The article also considers the manifestations of aggressive behavior of adolescents as a consequence of a conflict situation, identifies types of aggression. It is noted that the most aggressive are 12–15-year-old adolescents – boys, who are dominated by physical aggression, which fades with age, and girls with age there is an increase in this form of aggression. By the age of 15–18, boys have a surge of verbal aggression. With a decline in indirect aggression in boys, there is a significant increase in girls. Negativism is significantly shown by boys of all ages. The conflict in the system “teacher-student”, “student-student” is considered, which reflects the main causes of such conflicts. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of conflicts in school life.
