The views over the youths compose a scenario with different discourses and conceptions about being young in our society, ranging from naturalizing comprehensions, as well as conceptions that understand the plurality of youths. Based on these discussions, this study sought to understand the constitution process of young people from a practice group. For this, we proposed the experience of a group practice that took place in the school clinic within an university in the interior of Minas Gerais. From the waiting list, ten weekly meetings were organized throughout the second half of 2018 with seven young people. We looked for inspirations in Historical-Cultural Psychology, in dialogue with markers of social and the theory of intersectionality to build a group practice in a care context. The group practice was understood as a space that made it possible to listen to the subjects' speeches, as well as produced affects, tensions and powers, transforming the field of the experiences lived into others possibilities of existence. Through clippings of scenes from the speeches of the young people that were transcribed from the meetings, the analyzes were guided by the analysis of from the senses of the speeches. From the meetings, it was noticed that both the normativity, as well as the dominant tendencies from conditions of gender, ethnic-racial, body aesthetics and purchasing power transversalized the speeches of the young people, producing inequalities, causing a decrease in the power of existing, leading them to recognize themselves as a problem or as producers of their own suffering, reducing social issues (gender, ethnic-racial, body aesthetics and purchasing power) to the individual, as if meeting or not a standard was a lack of effort or competence of the subject. It was also evident that when they were able to denounce how social inequalities affect them and when they found welcoming, a space for sharing the common, they became and act in other ways, such as: questioning and problematizing experiences they had lived, opening spaces for dialogues at home and with friends, seeking new experiences and strengthening bonds between themselves. Therefore, it is possible for us to affirm group practice as a potent space for promoting ethical-political health and, therefore, of potency of action.
