This work aims to study the social construction of the concept of adolescence and its implications in the school context. The broad objectives of the research are to identify how teachers and high school students perceive adolescence and examine the influence of these perceptions on the relationships established among these subjects and their consequences in the process of teaching and learning. It was used as the theoretical foundation, especially the contributions of Muuss (1966) on the main theories postulated by adolescence Developmental Psychology, as Biogenetic Theory of Psychology, St. Stanley Hall, the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud and Setting Theory of Ego Identity, Erik Erikson. The concepts of Habitus, Field and Symbolic Violence, of Pierre Bourdieu (1992), and the concepts of Stigma, social and real identity, of Erving Goffman (2004), direct on this research, the understanding of how they engender objective and subjective relations between individual and society. The field research was conducted in a State High School of the City of Ibaiti - PR, and it used the following data collection instruments: a) documentary research, which used the records of coordination on pedagogical situations disputes involving teachers and students, and b) the wheel conversation, an adaptation of the technique of Focus Group, which had two separate groups of participants: one for teachers and one for students. For analysis and processing of information, we used the technique of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977). The results indicate that: a) teachers and students have a preconceived image about adolescence, strongly linked to the idea of thrill, adrenaline, pleasure and irresponsibility; b) The insights have obvious influence of psychologized speeches, however, despite not presenting themselves connected to the idea of crises, conflicts and turmoil, refer to the image of a carefree, irresponsible and disinterested subject of the adult world in general, which allows to infer the presence of a stigma of adolescent behavior, c) the recognition of a unique identity in the relationships that are established within the school is the object of desire of both teen learner and teacher; d) despite the constant conflicts that pervade relations between adolescents and adults, the presence of an adult reference is claimed by adolescents participating in this research; e) the difficulties generated by conflicts arising from perceptions about the stigmatized teenager condition promote the dismissal of the educational act. The results of this research indicate a need for overcoming stigmatization impacts from teens in school life. They also direct provocations to better understand the true identities of school subjects and raise thoughts about the possibilities for them to jointly build an interactive educational practice compromised with the demands of real individuals who make up school.
