Young people"s problems in USA (Ρ€Π΅Ρ„Π΅Ρ€Π°Ρ‚, курсовая, Π΄ΠΈΠΏΠ»ΠΎΠΌ, ΠΊΠΎΠ½Ρ‚Ρ€ΠΎΠ»ΡŒΠ½Π°Ρ)

Adolescents (10 to 17 years) are generally living in an unhealthy way of life. On the results of the research Institute of hygiene and protection of health of children, among students in 9−10 grades of Moscow schools the number of smoking boys in 1995 was 21,0% in 2001 — 27,%, and girls — respectively 27.

0%, 31.

0%. But the given numbers continue to increase, which make us do epidemic conclusions that in the recent decade there will be a rapidly increasing number of adolescent smokers, and that smoking prevalence in the population of students will be extremely high.

The point of deviant behaviour of teens will not be considered fully if not touch the issue of the factors, which have determined. Though, it is difficult to speak and absolutize the value of any single factor, here it is fair to claim that deviant behavior of teens is determined by a complex of objective and subjective factors of the psychological, biological, and what is more important — by the social factors, which strengthen the influence of all others, and sometimes even determine the complexity of reasons. It is important to understand that the determining factors are closely interrelated and interdependent.

Thus, there is a question, what is to be blamed for such frightening problems of Russian teens? Unfortunately, the scientists tell that the first key point in teens deviant behavior is the negative impact of the family. Often the development of deviant and criminal teens' behaviour can be affected by the way of life of this teen’s parents and older members of his family who are marked by drunkenness, low cultural and educational level, asocial way of life, etc. After all, the example of the parents is always believed to give a pattern of behavior to children to get an idea of the proper behavior, attitude to society, work, or attitude towards other people. The risk of juvenile delinquency, is proved to increase in the families where violence is approved, as well as in the families marked with aggressiveness and violence.

The next key factor is the influence of the MEDIA, which create the prerequisites for violation of the law and contribute the spread of the social impact of crime and criminal subculture in the Russian society.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that in Russia the teens' problems are also the same — deviant behavior alongside with the use of harmful substances, but the roots and the consequences are much different.

First, in Russia the deviant teen behavior is spread over the society, teens in Russia tend to be a criminal sector due to the fact that they try to satisfy their so-called animal instincts. Whereas American teens are mostly not so aggressive and are regarded as sensitive to the physiology and phsychology and thus American teens tend to be discussed within the problems of various disorders rather that in the context of violence towards other people.

What has been the major surprise is the factor which has contributed the development of the described tendencies: family and mass media are to be blamed for observed teen deviancies whereas in the USA the fact of deviances is likely to be explained through the inner struggle of the teen with mother or himself.

Conclusion

Adolescence is proved to be a psychologically troubled period. As children are moving into adulthood and struggle to acquire and consolidate their independence, they pass through various phases that affect the psyche. Growing up, grow, and pressure from parents, friends, society and this is a huge problem for some.

Teens in America, as the research has proved, face many problems including depression, sexual pressures, bullying, financial worries, the balance of media, technology and image, as well as drugs and alcohol. Conflicting messages at home, at school and within the media result in stress and confusion. Teenage problems are stated to be are interwoven, with one generally accompanied by another in America.

As for Russian teens, their problems are much worse: public delinquency and drug addiction.

Though it is unfair to bulk all adolescents into one category and suggest they are all the same, just as it is unfair to do that with any general group. All teenagers are individuals, and the way that they had interpreted the experiences in their life in known solely by them. Adults are wrong when they look at an adolescent and assume they understand how the child feels or what is going on with them.

The ability to respond to the needs and expectations of young people is a key factor for the success of any family today and its recognition as a reliable contributor to the development of society.

Another important aspect to cope with the stated problems is developing positive relationships between young people and adults who are able to provide support, confidence, real challenges and opportunities to assist young people in trying out adult roles and acquiring skills recognized by society.
