Book Description
What's going on with teens today? What are their experiences with violence, sex, and drugs? What do they value, enjoy, and worry about? How do they feel about family life, spirituality, cyberspace, and Canada? How do they compare with teens of the past, and with their parents and grandparents today? And how are they going to turn out? Reginald Bibby addresses these important questions by drawing on his unparalleled nationwide surveys of young people and adults spanning the years 1975 through 2000. Today's teenagers, Gen Xers, Boomers, and Boomers' parents all speak out in this colourful landmark look at teens today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
