Results: Emotional instability, identity-related difficulties, family conflicts, peer pressure, and adverse social environments are among the major factors contributing to the emergence of destructive behavioral patterns. The findings highlight the necessity of early identification of psychological risk factors and the implementation of comprehensive preventive programs. Novelty: Particular attention is paid to psychoprophylactic interventions designed to strengthen adolescents’ psychological well-being, improve emotional intelligence, enhance stress resilience, and develop constructive behavioral skills.
