Children are often regarded as being supported and controlled by adults, rather than their peer groups. In contrast, drawing on research carried out in Finland, this article considers peers as a resource. Using mainly a 14-year-old's oral narratives, it is shown how the spatial and social context enables and inhibits children's mutual support and control, reflecting and producing social and moral positions, and inclusion and exclusion. The analysis exploits the performance approach, which stresses children's active role in the formation of social resources and reconstructs support and control from a child's point of view.
