Why do teenagers act as they do?
What we experience during adolescence shapes us for life, but psychologist Lucy Foulkes shows that too often we fear, dismiss or even try to prevent aspects of it that are crucial to our development. Drawing on decades of psychological research, and including profoundly moving interviews, Coming of Age gets beneath the recent myths and age-old stereotypes of adolescence to reveal the real reasons why teens behave the way they do.
Above all, Foulkes shows that adolescents have an extraordinary capacity for resilience, empathy and mutual support, and that even the most challenging encounters are part of an essential process of self-discovery.
'Excellent and insightful ... Foulkes is steeped in knowledge about, as well as respect for, teenage life' OBSERVER
'A wonderful and deeply moving book' MARK HADDON
'Shows how today's adolescents can be helped to flourish in life' DR GAVIN FRANCIS
