Abstract: With the method of sociometric nomination and questionnaire,the friendships of social withdrawal adolescents of 120 mutual dyads from grade 7 to grade 9 were investigated.The results showed:the quality of boy-boy friendship was lower than the mix-gender and girl-girl friendship.When compared with non-withdrawn friendship,withdrawal children lie in somewhat disadvantage status,but their friendships can function properly. Multiple regression showed that victimization and intimate-communication predicted the social withdrawal behavior positively and strongly,while the conflict-betrayal,trust-respect,and the numbers of friendship predicted the social withdrawal behavior negatively.Results are discussed in terms of the implications for prevention and intervention of social withdrawal from mutual friendships and peer relationships.

Key words: Social withdrawal, adolescent, friendship, victimization
