I added for too much time 10 pounds in the squat?
My height is 1,65 m, 18 years old and my weight is floating around 68~69 kg. I've been doing the program for 1 month and 1 week.
My actual squat is 80 kg total and my deadlift is 87 kg, is my squat too close to my deadlift?

You should probably have switched to five pound jumps in the squat sooner than 5 weeks into the program. Unless you started with the empty bar, in which case you need to read the book and do the actual program, not the knock-off internet version you found somewhere.
Don't worry about your squat and DL ratio. It's not abnormal now, and to any extent that it is "Off", it'll even out over time with training. I'd be much more concerned about your form.

Actually I'll finish the book very soon, but at the time when I started the program hadn't read it yet, so I was stucked to the instructions of SS site . Would you counsel me to regress a little the weight in the squat?

One thing I forgot to say is before starting the SS program, I was doing 5/3/1 for around 3~4 months.
I recorded 2 angles in the squat (80 kg) :
1º - YouTube
2º - YouTube
My Deadlift (84 kg) :

All the videos show up as "unavailable" - change them to Unlisted rather than Private.

See if you can watch now.

Your squat is not a low bar squat. Are you sure you are close to finishing the book? Watch this video and compare with your form.

P.S. Stop standing on plates and get lifting shoes.

Yes, I already finished the book and I don't do low bar squat because I don't like it and feel more confortable to do HB. I'll get a weightlifter shoes soon as possible, because here in brazil they're very expensive (R$1100), so I'm waiting for a friend of my brother to bring one from USA. I just want to know if my form is okay and if I should continue using this weight and progressing from there.

You are a bit loose. Stay controlled going into the bottom.
