Written in 1990's disturbing report of alienation of teens from family & school. Even though most of the subjects successfully started college it is scarey to think how much more estranged children must be today.

A sad commentary on how teens in America are functioning in a world with little adult guidance. Thankfully this did not ring true for me, but I know it does for so many. I gave it to the principal at our local high school. She concurred and found it helpful to read the author's perspective.
