The urgency of this problem is obvious. In addition to the positive changes affecting modern society, there have been some negative trends. In particular, this is the lack of socio-economic stability in the state, the deterioration of the welfare of the majority of the population, depreciating moral and spiritual values, etc. as a result, negative manifestations in the form of drug addiction, alcoholism, moral decay of society, rejuvenation of crime, etc. have intensified. The category most susceptible to social and psychological changes is those of adolescence. Having studied the scientific and methodological sources on this topic, the researcher says that it is during adolescence period, when children become emotionally unstable, conflicted and aggressive. It is often difficult for them to control their emotions. These trends suggest that systematic educational and preventive activities aimed at correcting the deviant behavior of adolescents should be carried out.
