This article is part of an ongoing research about the adolescence in the 21st century and the particular characteristics of the youths in the city of El Alto - La Paz. The title in plural implies that there are diverse ways of living the adolescence, hence there is a plurality of adolescents, each one with its experience and particular story, searching, finding  possible exits, the same that are authorized from the subjective singularity of each one. To talk about adolescences implies to take into account the absence of a universal model of adolescent; the absence of reference adults who “honor their word”; to know that there is no psychic determinism in the “outcome” of an adolescent, nor is there an autonomous triumph on the will of power. Therefore the adolescents have to invent/create themselves, face the obstacles, as they live without a place for them in the society. They are invisible to the sight of adults and the community.

Keywords : Adolescences; Aymara youths; subjectivity and current times adolescentes.
