Abstract Objective To explore whether youth behavior is influenced by social support, depression and peer gender. Methods A survey of 1 547 middle school students in Shanghai on social support, depression, and problem behaviors was carried out. The majority of peers for the same gender or the opposite gender were evaluated. Results ① Social support, depression, and problem behaviors were significantly different among peers. Most peers with opposite sex felt less social support, higher depression, and problem behaviors. ② Teenagers' social support, depression, and problem behaviors were significantly related. ③ The sense of depression played a part-mediated role in the relationship between social support and problem behaviors of adolescents, in which the first half was adjusted by peer gender. Conclusion Adolescent behaviors are influenced by social support, depression, and peer gender.
