As a result, it was revealed that in coping difficulties physically challenged adolescents are oriented to search social assistance at the lack of proneness to problem analysis that makes threat of uncritical acceptance and passive consumption of the provided help by adolescent. Highly assessing social resources of school adolescents point out low opportunity to get help in choosing their own decision, in attention to their asks, insufficient capability in showing initiative, activity.
