Abstract	The present study investigates the correlates of Family Environment and Peer Support among Secondary School Students. Adolescence is a sensitive developmental stage in which family relationships and peer interaction significantly influence emotional adjustment, social behaviour, and educational experiences. The study was conducted through the Descriptive Survey Method on a sample of 200 secondary school students selected from government and private schools. Standardized tools were used to measure Family Environment and Peer Support. Statistical analysis through Product Moment Correlation revealed a significant positive relationship between Family Environment and Peer Support among total students, government students, private students, boys, and girls. The findings indicate that supportive family conditions positively contribute to healthy peer relationships and psychosocial adjustment among adolescents. The study emphasizes the importance of emotionally supportive family and school environments for promoting social confidence, interpersonal understanding, and balanced personality development among secondary school students.
