This paper analyses special aspects of social integration of teenagers coming from different ethnic groups. The following social integration indicators have been defined during the research: level of resilience (involvement, control, risk acceptance), degree of social and psychological adaptation of a person. As a result of the comparative study of different ethnic groups of teenagers the author comes to the conclusion that special aspects of social integration are determined by ethnic features which are necessary to be taken into account while preventing development problems of modern teenagers and decreasing the number of conflicts between different ethnic groups living closely together, as well as while concerting ethnic, social and cultural special aspects of modern multipolar world development.
