�PARENTS� OR �FRIENDS� IN THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ADOLESCENTS? PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS AND TYPES OF INTRAFAMILY RELATIONSHIPS IN ADOLESCENT EDUCATION

The most beautiful, but also the most complicated period in a person�s life is adolescence, because at this age, a series of transformations take place, making the transition from childhood to adulthood. Most teenagers, if they do not have the right guidance in life, can get lost in the thicket of emancipatory opportunities of today�s world, which give them the illusion of freedom, independence and personal autonomy in all aspects of life. A decisive role for the adolescent�s integrative education has always been played by the family, which prepares him to face all the challenges of this world. In contemporary society, we are witnessing to an increasing degree a reversal of the values and principles of a healthy life, whose reality and benefits are proven both by the humanities and medical sciences, but also by the spiritual experiences of man. In the secular world, it is observed that teenagers are encouraged to view their relationship with their parents on an equal footing, in other words, the parents are seen as �friends� and the word �parent� is not used anymore. Specialists in psychopedagogy draw attention to the fact that such an approach creates a vacuum in intrafamily relationships, a confusion with major implications in the life of the teenager, who can slide down the wrong path in life and get lost, because no entourage will be able to take the place of their mother and father or provide them with parental safety, love and understanding. In this study, we used experiential methods, such as case study, making a comparative analysis of the ways of approach in the relationship between parents and adolescents.
