The Rise And Fall Of The American Teenager (150 - 202)

Summary
      As I said in previously, back then high school was not seen as important and that most teenagers went to work. Mostly if the teenagers did go to school it would be the woman because they needed school to become teachers in the future. And the boys would usually stay with their fathers to go work for the rest of the family. High school and college were not exactly order the way it is today. Later on when the teenagers did have to go to school the classes that the girls had to take were different from what the boys had to take. Later on in the next chapter that is called " Dancing Daughters" talks more so how more so moderate teens are too sexual active and how they get some of these influences from the movies that come out that talk about sex and relationships with others.  This all comes back to these children growing up way to fast and it exactly the reason as to why they are they way they are.

Quote: "Yet, thinking about the young almost as a separate species segregates adolescents and sets them up as a target for social engineering " ( Hine 176)

Reaction: When Hine says this I could understand that teenagers are different from younger kids and adults but the fact that there is some type of separation between the age difference to me I find crazy. Yet, I understand one is more likely to be around their on age groups. However, the truth is that sadly teeangers are also judged just because they are a teenager. They are automatically are suppose to be up to something mad, its as if parents and other adults were not teenagers once.  Or as if they already expect them to make their younger "stupid" mistakes because of their age.
