The main hypotheses to be tested in the study are: Post-intervention self-compassion scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Post-intervention compassion scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Post-intervention peer relationships scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Follow-up self-compassion scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Follow-up compassion scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Follow-up peer relationships scale scores will be significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group. Researchers will compare the experimental group (receiving the program) to a control group to see if the Nurse-Led Self-Compassion and Kindness Program is effective in enhancing compassion and peer relationships in adolescents. Participants will: Participate in the Nurse-Led Self-Compassion and Kindness Program 1 day a week for 6 weeks Complete the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test questionnaires
