Participated 491 students aged between 11 and 16 years old, selected by convenience, of both sexes who attended the last three years of middle school in a city in the state of Minas Gerais. Participants answered Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents, Children's Self-Efficacy Scale, School Climate Questionnaire, and Socio-economic Demographic Questionnaire. The results indicated that girls showed more self-efficacy for extracurricular/leisure and social activities and more empathy and assertiveness than boys. The students presented more social skills of social/sexual approach and perceived more the school atmosphere about the relationship between students.
