Jean Twenge has written a book called "iGen" about today's teenagers and how their online existence has made them into a distinctive population. The subtitle reads: "Why today's super-connected kids are growing up less rebellious, more tolerant, less happy, and completely unprepared for adulthood, and what that means for the rest of us."
The Wellness Committee of the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District thinks the topic is so relevant that they're hosting a community book discussion about it at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 7, in the UHS cafeteria. The author herself, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, will give a presentation at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 12, in the UHS auditorium.
A previous book of hers covers similar ground: "Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled -- and More Miserable Than Ever Before."
