In many Italian cities, including Puglia, an increase suicidal behavior among adolescents, as well as incidents that expose their increased vulnerability, including the acts of the so-called bullying. Questions and, although partial, answers that can be articulated are among the most diverse. Much has been said and will say, and ensure that this does not contribute to a reduction of the phenomenon. Yet we must take care to talk about it, we must understand for a change.

The plane of reflection, therefore, can only be the meeting point between social issues (for which, including economic and cultural) and psychological (for which, also psychopathology).

It seems that the lost storage capacity and, ultimately, growth regulators of teenagers here, among many others, which could be a cause of the emotional fragility of our children. In the past

institutions (the state, school, family and the Church ) were firm in their proposed legislation. They were well attuned to each other in the educational proposal, so the teenager who "deviated" from the path traced by the adults, could be called on track, sometimes through sanctions. There was no discrepancy between an institution and the other in considering the rightness of any action taken. Some small example. When the streets were full of children playing soccer, the great fear, especially of its owner, who happened to be passing was a policeman or a police officer, and seized the ball, because you could not play on the street, maybe even snapped a fine. Or, during the summer was the so-called "Controra", ie the afternoon slot of the day in which we could not stay on the street and shouting to play because most people slept. Here again, the offenders could be sanctioned. Finally, the boy sent to his shop during the summer because they commit the time to learn something useful at times he was scolded, but not limited to, the master craftsman. If you have visited by his father to seek justice, in most cases you will receive the rest unconditionally because the parent usually gave reason to the teacher. And so towards the school and who else was looking after children. Obviously this is not a defense of the penalty, what I mean is the possibility that such behavior by adults offered the teenager a drawing of a frame of certain limits, which helped him to better orientation in the social reality that began to address more emotionally balance, because sales were the reference models .. Solidarity among adults also, allow children and adolescents to introject patterns of social behavior of uniform, because the messages were contradictory. There were, however, even educational figures comforting and tolerant (usually mothers or other female family members) providing the child or the repair guy or treating emotional frustration.

Today, Guys and Dolls between television and real, between parents and teachers to beat a cell phone, including homophobia and sexuality, often seemingly well-defined, including competitions to make the tissue or to be elected to miss the neighborhood, the pact between the family and social reality has been shattered. Each institution has its problems and in this beautiful their slow, inexorable disintegration, to avoid that the solution seems to be to build walls or ideological emergency measures, is relegated to last place what, perhaps, girls and boys would really what you hear.

My feeling is that we hear very little about adolescents give to their emotional needs too little space. Even when this should be an institutional function, it happens that the listener is offered in terms of luck (think of the site of the Juvenile Court of Bari) or insufficient (I mean the too small number of psychologists working in schools). Really listen to young people would set in motion a dynamic of growth no longer linked to the educational models of the past, now and in part to luck, there are more, but the right of every child to find a solid emotional frame of reference with which confront.
