Such characterological features of adolescence as the formation of self, self-esteem, self-attitude, self-control, gender, social identification; determination in values and value orientations, search for a group where the juvenile feels comfortable are revealed. On this basis, the interest of researchers in this age group, characterised by activity, expressiveness, unpredictability, aimed at committing both constructive and destructive actions and deeds, is not decreasing. Destruction more often characterizes deviant juveniles who have a distorted view of themselves and the world and propensity for asocial rules of behaviour.
