Peer mentors in secondary schools aid in the transition of younger students from primary school to secondary school.[13] They may assist mentees with their school work and study skills, peer pressure (such as pressure to use drugs or have sex), issues with attendance and behavior, and typical family problems.[14] Youth mentors are persons for children or adolescents to spend time with, often to compensate for absent family members or an inadequate home environment.[15] Mentoring programs for youth can be especially useful for students who are suffering from a lack of social support, and who therefore may be susceptible to delinquency.
