Conflicts between adolescents in high schools are not a
previously untouched topic, but studies related to this problem
seem to be somewhat oblivious. Conflicts, acts of physical
violence, and especially verbal violence among high school students
of our society, have increased in recent years. Teenagers in these
schools have become more aggressive and violent. Adolescent
conflict with parents, teachers, and with each other at school has
become a phenomenon that poses the typology of today's
teenagers.
This study was undertaken for the recognition, treatment and
identification of this problem, as well as for determining the ways
and means for resolving conflicts between adolescents and teachers
in secondary schools, young people and their families. The study
showed that conflicts are diverse, specific, and the main sources
of conflict in our schools today are many.
Meanwhile, the study enabled us to identify as the main road to
overcoming conflicts among adolescents with each other, with
teachers and parents compromising, confronting, interceding, and so
on.
The study was based on field research and analysis of data
obtained from the survey of a sample of 500 high school students in
Elbasan, who were randomly assigned.
Those schools were selected from families from rural areas and
adolescents with different psycho-cultural backgrounds. The
instrument used to obtain information was a questionnaire with open
and closed questions.
Key words: conflict situations; teenagers;
parents; families; teachers; pupils; school and family settings;
western culture; intolerance etc.
