ABSTRACT
That some adolescents of both sexes pose difficulties to each other, to their parents, to educational and other authorities, not least of which are the forces of law and order, is wellknown. Part of their individual or, more frequently, group challenges to procedures which are established is creative, but when obstructed in this process, evoking responses which are partly idealistic and partly iconoclastic, there can be a resort to more clearly destructive behaviour.
