National Indie Excellence Awards, first prize in the Parenting and
Family category Arguing that adolescence is an unnecessary period
of life that people are better off without, this groundbreaking
study shows that teen confusion and hardships are caused by
outmoded systems that were designed to destroy the continuum
between childhood and adulthood. Documenting how teens are isolated
from adults and are forced to look to their media-dominated peers
for knowledge, this discussion contends that by infantilizing young
people, society does irrevocable harm to their development and
well-being. Instead, parents, teachers, employers, and others must
rediscover the adults in young people by giving them authority and
responsibility as soon as they exhibit readiness. Teens are highly
capable--in some ways more than adults--and this landmark
discussion offers paths for reaching and enhancing the competence
in America's youth.
