“…This led to the fact that students were losing their private personal viewpoint and own ego, so it was hard for them to become 'an ideal self" (Rogers, 2017), consequently, the SAC counseling needs within these student groups were very high. Related to single-mother families, students were provided with full of maternal love, care and protection (Luthar & Eisenberg, 2017); however, these students lacked decisiveness or determinedness characters from a father (Wong, 2017) as well as suffered unstable financial background (Härkönen, 2018); as a result, students living in single-mother families possessed a rather rough SAC and they were in need of support from SC activities.…”

The self-awareness capacity has long been no stranger in the foreign education, but in Vietnam, self-awareness capacity has only been developed in education in recent years. The self-awareness capacity related problems among Vietnamese students have been exacerbated such as gender-based violence, gender bias, wrong career choices, disorientation and school counseling activities currently could not support this difficulty for students. Based on the theoretical framework of self-awareness capacity from previous studies in Vietnam and further developing the aspects of self-awareness by age, the questionnaire had been done to survey of 726 lower-secondary school students and 474 upper-secondary school students to find the situation of their self-awareness capacity problems, as well as the need for self-awareness capacity problems counseling. The results demonstrated a positive correlation between self-awareness capacity problems and students’ need for self-awareness capacity problems counseling. In addition, identifying self-awareness capacity problems encountered by students helps us to develop a new school counseling model, as well as a process to counsel self-awareness capacity problems for students to enhance the self-awareness capacity and support school counseling activities effectively, also meeting the requirements of renewing the general curriculum in the students’ capacity development orientation in Vietnam. Keywords: self-awareness, self-awareness capacity, school counseling model, school counseling activities, student capacity development orientation.

“…Smaller proportions of youth resided in other situations, such as with the birth father alone or with grandparents. Research suggests a single mother family structure increases risk of criminal justice involvement and economic disadvantage (i.e., stress; for example, S. K. Wong, 2017); hence, a measure for single mother living situation was included in the analyses.…”

“…A large body of literature has supported general strain theory (e.g., Agnew & White, 1992;Craig et al, 2017;Hay & Evans, 2006;Piquero & Sealock, 2004). More recently, general strain theory has demonstrated promise for explaining how stressful factors (e.g., school victimization) lead to delinquent behavior (e.g., substance use, weapon carrying), particularly among sexual minority youth (Button, 2016;Button & Worthen, 2014, 2017. Sexual minority youth (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning [LGBTQ]) represent a subpopulation with characteristics that may place them at greater risk of experiencing certain types of stress/strain, some of which may be more criminogenic.…”

Youth involved in the juvenile justice system demonstrate greater risk of exposure to negative life experiences. The present study explores the prevalence of three stress-related experiences (sexual assault victimization, bullying/victimization, and minority sexual orientation) among newly arrested adolescents. Gender (biological sex) differences were examined as well as associations with sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, substance use, and sexually transmitted infection (STI). Factor analyses found a single factor of stress for both genders. Prevalence rates for bullying/victimization, sexual assault victimization, and sexual minority status were higher for girls than boys. Girls were also more likely than boys to test positive for STIs and experience depressive symptoms, while boys were more likely than girls to test positive for marijuana use. Depression and drug-related problems were associated with the stress construct for girls only. Bivariate comparisons with the three stress measures and sociodemographic characteristics indicated age and race effects. Implications are discussed.

“…The scientifi c literature highlights that family structure also infl uences behavior. Children who lived in mono-parental and dysfunctional family are more likely to fall into risky behavior during adolescence [35] than children who lived in an intact family. Data collected from 372 single-mother families showed that maternal responsiveness positively infl uences adolescent development as compared to "broken" homes and "defi ciency" of single-mother families [36].…”

Data on adolescents with risky behavior in consideration of their family structures To begin, an overview about various data collected on adolescents' risky behavior will be given. This will stress the signifi cance of parents' presence and infl uence or lack thereof. Data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance [4], report that 11.1% of youths has been in a physical fi ght in school, and 5.6% has carried a weapon at least once in the past month and that one of the signifi cant risk factors in their behaviors is family disruption. Analysing adolescents' focus-group data regarding their perceptions of violence and their coping strategies in managing confl ict, emerged that they were aggressive mostly to protect family. Participants also used terms of endearment and possession to identify family membership, for instance, the term "my princess" referring to a cousin. They described their communities and lives as lacking in supports and safety, affi rming that the use of violence is a strategy to survive. The adults in their lives were perceived as unable to protect and
