Publisher: Orange County Register, 2004ISSN: 1522-3213;.Subject(s): Parent and teenager | Parents -- Attitudes | Teenagers -- Attitudes | Teenagers in mass mediaDDC classification: 050 Summary: "We want to protect them, so we pressure Abercrombie & Fitch to shelve its racy catalog with the photographs of nude and seminude young people frolicking alongside text discussing the practicalities of group masturbation, orgies and oral sex. We want to control them, so we impose zero tolerance regarding what they can wear, say and do at school and we pass increasingly harsh laws to punish them. We fear them, even when statistics tell us they aren't nearly as bad as what we see in the news. 'We' are adults. 'They' are teens. How we view them dictates how we treat them. But is our view realistic?" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER) The author examines the reasons why adolescents are so harshly judged by adults when research shows that "teens are better off than their parents' generation of the 1970s."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
