Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ) developed by Sarson et al. (1987) was used to assess the social support of adolescents. Results found that female adolescents received more social support in terms of quantity (SSQN) and were more satisfied than their counterparts. Results further exposed that the adolescents who joined extra coaching classes got more social support in terms of quantity (SSQN) from non family members also as compared to the adolescents who did not joined any extra coaching classes.
