Abstract

The article deals with the problem of aggressive behavior of adolescents and the possibilities of its social prevention in
the modern educational and social environment. The reasons associated with the development of aggressive manifestations
in adolescence are revealed, in particular, the peculiarities of family upbringing, the influence of peers, the media space,
social instability and psycho-emotional stress. It has been established that adolescence is accompanied by intensive
changes in personality, the formation of value orientations, the need for social recognition and emotional sensitivity.
In the presence of unfavorable conditions, this can lead to the emergence of aggressive forms of behavior. The views
of scientists on the concept of aggression and aggressive behavior are summarized, and the socio-psychological and pedagogical factors that influence its manifestation among adolescents are also described. The content of social prevention of aggressive behavior of adolescents in educational institutions is separately considered. It is noted that the results of preventive work are associated with the degree of interaction between teachers, psychologists, social workers and parents, as well as with the creation of safe conditions for the educational process, in which adequate communication, mutual respect and the development of social skills of adolescents are supported. It is noted that prevention involves the early identification of risk factors, the formation of emotional self-regulation skills in adolescents, the development of non-violent conflict resolution skills and the support of positive forms of interaction in the school community. It is emphasized that the combination of educational, socio-pedagogical and psychological measures is an important condition for effective preventive work with adolescents. As a result, it is emphasized that systemic social prevention of aggressive behavior helps reduce the level of conflict among adolescents, contributes to the formation of a safe social environment and supports their socialization. The obtained provisions can be used in the practice of social work and when organizing preventive programs in secondary education institutions.
