Abstract The increasing amount of violence and crime rate among teenagers has raised concern about this matter. Studies show relation between school difficulties and anti-social behavior and if the young with academic difficulties are not correctly treated they tend to dropout from school and hang around on the streets. Just like those with anti-social tendency they will easily be excluded from the education institution. This way, the school do not attend the requirements in which it was created, which is to develop cognitive abilities in the educational institution so the young could socialize with the community. The maintenance of pedagogic strategies aimed towards a specific kind of student does not allow that the different cognitive abilities be recognize in other individuous, many times excluding them from school. Therefore, the failure of the system and school drop out will lead to a social failure. It is the school responsibility to recognize the risk of anti-social behavior of the young, using pedagogic strategies that will lead them to develop positive abilities and therefore increase their selfsteem, lower school dropouts and consequently take them away from the streets.
