The Road to Whatever
Author: Elliott Currie
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466833947
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
From the Pulitzer Prize finalist, a sharp and compassionate investigation of the root causes of the epidemic of drug abuse, violence, and despair among "mainstream" American teenagers In the past few years, it has become painfully clear that all is not well with the children of middle-class America. Beyond the shootings at Columbine, hardly a day goes by without stories of drug use, binge drinking, fatal accidents, and senseless suicides among middle-class adolescents. But the "why" of these tragedies has eluded us. In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed sociologist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Elliott Currie rejects such predictable answers as TV violence, permissiveness, and inherent evil. Instead, drawing on years of interviews, he links this crisis to a pervasive "culture of exclusion" that has left young people facing an ever more unforgiving world. Currie describes a society in which severe punishment and "zero tolerance" of adolescent misbehavior have become the norm, where "tough love" and medications have replaced engagement and guidance. Broadening his inquiry, he dissects the changes in middle-class life that have enforced newly rigid divides between winners and losers and imposed an extraordinarily harsh culture-and not just on kids. Vivid, compelling, and deeply empathetic, The Road to Whatever is a profound investigation of what has gone wrong for so many American teenagers and a stark indictment of a society that has lost the will-or the capacity-to care.

For the first time in their lives Mike and Ron thought about leaving the old run down foster home.

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"Don’t think for one minute that this book is full of heavy, tearful drama. The author approaches Millie’s dilemma with humor, including some moments of madcap hilarity. This book is an inspirational tribute to the brave women who have taken control of their own destiny by taking a preemptive strike against cancer." -InD'tale Magazine From a very young age, Millie Dwyer knew that her life would be short. After all, cancer claimed both her grandmother and mother. Surely she too would follow in those footsteps, her genetic destiny giving her the ultimate middle finger. Turns out the joke was on her. Sure Millie has the same genetic mutation that makes the Big C almost a given, but now there are scientific advances to detect it—and surgeries to prevent it. Now Millie has to figure out a plan for life she never planned on having. It also probably means she should stop dating losers who dump her the minute she gets out of surgery. True story. Navigating the dating scene before had been treacherous, but at least nothing was riding on it back then. Now, for the first time in her life, Milie is actually in the market for a life partner, but who would want a 29-year-old with a body riddled with scars? Millie has a lot to learn before she can find love, and it starts with loving herself.
