Description
Lucy Foulkes' Coming of Age offers a fresh perspective on adolescence, challenging common myths and stereotypes to reveal the real reasons behind teenage behaviour.
By drawing on decades of psychological research, Foulkes shows that apparent recklessness is often calculated, and that teenagers are socially conservative as much as rebellious. She also highlights the importance of self-consciousness and sensation-seeking in adolescent development.
This insightful book reveals the resilience, empathy and mutual support that adolescents possess, and how even challenging experiences can be part of an essential process of self-discovery.
