Book Synopsis
Wild parties, late nights, and lots of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Many assume these are the things that define an American teenager's first year after high school. But the reality is quite different. This book reports that teenagers generally manage the responsibilities of everyday life immediately after graduation.

Trade Review
"This is an excellent book.... Tim Clydesdale's observations about stability and managing daily life tasks are fascinating and provide important contributions to our substantive understanding of this important piece of social life." - Christian Smith, author of Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers"
