Description

The Age of Impulse

So much information. So many platforms. So fast the exchanges. We live in a time as miraculous as that which gave us the printing press. Only exponentially different in remarkable ways. Social media is becoming the most important source and medium for connecting people and supporting the exchange of ideas and culture. Everyone's carrying a smart phone. Everyone's checking for new information, surfing the web and peering into the virtual world at their fingertips. Watch a group of teens at the mall, and it's not uncommon to see them texting each other from just feet away. What great fun! Want to connect? Click. Instant joy. It's a blur.

Adolescence: Emerging Adults at Risk

People Magazine, recently commented on Nancy Jo Sales powerful book "American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers". Ms Sales based her book on interviews with hundreds of teens from 13 to 19 nationwide. Seeking to illuminate how the internet is shaping and affecting the social and sexual lives of teens, this exploration of the hypersexualized, social-media-ruled world girls grow up in today is eye-opening and sobering." —People There are new norms and rules and codes of behavior, some deeply disturbing.

In other words, it's not all good. You'd have to be a Luddite to ignore the great benefit of such a connected teen realm, but there are problems and major cultural forces at work that require our attention. As professional clinicians working with families and teens, it's critical that we be informed and up-to-date.
