Middle school students also exist in all types of small or large groups, some of these groups in the form of class, grade, league branch and other formal groups exist, some with interest groups, in the form of "little buddy" circle and so on. The formation of informal groups, meeting the needs of the middle school students’ growing diversity, but also has a profound impact on the students’ physical and mental development and learning life, and this influence can play a positive role, but also play a negative role in the middle school students’ informal groups, and to strengthen the education and guidance of informal groups, as far as possible, the negative impact of middle school students has important theoretical and practical significance.Middle school students’ informal groups’ deviant behavior refers to informal groups that violate the morality, the school rules and the laws, it has negative characteristics. Currently, the informal groups’ deviant behavior has from an individual, isolated educational phenomenon gradually developed into a widespread, serious social problem.
