The article scans some of the features of the prevailing discourses nowadays in
hypermodernity -science and capitalism- and the consequences they have for that turning point, that moment of passage between childhood and adulthood, that is adolescence. Modern science with its universal laws rejects the singularity of the subject and capitalism rejects castration disallowing desire. Thus, the road of unbridled excess and disorientation is opened.
Therefore, that decission-making moment that is adolescence, both in what refers to the sexuated position and the vocation that will give a name in the social sphere, may be troubled. Regarding these choices that lead to assuming responsibility over one\'s life, suicide arises as an extreme form of rejection of that responsibility as it appears in the play Spring Awakening by Wedekind, commented by Lacan in The spring awakening.
Our work is then about giving place to what is said without intervening from any more or less cruel universal that evokes the must be so that the question about life, without lending the body to death, takes place and separation be possible.
