"The Myth of Adolescence"
- Elephant example of "shackles around the mind"
- The word "teenager" has been around only since 1941 - less than 70 years!
- Adolescence as it is viewed today has been around for about 100 years. Basically labor laws took teens out of the workforce and mandatory schooling was instituted. A whole portion of the population was taken from the role of producer to consumer. Expectations were lowered - both virtually non-existent.
