Summary/Abstract: Spirituality is revealed through the realization of spiritual values in behavior. The research reveals that teenagers usually are loyal, compassionate, respectful, and having a good sense of humor. However, the empirical manifestations of honesty, sensitivity, dignity, admiration, etc. are indicated more rarely. Therefore, even the most stabilized actions disclose only their fragmentary nature. Most rarely teenagers embody altruism, sanctity and sensitivity to beauty. The classmates value their peers' behavior similarly, but there appears even a bigger dichotomy: more teenagers, who embody spiritual values, are noted, and the number of those who do not embody these values is even bigger. Consequently, an unfavorable, fragmentary space is formed for the internalization of spiritual values.
