Exploring the evolving behavior of teenagers, this book delves into the impact of consumer culture on youth relationships and self-perception. Drawing from extensive fieldwork and interviews, the author highlights a significant shift from consumerism to valuing information and cultural capital, particularly in the context of social media and standardized testing. This second edition builds on original findings with fresh insights from a new year of research, providing a comprehensive view of how societal changes influence adolescent identity and interactions.
