Abstract: 

The Nigerian society today is plagued with a lot of adolescents’ anti-social behaviours which result from their culture. This paper therefore attempts to examine adolescents’ culture in material and non-material forms and the anti-social behaviours that characterize each form. It further looks into the factors responsible for adolescents’ culture and ways of identifying the anti-social behaviours that are manifested. The paper at last concludes and recommends different measures for helping adolescents to develop in the right direction that will map them out from maladjusted behaviours. Among the recommendations are modification of the school curriculum to include vocational subjects for skills acquisition, good parenting styles, counseling services and others.
