In this book Mitchell investigates how "the natural limitations of youth" shape not only the day-to-day life of teens, but the entire culture. This book analyzes how adolescents are prone toward critical decision-making errors; how they are vulnerable to exploitation in their peer groups, in their friendships, and in their love relationships; how they are inclined to confuse fact with fable; how they are shaped by narcissistic idelogy and ego-enhancing belief systems; how they are inclined toward poor partner selection in their romantic involvements; and, finally, why they need dignified adult mentors if they are to achieve a dignified identity of their own.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“[T]he book is a useful starting point for considering the never-ending problem of how dissenting scholars can be heard by those whose opinions they challenge. For that reason, this book may be considered for acquisition.”–College & Research Libraries
“Gordon Moran has done scholarship a great service by reminding researchers in all fields of the need to renew their commitment to truth and integrity.”–The Spectator
“The topic is an extremely important one and is of interest to everyone concerned about the reliability and legitimacy of formal scholarly communication....Moran addresses many thorny issues that should be on the minds of all who desire a free flow of information and, more importantly, the unfettered growth of knowledge.”–Libraries and Culture
“[H]ighly recommended for all academic libraries, academics, librarians, publishers, reviewers and editors.”–The Australian Library Journal
