Prospects of modern adolescents in the context of life trajectory

2244

Abstract

The article discusses the dynamics of theoretical and applied ideas of adolescence from the viewpoint of designing individual trajectory for this age. It also analyzes the blurring of lines of adolescence, delaying vital choices and hindered separation from parents as the trends of the modern existence of adolescence. The article examines the features of modern society (transitivity and its consequences), hindering the design of path of life and contributing to the shift of strategic thinking in this area to tactical. The article regards the role of the family, in particular, the cultureof discussing future, from the point of view of support to a teenager’s design of his/her life trajectory
