Abstract

Assertiveness is one of the capabilities of human beings to express their beliefs and their rights, using a behavior devoid of aggressiveness and emphasizing the expression of their feelings, positive and negative opinion in any social situation. In several studies it has been determined that one of the main social skills that can prevent alcohol and other substances is assertiveness, poor ability to exchange ideas, thoughts and even their emotions, difficult problem solving and thus causes difficulties in defense of one's rights to others. Of course we take into account that alcohol is multicausal where personal, family and social variables, education is encompassed, all in relation to the chronicity of alcohol and tobacco use is directly linked with the absence of assertive behavior in the teenager because largely assertive behavior type are depleted either by lack of both family practice and personal or remote to negligent behavior regarding conflict resolution. The approach under which this work was done was quantitatively and qualitatively, in the first instance with the form of documentary bibliographical research and secondly with the mode field research, with the objective of correlating the variables studied.
