This thesis analyzes the main psychological factors influencing the development of behavioral deviations among adolescent girls. Adolescence is an important stage of emotional, social, and psychological development. During this period, the need for self-awareness, independence, peer acceptance, and personal identity formation becomes more pronounced. Difficulties in these developmental processes may contribute to the emergence of various forms of deviant behavior. The study applies systemic, comparative, and theoretical-analytical methods. The analysis identified low self-esteem, emotional instability, low stress resilience, impulsivity, family conflicts, peer pressure, and the influence of the digital environment as important factors shaping behavioral deviations in adolescent girls.
