The present review aims to rescue some central concepts of modernity and post-modernity, from them, analyze the condition of youth in these different contexts. Studies have shown a marked weakness in high school, both in terms of learning, as the high dropout and repetition rates. Among several aspects to be investigated, one of them refers to deeper studies about youth. Meet juvenile trajectory throughout history is fundamental to all educators and others involved with the educational process, taking into account that understanding of projects, desires, weaknesses and dreams of young people is needed to break stigmas and labels that negatively interfere with school life, in their entry into higher education and entering the labor market. The understanding of some epistemological assumptions of modernity and postmodernity can help us as a theoretical framework to broaden the understanding of juvenile trajectory.

Keywords : Youth; Youth Culture; Youth Condition; Modernity; Postmodernity.
