America's Teenagers-Myths and Realities is an important resource for advocates of teenagers as the authors provide strong, empirical support for their argument and examine a wide range of relevant topic areas....useful as a resource for youth advocacy and for teaching as it makes a strong, comprehensive and empirical argument on behalf of youth as a maligned and neglected population." Teacher College Record "This book is a one-volume encyclopedia of YA life, research, and concerns with the added value of authors who care about youth... where the media is concerned." Voice of Youth Advocates "This book is both a deeply scholarly work and a passionate statement of advocacy for social change. One of the strengths of the book is that it is a step in giving American teenagers a real voice, and perhaps giving them a place in American society again, one that has been missing since adolescence stretched into young adulthood because of structural changes in American society." Education Review "General guidelines are provided for teachers, parents, policymakers, and citizens to facilitate responding to youth in meaningful, proactive ways to improve the quality of life for teenagers and the broader society."
