Wild parties, late nights, and lots of sex, drugs, and alcohol.
Many assume these are the things that define an American teenager's
first year after high school. But the reality is really quite
different. As Tim Clydesdale reports in "The First Year Out,"
teenagers generally manage the increased responsibilities of
everyday life immediately after graduation effectively. But, like
many good things, this comes at a cost.
Tracking the daily lives of fifty young people making the
transition to life after high school, Clydesdale reveals how teens
settle into manageable patterns of substance use and sexual
activity; how they meet the requirements of postsecondary
education; and how they cope with new financial expectations. Most
of them, we learn, handle the changes well because they make a
priority of everyday life. But Clydesdale finds that teens also
stow away their identities--religious, racial, political, or
otherwise--during this period in exchange for acceptance into
mainstream culture. This results in the absence of a long-range
purpose for their lives and imposes limits on their desire to
understand national politics and global issues, sometimes even
affecting the ability to reconstruct their lives when tragedies
occur.
"The First Year Out" is an invaluable resource for anyone caught up
in the storm and stress of working with these young adults.
