In the last years, teenagers have experienced an evolution towards novelty, diversity, complexity and satisfaction of their wishes, fashions and free time activities. The change is bound to the new industry of leisure and the digital revolution, and it is reinforced by the great number of empty hours due to the progressive absence of parents and school. The latest teenagers have been introduced into a parallel world (known as «virtual reality») which is increasingly detached of reality. The author thinks that this parallel world creates big problems to the teenager: lack of formal thought, affective instability, emotional coldness, fears, anxiety and, finally, a kind of dispair. En la última década los adolescentes han experimentado una evolución en la novedad, diversidad, complejidad y sofisticación de sus gustos, moda y tiempo libre. El cambio está ligado a la nueva industria del ocio, la revolución digital y el descrédito de la enseñanza media: del estudio, prestigio de los profesores, presión del grupo de iguales. Los últimos adolescentes se han introducido en un mundo paralelo cada vez más ajeno a la realidad real. El autor se adentra en ese mundo de claves y lenguaje difíciles de ser captados por los educadores y por los padres.
