Keičiantis socioekonominei situacijai Lietuvoje, paaugliai patiria stresą, įtampą, įvairiomis formomis pratrūkstančią, agresiją. Viena iš agresijos formų – agresyvus elgesys su gyvūnais. Paauglystėje pasireiškiantis agresyvus elgesys ypač pavojingas, nes šiuo laikotarpiu, gyvūnus skriaudžiantys, vaikai apskritai yra linkę skriausti silpnesnius, negalinčius apsiginti ir tai gali tapti nuolatine elgesio savybe. Žiauraus elgesio su gyvūnais mąstą galima sumažinti tinkamai ugdant vaikus, laiku įdiegiant pagarbą, gailestį ir atsakomybę gyvūnams.

ENRelevance of the topic. As the socio-economic situation is changing in Lithuania, adolescents suffer from stress, tension and various forms of aggression bursting out. One of its forms is aggressive behaviour with animals. Aggressive behaviour, which appears during adolescence, is dangerous as children who are cruel with animals are inclined to hurt the ones who are weaker and not capable of defending themselves. As a result, this kind of behaviour can turn into a constant character trait. The prevalence of aggressive behaviour could be decreased by properly educating children and inculcating the sense of respect, sympathy and responsibility in due course. Aim of there search – to examine prevention of aggressive adolescents’ behaviour with animals organized by a social educator while working with adolescents. A theoretical analysis of the topic has revealed that a social educator in particular can help to deal with the problem of aggressive adolescents’ behavior with animals as their professional field includes a variety of suitable methods and activities. While applying work methods, a social educator can help adolescents overcome communication difficulties, reduce emotional tension, develop certain social skills, attitudes, provide information about help availability and foster development of a personality. Having analyzed the activity of a social educator organizing prevention of aggressive adolescents’ behavior with animals, it has been noticed that prevention activities and projects are rare and not well-organized, and there is lack of information about help availability. In order to reduce the number of aggressive adolescents’ attacks on animals, it is necessary to make use of a social educator, as they can carry out educational activities and do preventive work.
