Gay, straight, bi***ual: how much does ***ual orientation matter to a teenager's mental health or sense of identity? In this down-to-earth book, filled with the voices of young people speaking for themselves, Ritch Savin-Williams argues that the standard image of gay youth presented by mental health researchers--as depressed, isolated, drug-dependent, even suicidal--may have been exaggerated even twenty years ago, and is far from accurate today. The New Gay Teenager gives us a refreshing and frequently controversial introduction to confident, competent, upbeat teenagers with same-*** desires, who worry more about the chemistry test or their curfew than they do about their ***uality. What does "gay" mean, when some adolescents who have had ***ual encounters with those of their own *** don't consider themselves gay, when some who consider themselves gay have had *** with the opposite ***, and when many have never had *** at all? What counts as "having ***," anyway? Teenagers (unlike social science researchers) are not especially interested in neatly categorizing their ***ual orientation. In fact, Savin-Williams learns, teenagers may think a lot about ***, but they don't think that ***uality is the most important thing about them. And adults, he advises, shouldn't think so either., Paperback, Ausgabe: 1, Label: Harvard University Press, Harvard University Press, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2006-11-30, Freigegeben: 2006-10-16, Studio: Harvard University Press, Verkaufsrang: 715026.
