The Road to Whatever: Middle-Class Culture and the Crisis of Adolescence Paperback - 2005

by Elliott Currie

From the Pulitzer Prize finalist comes a sharp and compassionate investigation of the root causes of the epidemic of drug abuse, violence, and despair among "mainstream" American teenagers.


First line

One clue to the sources of trouble among adolescents is that if you ask them why they did something dangerous or self-destructive-something that put them or others at risk-they rarely have a clear or specific answer.
