Recently in Lithuania from behind the worsen material and social life a decency of the family. Also, tne defence of children is diminished. Children most ofter become the sacrifices of the social development. Families who live in poverty encaunter partycularty with difficulties in the upbringing, in the child – minding and in the control of behaviour of children. There are many children who don,t work, learn. Some children are on the road. They often get mixed up in criminal activity. This is a drug addiction and an alcoholizm. In my work I considired peculiarities of the children of the group of the risk and the dependence of the peculiarities on the surroundings. In order to clear up the age peculiarities of the children of the group of the risk was carried out an experiment and 666 children of the group of the risk from 4 th – 10 th forms were questioned. Having analised the given experiment, it is possible to maintain, that the peculiarities of the children of the risk are different and they depend on the age. In order to help children of the risk, to bring the children up to be fully fledged, that they became the generation of the future, it is necessary to strengthed an influence of the famoly in the life of the child. It is necessary to pay more attention to the employment and leisure of the children.
