Behind Closed Doors: About Teens, by Teens, for Teens

What Teens think today ... What Teens are doing today ... Are they lazy, unreliable, non-creative? Are they slackers? Not so, according to Behind Closed Doors: About Teens, By Teens, For Teens. The results of a study conducted by Vivian Reeves in her 17th year will surprise you a study that consisted of 112 multiple and open-ended questions and in-depth interviews. Today s Teens revealed that: -less than 40 percent of Teens are having sex ... -the drug of choice is hard liquor ...Teens are stressed, stuck and stricken with all sorts of fears ... -Teens want to maintain a good relationship with their parents ... Participants came from multiple states within the United States, as well as countries like Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Mexico, Switzerland, Canada, Finland, Romania and the Bahamas. Vivian Reeves, a 17-year-old high school senior started this project in her junior year. Her goal was to clarify who they are and what the believe in, not only for older generations, but for teens own individual understandings of one another so that they, and generations after, never have to feel as though they are struggling alone. The author strived to redefine the term -teen-; to the public's ever-judging eyes. She urges the reader to keep an open mind and let go of many inhibitions regarding teens roles in our world today. No topic was left unturned--yes, there is a chapter on sex, drugs and the usual rock and roll. But there is eye-opening, sometimes painful dialogue of rejection, fear and the unknown. There's a special glossary enclosed to the current teen jargon;what parents should be looking out for. Signs of trouble. A teen, herself, Vivian Reeves is a new voice that echoes millions. Pay attention.
