Adolescence is an age of transition, from a world of care to an autonomous, free and responsible life, unavoidable cause for discoveries and errors. Unfortunately today’s parents are not able to help their sons - mostly only child - to deal with the hard and necessarily slow maturing process; sons who, even in crisis times, are not deprived of opportunities that mostly exceed their demands and desires, and to whom parents even project their own desires and ambitions. From here the regression into a childhood too early left and the inclination to prematurely take behaviours and decision which would re-quire to be able to desire, wait and imagining.
