(en) When adolescent sexuality becomes a cause for concern... Teenage sexuality is rarely banal, especially when it reveals itself with turmoil or violence. This article proposes to discuss some worrying aspects of a “sexual acting out” at this stage of life. With the help of a classification, we attempt to distinguish between that which can be assimilated into developmental normality and that which assumes a pathological dimension. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this presentation aims to raise awareness on the part of adults – professionals and parents – of the advantages of communicating with young people on this theme which, whilst obviously concerning everyone, can also become a real cause for concern.
