Why do teenagers behave the way they do? How is teenage culture affected by the broader society? In this sociological treatment based on fieldwork and interviews, Milner (no affiliation given) carefully examines the details of teen life, such as who goes out with whom, who wears what, and who is getting the designer socks beaten off them. He explains teen behavior as an outcome of how adults organize their schools and daily lives; he believes that in doing so adults create the status systems that seem to be all-important to both adults and teens. He also shows how creating consumers even before the crucial teenage years is an adult preoccupation, based on their greed or need to affirm their own status. His appendices include descriptions of his methodology and sample research materials. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
