THE CONFLICTS BETWEEN ADOLESCENTS AND SOCIETY

Adolescence is one of the most complex and contradictory periods in human development, marked by intense psychological, social, and cultural transformations. This article investigates the multifaceted conflicts that arise between adolescents and society, exploring their psychological roots, sociological dimensions, and cultural manifestations. Drawing on classical and contemporary theoretical frameworks, the study analyzes how identity formation, generational gaps, educational pressures, family dynamics, and socioeconomic inequalities contribute to adolescent-society tensions. The article further examines how these conflicts are represented in English and Uzbek literature and proposes constructive approaches to conflict resolution through dialogue, empowerment, and institutional reform. The findings suggest that adolescent-society conflicts, while universal in nature, are significantly shaped by cultural, historical, and structural contexts.
