguished across boys, girls, and co-educational schools. Partial-rank-order sociometric scale involving three positive and three negative choices was used to assess sociometric status of each student. The evidence suggests that although, popular adolescents have more tendency to form reciprocal friendship with popular adolescents, there was also sufficient evidence, though week, of reciprocal friendship between rejected and popular adolescents.
