AB  - The five C's of positive youth development (PYD) (competence, confidence, 
      character, caring, and connection) have been associated with adaptive development 
      among young people. Gender differences in young people's wellbeing and mental 
      health have been studied and analyzed, but the investigation into their 
      association with the five C's is still in its infancy. In the present study, we 
      analyzed the influence of the five C's on the wellbeing, more specifically, 
      anxiety, social alienation, general wellbeing, physical symptoms, and 
      psychological symptoms, of Portuguese adolescents, by gender. Participants were 
      5(th)-12th grade students attending public schools in Lisbon, Portugal. The 
      questionnaire was administered to 384 adolescents. The results indicated 
      important gender differences in young people's wellbeing. The results revealed 
      some differences between genders that should be considered in interventions that 
      aim to promote the wellbeing of adolescents. On the other hand, confidence was 
      positively associated with mental health and wellbeing for both boys and girls, 
      skill should be promoted among young people, because it was competence that 
      revealed the greatest association with wellbeing, among the variables analyzed.
