The youth problems is a phenomenon related to the complexity of contemporary society, transformations in the educational field, the dynamics of youth, the processes of interaction between school, family and socio-cultural context. The competition of these factors may have an adverse effect on the quality of the processes of teaching and learning and, therefore, the achievement of success in education and training.
The phenomenon of discomfort includes the problem of early school leaving, both as abandonment and as a percentage of students with educational outcomes, which amounted to a minimum.
If the dispersion, as an abandonment of the course by a number still much too high for young people, a phenomenon that is measurable in terms of students repeat and delay, there is another aspect more difficult to assess quantitatively linked to recoveries missed and forms of re-orientation scale, it is an area of the dispersion still submerged that requires continuous readings and specific tools and up to date detection.

The investigation of the discomfort of education, conducted through field observation, adopted the method of the case study, whose main feature is the boundary of the object of study: the individual case is seen as an integrated system of relationships, the specifically, the single school was observed in the internal dynamics and relationships with the local reality.
This volume presents the work done in the exploratory phase of the investigation: the purpose of the research, hypothesis, methodology, procedures, tools, findings, conclusions and prospects.
