The media's presentation suggests that American teenage culture
today is the most violent, sexual, and amoral youth culture in
history. In this book, Nichols and Good deconstruct the negative
images held by large numbers of adults. Recognizing that many
teenagers are left by adults to socialize themselves and the
consequences of this "careless indifference," the authors' goal is
to influence a more positive view leading to stronger social
policies and better services, resources, and programs to meet the
needs of America's youth.
Unique features of "America's Teenagers--Myths and Realities: Media
Images, Schooling, and the Social Costs of Careless Indifference"
include:
*powerful analytic lenses used to revisit typical depictions of
youth;
*a wealth of information brought to bear on understanding
teenagers' behavior; and
*consideration of a broad range of adolescent behaviors across
critical socializing settings.
The book begins with a discussion of the continuing myth of
adolescence--how and why youth are devalued, and an overview of
current beliefs about youth drawn from two 1990s Public Agenda
Polls. This is followed by chapters on youth and the media, and the
pressures that youth face in various dimensions of their lives.
Topics include youth violence; the sex lives of teenagers; tobacco,
alcohol, drugs, and teens; healthy living and decision making;
working teens; and youth and education. The concluding chapter
pulls together themes generated throughout the book and provides
examples of policies that would underscore the value of viewing
youth as a social investment. General guidelines are provided for
teachers, parents, policymakers, and citizens to
facilitateresponding to youth in meaningful, proactive ways that
improve the quality of life for teenagers and the broader society.
