A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
Hi every one. This book came with the recommendation of my daughter and her friends. Once my daughter had read it there was no going back... I was made to read it. I am glad I did. This book is a fantastic inspiration for teens everywhere. When did the invention of the word teenager even enter our culture? Really I had given this little thought. I grew up in the age of teens. It has always been in our culture... well as far as I was aware. Take a step back in time and you will find that children went from children to the adult world. Working to keep the farm and family going. Helping the father and mother as they transitioned very quickly to adults. Not today. We have given teenagers a stage to be, anything. Often that means parties, alcohol and many more options that effect the brain, development, emotions and our future culture.
Alex and Brett Harris are young adults that are changing this movement. They believe that teens have the power to do great things. Extremely huge, awesome things. The movement they have encouraged is inspiring some dynamic teens to step out and change their environment.
They have a website that has become one of the biggest websites for teens. http://therebelution.com/
I never gave this much thought until reading this book. I do think we give teens mixed ideas about being teens. We expect them to study and go to university/college more than ever before, but at the same time we encourage them to be idiots with their time. Really... think about it. They can do hard things and they can do great things with their time. They are awesome young adults, just give them a chance.
I highly recommend all teens and parents read this book.
