Abstract

Adolescents meet a variety of difficulties on their way. Facing the challenges of the adult world, followed by hormonal, and sexual body restructuring teenagers have to win this battle, in another way, they will be destroyed by different types of effects. Adolescence is a secondary individuation when a child has to finally reject parents as objects of attachment, as authority figures find new authority figures and new objects of attraction outside the parental family. Parents, teachers and peers play an important role in adolescents growing up. Studying is one of the main tasks of adolescents. Depending on the individual peculiarities of teenagers they can try to avoid it or satisfy educational needs. The purpose of the work is to determine the peculiarities of children’s development during adolescence and define their influence on the process of education. The work was based on scientific articles of the last decade. In the search process the terms: "adolescence/psychoanalysis", "adolescence / psychoanalytic pedagogy", "adolescence / educational problems", "adolescence / emotional problems", "adolescence/education", or "adolescence/parents", or "adolescence/peers" were used. It was settled that the educational activity of adolescents has its difficulties and contradictions, but there are also advantages that a teacher can and should rely on.
