This dissertation deals with theoretical subjects referring to youth and adolescence. I suppose that the best way to have success in certain work is knowing in a detailed and deep way the subject or the group in which the work happens. This is the reason why I try to describe, on the basis of the current literature, what it means to be young, and to define the period of the adolescence. I describe the influences that youth becomes from the surrounding reality, in which task Bauman s book Liquid Modernity, represented a valuable aid, especially in the process of identification of changes in our time. The youth and your family are amid the culture of consumption and of the disposable, the culture of the here-and-now and the culture of pleasure and sensations. But that is not all. The own youth also goes through significant changes. I analyze, in this work, the youth and his inner world, the changes in the body and other related changes, the search for the same ones as the group , the search for itself and for his personal identity, the first passions and the first loves and the search for freedom. In this work, the theory is always linked to the practice. I look for theoretical references that agree with what we experience in practice. By means of these references, the period of adolescence and youth is described as a picture. The second part of this work focus on the youth and on the faith in God. The theoretical reference for that is the development of faith according to James Fowler. Since the theory of Fowler is based in Erikson, I also considered extremely important to include in this part Erikson s eight ages of the human being . Then we pay special attention to the conceptions of religion, creed and faith according to Fowler. The stages of faith are analyzed, not as a progress or improvement, but as a certain possible position in certain age to the faith. The specific phases of the faith in adolescence are described. A Daily one of Field in the aid to know this Young better. The young of the Youth Group of the Christian Community, again, give your contribution with drawings about how they imagine God. The work concludes with some practical proposals. Specifically in the youth group, in the leading groups and in the families it is essential for the youth to have an appropriate place inside of the Christian Community to handle in an appropriate and salutary way with your faith, doubts and changes.
