Abstract: Comparative analysis establishes the features of the structural components of the meaningful future of adolescents with deviant and prosocial forms of behavior. The value-meaningful, emotionally significant objects that determine the teenagers' vital activity with respect to the future are revealed. The article outlines the problems that hamper the development of deviant adolescents as subjects of their own vital activity. It is shown that adolescents showing deviant behavior and characteristic for them ways and means of transformative activity, possess the necessary traits and qualities, but they are of a low level. The results of the study indicate that they suffer from lack of focused time perspective and an unclear target act that occurs in the field of subjective values. Reduction of the activity of the cognitive component in behavioral strategies leads to high emotional involvement, loss of a sense of control over one's own emotions and behavior. The reduced level of reflexivity makes it difficult to develop the skills of self-analysis, self-knowledge and understanding of motives of one's own activity, a violation in the sphere of regulation of one's activity.
