In addition, the school environment also has a positive and significant effect on toxic friendship, with a t-value of 19.868 and a significance level of less than 0.001. Furthermore, toxic friendship shows a positive and significant effect on students' resilience, with a t-value of 4.434 and a significance level of less than 0.001. Moreover, the mediation test reveals that toxic friendship significantly mediates the relationship between the school environment and students' resilience, as indicated by a t-value of 3.202 and a significance level of 0.001. These findings suggest that a conducive school environment contributes to enhancing students' resilience, both directly and indirectly through the formation of healthier peer relationships.
