| Abstract [eng] |
According to the D. Žvalionytė, Ž. Martinaitis’s (2007) opinion based on the researches of Eurobarometer (2005), Lithuania is one of the European Union countries with high level of migration. 83 157 people emigrated from Lithuania In 2010, 53 863-in 2011, 41 000 –in 2012, and 19857 people chose Great Britain (Lithuanian Department of Statistics). It is obvious that one of the most attractive countries for emigrated families is Great Britain. Statistics shows that emigration of married people has decreased, but has not disappeared (25 390 people in 2010, 14 332 people in 2011, 10 649 people in 2012), and this fact causes such consequences that are not always sufficiently appreciated. Consequences for the family, and, especially for children, who have reached adolescence, caused by migration, are not only underestimated but also there is a lack of knowledge which is necessary to create favourable conditions for teenagers to adapt to the new environment (Kaniušonytė, Truskauskaitė, Gervinskaitė, 2012; Mazolevskienė, Montvilaitė, 2013). Adaptation is connected with the impact of parents, educational institutions and peers to the process of teenagers’ successful social adaptation , which is also an integral part of adolescent sexual identity, and which influences not only teenagers’ behaviour but also the reaction of people to the factors of social adaptation of girls/boys. |
