Problem find Procedure <BR>The purpose of this study is to throw light upon the social character of modern highteens. The first point is to formulate their main characteristics by analyzing the data of the attitude survey of three highteen groups.(high school boys, young factory workers and white collar workers). The next point is to explore the conditions that injure their healthy development by using many documents about the highteen problems.<BR>Results Three characteristics of modern highteens are mainly as follows;<BR>(1) they have pluralistic ethical value systems, thatis, their values and ideologies are not monotheistical, (2) they assume rather ego-centric attitudes toward the society but they are the sametime, very sensitive to the judgement of their peer-groups, (3) they are practical and externally oriented, never confined themselves within the inner-worlds and enrich them.<BR>They have heathy personality traits in budding, but they are weak as individuals. So they cannot resist the negative forces without as individuals and are liable to surrender to the negative conditions, for example, over-competition in school and other seeming uncontrollable socio-political forces.
