Produktbeschreibung

My Son Is an Alien is an entertaining, informative look at cultural influences on today's youth. Based on interviews with hundreds of teens, pre-teens, and parents, the book sketches out facets of the adolescent's cultural portrait, from body image and slang to peer pressure and drugs. Filled with facts, commentaries, anecdotes, and resources, it also includes numerous features on topics like teen expressions and the least family-friendly TV shows. Danesi proposes strategies for changing the prevailing mindset on youth, including reconnecting adolescents to adult society.
