Youth and school. Perceptions and stereotypes sorrounding the school environment

Abstract

The article goes through the stereotypes that mark out girls and boys among their school time. For that purpose, the following categories are recognized: generation X, juvenile presentism, violence culture and light generation; being these the categories that position youth images that appear in the juvenile life, not obtaining further recognition of the experience and juvenile contexts. What happens then with those youths that do not fit the stereotype? Those youths that point serious differences with the scholar scheme, do suffer the weight of the norm and the stigma. That is why the question the relations between teacher and youth where a non simetrical relation persists which validates the power of one over the other, relations sustained on the control and domain of the world of the young; these non simetrial relations are reviewed checking their implicancies and possible changes.
