The Case Against Adolescence: Rediscovering the… by Robert Epstein

Epstein makes great points and must be given credit for speaking against the current paradigm. I found his solutions a bit weak but his analysis spot on.

The Case Against Adolescence: Rediscovering the… by Robert Epstein

All parents, and lawmakers, and teachers, and above all teens, should read this book. Taking sources from anthropology, history, sociology, medicine, current events and more, it makes a VERY convincing argument that most teens are to all intents adults and would act like adults if given the chance.
