Abstract: 
This study examined the relationships between prosocial behaviour, empathy, and social
support in Lebanese teenagers. It fills a gap in the literature by concentrating on these crucial
aspects of adolescent development within the particular cultural context of Lebanon. The
study investigated teens' experiences with social support from friends, family, and the
community, their varied levels of empathy, and how frequently they engage in helpful
activities. Data from a group of adolescents in Lebanon was gathered and analyzed by the
research using psychological scales. The findings show a favorable correlation between
increasing prosocial conduct and higher cognitive and affective empathy levels. Adolescents'
propensity to act in a prosocial manner is also strongly increased by perceived social support,
especially from family. These results are meant to assist educators, mental health
professionals, and policymakers in incorporating social support and empathy into school
curricula.
