"The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their
buildings and, at various ages, had tried out most of the local
youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of
brothers and mates, was in the Scouts, but they got ejected. Later,
at thirteen, he joined a boys' club for its boxing and football,
and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly
dropped out." Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954,
the answer forms the substance of Some Young People, the report of
an inquiry into adolescents' reactions to their local youth groups.
Besides answering the question "Who joins what?" (and two thirds of
these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth
organisation) the book describes some of the hopes, pleasures and
difficulties of such people as Frances, the chocolate packer, who
has ambition to marry before long; and John, the carpenter's
apprentice, whose passions are autocycling, pigeons and pigs. It
also throws light on problems such as those presented by gangs; and
suggests the importance of "my friends," the closely-knit set who
mean so much to the adolescent.
