Friendship is extremely important in people’s lives. On the other hand, self-confidence is some of the important variable for the students.

The researcher used a descriptive quantitative design that seeks descriptive information on the relationship between the students’ number of friends and their level of self-confidence and also; there are two hundred forty-three respondents. The instrument used for the data collection was a quantitative survey using Likert scale to gather the needed data the researcher adopted a questionnaire from Rosenberg (1965). The data was analyzed through use of weighted mean and chi-square for determining the significant association between the number of friends in school and the level of self-confidence of the students. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant association between the number of friends in school and the level of self-confidence of the students.
