Results yielded a number of common themes present among two or more participants. For description of their peer relationships- play, conversation, fight, good treatment, agreement, time, protection for difficulties they encounter in these peer relationships- bullying, hurt feelings, helplessness for strategies with regards to coping with these difficulties- self defense, disregard, divert attention, authority and failed strategies. These themes are discussed and supported by statements made by the participants themselves.
