Introduction. The specific expression of juveniles’ deviant behavior has given us the reasons to consider and distinguish the mechanism of psychogenesis of teenager’s behavior, to view with objectivity the essential motives of behavior which don’t conform to age-related patterns and traditions. Results of the Survey and Discussions. The influence of variety of factors on the formation of a young personality of puberty age is presented. In native age-related psychology adolescence is described as a period of the development of new personal qualities being formed in the course of socialization, upbringing and education. At the same time the formation of teenager’s negative traits stimulating his or her asocial behavior is established. Special attention of psychologists is given to the elimination of personality deformities of modern adolescents, to deviant behavior and antisocial expression of maladaptive behavior, disruptiveness, egocentricity, aggression, accentuated and addictive behavior. It is stressed that psychobiological factors determining the development of mental functions are connected with individual and psychological traits of character, with motivation, emotional and strong-willed spheres of teenager’s personality. During the teen years there is an alteration of a juvenile from surrounding world orientation to self-imposed direction i.e. to his/her own identity orientation. The essential innovation of this age-related period is a teenager’s perception of him/herself not to be a child and their strong desire to become an adult as soon as possible The principle type of activity is emotional and intimate contact with their peers, in such process new roles are played, norms of social behavior are adopted, cognitive and professional interests are developed, ideals, self-awareness and thinking are acquired. Conclusions. Deviant behavior is caused by a number of factors such as social, social and pedagogical, individual and psychological ones, mobbing and bossing. These factors are expressed as a single set and they require a systematic approach in carrying out prevention of a negative behavior pattern and psychological and pedagogical correction of some personal qualities of juveniles.
