The article presents a psychological analysis of the problems connected with maturing of modern adolescents, it also describes the corresponding pedagogical practices. The authors rely on regulatory documents, activities of various subjects of education (educational institutions, children's public organizations), and materials from sociological research. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, the authors identify the main conditions of teenagers' maturing (co-existence in events, meetings, dialogues, trials, acts, joint productive socially significant and approved activities). The experience of creating growing-up spaces for teenagers is described. The novelty and practical significance of the study lies in the theoretical substantiation of pedagogical conditions contributing to the social maturation of adolescents, as well as in the description of real practices.
