    About this ebook

    Typical adolescent behaviour is described as being rebellious, careless, and out of control. Some psychologists like G. Stanley Hall reasoned this behaviour with respect to nature or biological changes in the body. And others like Albert Bandura rejected this idea of “blaming biology.”

    It is clear that there is this nature versus nurture debate aimed to explain this rowdy adolescent behaviour.

    This award-winning essay discusses the social foundations of “teenage” history, and how it was different to be a “teenager” across history. Moreover, this in-depth study will help explain current social phenomena from legal emancipation from a parent to the birth of the “tweener” or pre-teen subcultural notion.

    Nasser Chihadih

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, and dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. We all love to converse in a coffee shop along with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. Accordingly, the stories are the kind to be told in a conversation. You wouldn't tell a story to your friends in 5 hours to get a point across; you want it to be short and intensely satisfying. The short stories to be presented to you will be exactly that, like the ghost stories told around a camp fire; however, they'll be stories injected with love, family, psychology, sex, and morality. They challenge basic questions of the human experience. So, why not share them?
