Summary/Abstract: In this article it is argued that things present at interschool dormitories, may be used as an expression of power over youths, or may be used by the youths as an instrument of resistance. The presence of things in interschool dormitories’ regulations in Pomeranian Voivodeship and the context of using them in those documents was a source of information for us about the meanings and functions of things at interschool dormitories. However, in this article we try to look into interschool dormitories’ regulations from the point of view of youths, whose presence at the dormitories is involved in the structure of power and who use things to express their resistance to the rules which they do not understand or accept.
