It is a theoretical study that discusses the formation of the identities of youths from their social and cultural relations. It deals with the theme of the formation of the identities taking the youths as a youth condition that is formed and is reformed within a  liquid-modern context. The text aims at stressing the importance of establishing solid and affective relationships among young people and the school, although there are still difficulties for this consolidation, taking into account the premise that there is an epistemological blindness which features the youths as deviled groups, full of violence, difficult to deal with. We try to show with this study that there are cultures that prevent that the youngster enters the school as a youngster, except on the condition as a student, leaving its history, his/her social and cultural life and his/her identity outside of the school. To accomplish all this will require the discussion of  a more open school space to the cultural diversities,  and to the different ways of being young and to live the youth in the school while a space of care.
