The analysis shows how the identity and power are built by the discoursive representation presented in the statements of tow female directors speech. The hypothesis is based on how the teens make their identities from the familiar as well as economic and social conflict. The fist step of this work was done by questionaries and the second one by interviews, aiming to do a parallel between the collected answers to understand the people involved. The investigation is based on the Discourse Analysis (DA) and from Cultural Studies. The theoretic models used from the DA were from Pêcheux (1988, 1977) and Orlandi (2001); from Cultural Studies were used Hall (2000) and Silva (2000). The results got from the analysis of the statements revealed that the teens opt by this way of transgressional act because of the familiar, economic and social questions. The discourse of these questions appear as some factors that take them to practice these acts due to the familiar disctructured added to basic necessity of consumptim for example the lack of clothing, food and money to have fun that the young don't find in their "homes". Their identities are built because of family absence and as the transgressional acts have been practicing as consequence appears the regret that xeque mates their own identity. The representations of the teenagers show linguistic and culturally factors are marked by the familiar and social exclusion. The discourse of the female Directors show on the one side, the necessity of represent themselves as Institution of power, and on the other hand, by representing the "family" ("The UNEI family") that worries about the good behaviour of the adolescents in the Unit.
