The analysis of the mismatch of the declared and implemented at the level of behavior values of a teenager, his hostility and aggression as a basis for the allocation of youth groups, characterized by different variants of values and behavioral destructions. A comparative analysis of selected groups allowed to determine the conditions of high, unstable and low propensity to vandalism behavior. Confirmed that a high propensity to vandal behavior of teenager is connected with significant destructions in the form of mismatch in value sphere of teenagers, and also with strong indicators of aggression and hostility. The decrease of indicators of hostility and aggression with the persistent disharmonization of value sphere of teenagers reduces the likelihood of them vandal acts, but does not prevent them entirely.
