”Here comes reality” : a qualitative interview study on youths experience of current phase of life and of school social support (English)
Abstract [sv]

Statistiken visar att den psykiska ohälsan hos ungdomar ökar. Rapporter, teorier och tidigare forskning pekar på att övergången mellan barn och vuxen är skör och att skolan har en stor betydelse för individen. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka ungdomens upplevelser av nuvarande livsfas samt av det skolsociala stödet. Studien har tillämpats en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer för att besvara syftet. Åtta ungdomar från Stockholm i åldern 18–19 år intervjuades. Empirin analyserades med hjälp av flertalet teorier: moderniteten och individen, livsloppsperspektivet samt ett utvecklingsekologiskt perspektiv. Resultatet indikerar att ungdomar står inför en mängd val som genererar press och stress. Sociala medier är vidare ett fenomen som ungdomen pekar ut som en stor del av livet som genererar en stor del stress och press. Det finns dock en positiv aspekt med sociala medier, ungdomen menar på att plattformarna utgör möjligheter att känna samhörighet. Vänner, familj och lärare utgör det största stödet för ungdomen. Ungdomen anser att lärarna är den profession som i skolan omfattar det största skolsociala stödet. Skolkuratorn är mångt och mycket en främling på skolan och borde enligt ungdomen vara en mer involverad profession i skolans dagliga arbete.

Abstract [en]

Statistics show that the mental health of adolescens is increasing. Reports, theories and present research indicates that the transitions between child and adult is fragile and that schools are of great importance for the adolescens. This study aims to investigate the youth’s perspective on the current phase of life and the experience of school social support. The study used a qualitative strategy with semistructured interviews to answer the purpose. Eight youths in the ages 18–19 from Stockholm were interviewed. The result was analysed using several theories: modernity and the individual, the lifecourse perspective and a developmental ecological perspective. The result indicates that adolecents are facing a variety of choices that generate pressure and stress. Furthermore, is social media a phenomenon that the youths pointed out as a major part of their life. Although it also generates a great deal of stress and pressure there is a positive aspect with social media. The youth believes that the platforms makes opportunities to feel connected with others.  Friends, families and teachers are the greatest support for the adolecents. They think that teachers are the profession that make most of the school social support at school. The school counseling, is by large, a stranger and according to the youth, should be a more involved profession in the school’s daily work.
