In this book, Stigma, Storytelling, and Adolescent Parents'
Children: Nothing to Prove, Eryn N. Bostwick and Amy Janan Johnson
utilize previous research to take an in-depth look at how
experiences with stigmatization and family storytelling influence
how those born to teenage parents view themselves. Bostwick and
Johnson contend that historical stigmatization of adolescent
parenthood manifests in a sense of self-blame and guilt for their
parents' stigmatized status. Additionally, the authors assert that
family experiences, like stigmatization and economic struggle,
become filters that negatively influence how their children
interpret stories their family members tell them. Through exploring
these stigmas, the authors explore how they can rid themselves of
this guilt and break free of their self-imposed burden. Scholars of
communication, sociology, and psychology will find this book of
particular interest.
