My idea about the topic

Mentor
- the person can face issues difficult to manage because the young age
- the person can underestimate  issues or problems that are reported to him/her

Mentee
- the person can have difficulties in experimenting autonomy because of the comforting presence of the peer
- the person could be dissuaded from making new friends or experiences because the persone feels reassured by the bond with the peer

# data[].attributes.body
My idea about the topic.
Mentor
+the person can be part of the school organization and from a wider perspective the person can feel more like a citizen
+the person can make the experience of playing an active role in school and in society
Mentee
+he/she can feel to matter to the society because the school environement is the first experience of a young person in society context
+the person can feel accepted and considered with his/her cultural beliefs and needs

Establishing organised peer support – motivating the first generation of teenage students in participating in the programme, encouraging them into giving and asking for peer support. Also, adequate pairing of mentors and mentees and finding space (classrooms often booked completely, as are schedules of students).

# data[].attributes.body
Mentees gain new and further develop existing skills needed in achieving their full academic and peer relationships potential. The mentee – mentor relationship sets grounds for a confident younger scholar, mostly by providing him with a sense of fun peer safety. Mentors are given responsability that develops their leadership, communication, problem solving skills; shapes them into an active, caring and inclusive member of society.

I think that the biggest challenge for mentors is to find a good approach,and for mentors and mentees the biggest challenge is to trust each other and finding time and motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
Personal growth,developing communication,leadership and social skills,empathy and making new friendships.

To take the most of them they have to sacrifice time. Sometimes it could be quite challenging considering how fast we live. That's why there should be high motivation and determination.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe mentors and mentees can overcome their shyness and learn how to socialise and share ideas and experiences. They can also develop a great sense of satisfaction and feel proud of themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Mentors - motivation, find a good approach to the new mentee; making time for them...
Mentees - motivation, ability to open up to someonee...

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main benefit for mentors and mentees is gaining confidence and solving challenging situations. But also learning new skills- communication and socialisation's skills...

# data[].attributes.body
There are some potential challenges for mentors and mentees. They will be busy with their academic work or personal issues, so
t will be hard for them to manage the time.

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits of peer support program for mentors and mentees is that they gain confidence and become aware of bullying or other problems or challenging situations. This improves their ability to decide in a logical way.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning numerous new skills for both - mentors and mentees. Mentors - satisfaction of helping others, feeling of acomplishment, leadership skills... some of the benefits for mentees - educational achievements, increased self-confidence, self-esteem, sense of belonging etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Finding time in the busy schedule of students who are involved in many activities in and out of school. Also, in my school we face the problem of lack of classrooms. It would be a challenge for us to find space where we would conduct activities related to peer support.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenge for mentees can be a lack of motivation to stay in the process they have applied for. Perhaps the biggest challenge for mentors is determining the limits to which they are responsible and when it is necessary to involve an adult in the peer mentoring process.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits for mentees are more visible - they are usually reflected primarily in the improvement of general school success, which is immediately noticeable. There are also long-term benefits - better socialization, development of self-confidence. Benefits for mentors may not be immediately visible, but they are present and usually long-term - development of empathy, willingness to help, self-confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits for mentees have to be with the personal feeling of havina "safe place" to share with someone that can help to face the trouble. It make them more confident and willing to be in the school and join the activities, increasing their feeleing of belonging to the scholar community.
But also mentors have benefits like developing their leadership, growing in empathy and self-knwoledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits have to do with emotional, psycological and social aspects, ending up (of course) in an academic success.
When students feel safe, it is easy to get them through learning and working at school.

Potential challenges in peer support at school, can be implementing a formal programme, with serious objectives and clear activities, giving the necesary time in the school schedule, and with formed people.
A successful program requires all community implication.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits to mentees are lowering stress related to school, getting all of the important knowledge about a course, initiating a close friendship with someone new.
Benefits to mentees are meeting new friends, helping someone in need and practicing social skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The potential challenges are finding students that are interested to mentor- given the amount of other activities that fill up their day.
Another challenge is how to monitor possible bad influence without disrupting privacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges are that it takes a lot of time and sometimes it is difficult to fit it into the schedule.

# data[].attributes.body
The benefits are that students get the emotional and social support and security of older students. Also, older students learn empathy and how to help others.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges to mentors: experience situations they don't have the knolwdge to lead with (ex: extreme personnal problems of mentees).
Challenges to mentees: trust mentors they didn't choose.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits to mentors: having the chance to reflect their own experience.
Benefits to mentees: having the chance to learn from others experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the potential challenges are finding time and teachers willing to participate.

# data[].attributes.body
Building communication skills, self-esteem and social intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
Benefits for both sides of peer support program are numerous. Building self confidence, communicational and social skills are some of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of all – time. Most of our students are spending lots of time on trip to school and back and it’s difficult to find time for meetings between mentors and their mentees.

Also, teachers need to know their students very well in order to find good mentor for particular student.

# data[].attributes.body
For mentees: it's important to have someone among peers for support, especially for shy and insecure students. This can be helpful with some personal or learning problems.

For mentors: being able to help someone is a very good for building self-confidence and creates good and positive feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
The challenges could be finding students capable of the task of mentoring, then fitting it into the schedules of the students and the school. Having supervision and finding teachers who offer to help sometimes costs more than finding students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the possible benefits are the possibility of developing a series of social skills that not all students have at this age, learning to communicate with other people and making and maintaining friendships, which will foster an atmosphere of trust that will eventually be extended. to the set of different classes.

# data[].attributes.body
stressful situations, difficulties with time management, shyness, mentees' problems exceeding abilities of the given mentors, possible loss of interest to continue mentoring

# data[].attributes.body
development of social skills, expanding social circles, getting out of one's "comfort zone", attaining new knowledge, expanding cultural awareness

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the benefits for mentors and mentees are  fosters teamwork, cooperation, patience, and better social skills. In a cooperative peer learning environment, each student's strengths can serve to complement the group and enhance learning.
Challenges
Most of them experienced common difficulties such as tutees' commitment,communication, time management, and lack of knowledge/ability to explain. These problems have affected the effectiveness of peer-to-peer tutoring program.

Exchange of opinions, knowledge, information, values.

# data[].attributes.body
Socializing among students, friendships can be made, students can overcome emotions by discussing the uncertainties with people close to their age.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of interest, shame and fear of sharing personal problems with others, organization difficulties due to complex school timetable, supervision an support for mentors.

# data[].attributes.body
Developing social and communication skills, making friendships, personal growth and development, encouraging an atmosphere of trust.

# data[].attributes.body
Mentors may not be skilled enough to solve some of their mentees problems. Also, it is possible that certain problems will burden them too much and tire them, which can result in giving up cooperation. In other words, helping can be exhausting work. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the mentor and the mentee will not get along, which can make their cooperation difficult. The mentor should continuously work on himself in order to be able to adequately advise their mentee.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can develop their communication and social skills, be more introspective, learn how to adequately regulate emotions, solve problems, how to deal with stress, etc. All in all, the relationship can help strengthen psychological resilience and build important skills that can be useful later in life. Also, friendship and a deeper relationship can develop here, which can continue even after schooling.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges could be finding mentors willing to participate in the beginning, also finding time to organise this program in a school setting. Possible challange could also be organising supervision for the mentors to ensure the program is conducted conscientiously.

# data[].attributes.body
Building up self-esteem and social skills, developing better communication skills. Mentees also may receive academic support and this may reduce stress caused by having to adjust to a new environment. Mentors can build their leaderskip skills and learn to actively listen to others.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of time, losing the enthusiasm in time

# data[].attributes.body
Mentors as well as mentees can have a lot of benefits on their mental, social, psychological, academic and future life. They feel themselve safe in the school and always feel a close supporter and also adviser.I think this is really good for both sides.

# data[].attributes.body
Mentors in the program have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by facilitating group discussions and activities, providing guidance and support to their peers, and modeling positive behavior. They may experience a sense of pride and accomplishment from helping others and making a positive impact in their school community, they may enhance their communication skills through regular interaction with their peers, learning to listen actively, and expressing themselves effectively. Mentors may build strong connections with their peers and develop meaningful relationships through the program.

Mentees may feel supported by their peers in a safe and welcoming environment, which can lead to increased self-confidence and a sense of belonging.
Mentees may receive academic support and guidance from their mentors, which can lead to improved academic performance and higher graduation rates. They can also develop social skills and learn positive social behaviors through interactions with their peers. Mentees may receive emotional support from their peers, which can lead to better mental health outcomes and reduced feelings of isolation.

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of participation- encouraging students to participate in the program can be a challenge, particularly for those who may be hesitant to open up to their peers; maintaining confidentiality- ensuring that sensitive information shared during peer support sessions remains confidential can be a challenge, and mentors may require training in this area; managing group dynamics- group dynamics can be challenging to manage, and mentors may require training in group facilitation to ensure that everyone's voice is heard and that the discussion stays on track.

To learn to truly listen to others, to reflect on their problems and what is the best approach to a solution. Getting to know different approaches to life and reflection. Reducing the barrier of mistrust. They would have to work on themselves to help others more easily. Restraining excessive emotions and prejudices.
