                                                 Adolescent aggression and behaviour are the most visible form of violence in modern times.It emerges from multiple risk factors. The childhood adulthood conflict is one of the major reason for adolescent problems. In our society the adolescent is considered as either as a child or as an adult.Adsutment difficulties are another reason.Adjustment problems with society,problem in school environment,finance problems ,problem of freedom and liberty,problems related to sex,classroom conflicts,ignorance,use of substances,social networking sites etc are another reasons.

                                     Theft or robbery, violence against women and children,drinking, use of narcotics, violations etc are the main problems creating by the adolescent group. To understand the problems or criminal in adolescents I prepared a questionnaire and conducted a survey.15 adolescents participated in the survey. All the surveyes were aware about the physical change occurred. The spent lesser time with their parents.All of us use mobile phones daily for entertainment. All of them agree that they didn’t use any intoxicants. They know its side effects and consequences.

                                                      CONCLUSION

There is no unsolvable problem in the world. Problems of adolescents too. A broad minded approach is need for this.Prental supervision, proper educational planning, teacher control ,governmental participation, proper guidance and counselling and good participation of social workers are helpful in dealing with the problems of afolescents.Discuss the criminal problems with children and ask them to find a solution.Parents and teachers can create a mentality against criminal thinking and through it save our future generation.
