A escola é um importante local de aprendizagem acerca da educação para o adolescente, porém não nos esqueçamos de que a família também é fundamental nesse processo, por ser o primeiro lócus de aprendizagem e formação social das pessoas, haja vista a herança cultural passada dos pais para os filhos. Isso tende a ilustrar que os jovens apreendem seus conceitos já no seio da família. Objetivamos refletir sobre a adolescência no contexto da família e da escola diante da velocidade de mudanças nos diversos setores sociais, políticos, econômicos, éticos, entre outros. É um estudo reflexivo sobre os conceitos pertinentes à adolescência. Os conhecimentos dos adolescentes, apreendidos através da sua realidade sociocultural formando seus conceitos, chamamos de "senso comum" e entendemos como fortes influenciadores na vivência da fase, que por sua vez encontra barreiras de comunicação no seio da família. Entendemos que a família é o lócus onde o adolescente vê seus principais exemplos de vida. Refletindo sobre o estudo, consideramos a família e a escola como espaços primordiais na vida dos adolescentes.
