Summary: For anyone studying adolescents, stay clear of this book
Comment: This book is grossly misinformed. Wooden makes no attempt to study his subject. Rather, he regurgitates things read from letters and pamphlets. He describes one stereotype after another and makes very broad generalizations that would get a professional in trouble. In particular, his chapters on Satanism and the Punk movement sound just like a Donahue episode. He never even speaks to a punk. Instead, in his chapter on Punks, he reads letters from parents and others who have been affected in some way by Punk, obviously biasing the research. That is only one chapter I could pick apart. In conclusion, Wooden is very out of touch with the real issues being presented. I am very angry I bought this book and am surprised he was even published. The fact that he is an award-winning author makes me want to become a writer.

Summary: A LOOK INSIDE OUR YOUTH
Comment: THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE. ANYONE WHO WORKS, OR IS INTERESTED INWORKING WITH YOUTH SHOULD READ IT. WHEN I STARTED READING IT I COULD NOT STOP. INETERSTING. HOWEVER, IT IS SOMEWHAT BASIC AND COMMUN KNOLEDGE. WITH NO TRULY INSIGHT INTO THE REASONING.
Rating: 5
Summary: Must read for anyone working with adolescents
Comment: I wanted to say that I am glad that I took this class with Dr. Wooden, the author, he gives a lot of insights into the world of the adolescents. He gives definitions that are clearly described so that you know the difference between a delinquent and one that does something because it is the "in thing" to do. Gives a great view and intensive study on the behavior of teenagers today compared to the past decade.
