Peculiarities of information-psychological security of adolescents tending to deviant behavior

The article discusses the features of information and psychological safety of adolescents who are prone to deviant behavior. It is noted that deviant behavior is the result of a confrontation between the newly formed adolescents' ideas about their own social environment and certain reference images of personality in the moral and ethical aspect. “Dangerous” content on the Internet and media is rather absorbed by the deviant adolescent due to the simplicity of perception, and, as a result, the already existing picture of the world and social environment is deformed in the adolescent, further provoking deviant behavior. As a result of the influence of certain information on a teenager already prone to deviant behavior, an even more deformed personality is formed, which compensates for its “inferiority” in various types of deviant behavior.
