Interpersonal relations of adolescents

Interpersonal relations of adolescents are built at the time of their psycho-emotional changes. Adolescence is characterized by the abolition of previously established rules of behavior and the acquisition of new character traits and social norms. The child begins to realize his belonging to the adult world, the boundaries of society expand, there is an awareness of oneself and one's self, self-actualization begins.

All these changes in the psyche and physiology of the adolescent make me change my attitude to my peers and adults. Interpersonal relations of adolescents during this period are based on many factors.

It has long been proven that interpersonal relationships in the child's family play an important role in the formation of the self-concept and self-esteem of the individual, which in the future is of great importance in constructing the relationship between adolescents. Important factors in the child's socialization are: the level of education of parents, the type of their occupation, the psychological situation in the family, material prosperity, etc. All these factors to a great extent already from childhood predetermine the child's life . Under the influence of these factors, as well as the attitude toward the child, his upbringing with the laying of life priorities takes place. The development of the child's personality is greatly influenced by the relationship between the parents. The stereotype of their behavior is then completely copied, when interpersonal relations are formed in adolescence. If the family's atmosphere is unfavorable, parents quarrel, can not find a common language, or parents - alcoholics, drug addicts, this is all projected in the future on a teenage child.

But even in socially-advantaged families, education can go in different directions. If the child has no rights in the family and his behavior is regulated by norms and prohibitions, then a weak-willed, uninitiated, inspired being can grow up from this child, which can not be a full-fledged member of society. In another case, when democracy reigns in the family, the child can become independent, able to make decisions and act as a person.

Interpersonal relations of adolescents begin to form in collectives of voluntary (company of friends) or formed by adults (schools, circles, etc.). As a rule, the personal characteristics of all individuals begin to manifest themselves in the collective, and if the group consists of children who are not equal in terms of social status and material support, then conflicts begin. The collective is divided into groups whose members have common interests (not always constructive). So, usually, in the school class appears a group of antisocial loitering teenagers who alcoholize, smoke and exhibit other features of deviant behavior. There is also a group of teenage girls in the class who are popular with the opposite sex, they tend to have accelerated sexual development and are prone to manifestations of "adulthood." Their behavior is distinguished by the absence of shame, bright clothes and makeup. Such girls do not study well, do not set themselves the goal of getting an education or becoming a full-fledged member of society.

There are also teenagers in the team who are distinguished by their quiet behavior, compliance, they are often the victims of the alcoholic group of adolescents. As a rule, these are children whose behavior was constantly regulated by parental prohibitions. They often have low self-esteem, they are closed and taciturn, they do not go to contact with their peers badly.

Interpersonal relations of adolescents are very complex process, formed under the influence of many factors, but the most important in this process belongs to the child-parent relationship in the family.
