Why do teens tend to worry about their social life a lot?

I'm a girl in high school and I've noticed this. Many of my peers--and sometimes myself, as well-- worry about having haters, who's their "real" friend or not, etc. Why? It doesn't seem like this will matter in the long run.

    Because in high school everyone wants to have a lot of friends, it's just how it is. Some people love drama and want to be popular, some people are insecure and need friends to make them feel better.

    Social life is important, many people who don't have friends or a social life end up with depression. And people don't like to be hated.
