According to the results of the study, a survey was con-ducted on the Likert scale, in which adolescents, parents and teachers assessed the level of behavioral changes associated with the condition and behavior diffi-culties. In the experimental group, the assessment of behavioral changes reached a maximum of 4.028 on a 5-point scale of positive changes, while the other two groups lagged significantly (2.402 for the support group and 2.12 for the control group).

Summary
The so-called behavior difficulties of adolescents has been the subject of research in psychology and pedagogy for a very long time [1,2,3]. As a result of awareness, psychological changes, and growing up, these behavior difficulties often go away without additional intervention. Behavior difficulties is the realization of a latent need for deeper psychological contact and deeper relationships with parents and mentors, obtaining a socially conditioned place among peers, recognition in the environment of a young adult [5].

Such assistance can take various forms, among which may be behavioral counseling, psychotherapeutic assistance, moral support and motivation, provision of necessary information and access to training sources [6]
