Abstract

This text presents a research conducted with adolescents and young adults, covering important aspects about this age group which, in this case, goes from 15 to 24 years old. The objective is to know how family interactions and the satisfaction and failures or disappointments experienced in these interactions were understood by the adolescents and young adults interviewed. Included here are themes concerning the perception that the participants had about family and its circumstances: family interactions, the satisfaction felt in these interactions, and the failures and disappointments that arise when the experiences do not correspond to their ideals of coexistence. Focus groups were carried out with adolescents from 15 to 19 years old of both sexes, enrolled in the Pescar Project in Porto Alegre, and individual interviews with young university students from 20 to 24 years old. The results show idealizations about family in contrast with experiences and ambivalent feelings about it. Positive and negative aspects coexist, without the contradictions obscuring the centrality of the family in human life for both groups of participants. The role that physical punishment plays in the upbringing of children, especially by adolescents, is highlighted.
