Reflection #1
You read The Teenage Mystique (Hine, 2000) , and it discussed a variety of topics regarding “mystique of teenagers” including:
– A pregnant giving birth in the bathroom during prom, and then discarding her newborn in the trash
– A developmental “mismatch” that exists for teenagers; The teenager as an “unfinished” person
– Reasons why teens do dump things. Example: smoking cigarettes
– Starting facts about the conditions that today’s teenagers face
Considering Hine’s discussion, write 2 paragraphs , at least 500 words total, (5-8 sentences each paragraph). You will need to add a conclusion paragraph to this writing.
Paragraph 1: To you , what is “the teenage mystique?”
Paragraph 2: How do the adolescents, from the videos you watched ( Ethan Couch & Andrew Pendergast ) each represent a different type of “mystique?”
Paragraph 3: Conclusion
NOTICE:
Cite from the reading or videos, provide supplemental examples, answer and demonstrate in-depth thinking
