Product Description
Current events. Politics. Teens must be controlled. That's the prevailing picture of youth presented in the media and by government officials. In this whilwind tour of common myths, Mike Males shows the reader what teens are really like, and what they really need. Among the myths exposed: recent school shootings illustrated that today's youth are more violent than their parents' generation; today's youth are America's worst generation ever; teen alcohol and drug abuse are "epidemic" even as adult problems are decreasing; and many more. Mike Males, once expelled from the second grade, is now a doctoral candidate in social ecology at the University of California, Irvine. He serves on the California Wellness Foundation Adolescent Health Advisory Board, and has written extensively on youth and social issues.
