Alcohol abuse is a widespread problem in American families. Families of all social, economic and educational subgroups suffer from alcohol abuse by parents. Because of the widespread problems of alcoholism, families with deaf children are also victims of alcohol abuse. Even though hearing children suffer greatly from parental abuse of alcohol, they are not as ill-equipped as deaf teenagers to deal with the problem. By in large, there are three reasons why deaf children are less able than hearing children to deal with the familiy problems created by parental alcohol abuse.

Teenagers and Teenpics tells the story of two signature developments in the 1950s: the decline of the classical Hollywood cinema and the emergence of that strange new creature, the American teenager. Hollywood's discovery of the teenage moviegoer initiated a progressive "juvenilization" of film content that is today the operative reality of the American motion picture industry.The juvenilization of the American movies is best revealed in the development of the 1950s "teenpic," a picture targeted at teenagers even to the exclusion of their elders. In a wry and readable style, Doherty defines an

The author explores human vitality as an indicator of people's ability to develop, adapt and maintain stability/balance in challenging life situations. The concept of vitality embraces two aspects: susceptibility to negative circumstances and subsequent successful adaptation or positive outcome. The core factors of human vitality are considered personal traits, social competence, and available external support. The paper reflects the procedure of adapting and testing the psychometric indicators of the questionnaire aimed at assessing the vitality factors. It describes the findings of the study focused on the development of vitality in teenagers and adolescents. It is assumed that vitality differs across age groups at different stages of ontogeny, and personality traits and social relations are either protective or risk factors. It is shown that vitality differs across different age groups of young people, including by gender. The author discusses the personal development of junior schoolchildren with different levels of vitality. The group of viable younger adolescents expresses the "high IQ" factor (V), and "low-vitality" adolescents feel a high level of anxiety (factor O).

Successful techniques for careful mainstreaming of accoustically handicapped teenagers are presented. Many of the factors can be useful in mainstreaming learning disability, mentally retarded, and emotionally disturbed students. The following questions are discussed: (a) What team effort is required? (b) How are future mainstreamed students and their teachers prepared? (c) In what ways are teenagers evaluated to forecast success? (d) How does mainstreaming affect students' social, educational, and/or work life?

The purpose of this article is to examine the socially constructed nature of the story telling process by drawing on an example from one locality in Northern Ireland. The research draws on focus group interviews with teenagers from polarized working-class communities in North Belfast. The overall locality is divided into Catholic and Protestant areas and a recurring feature of the data is the tendency for each group to define themselves in opposition to the other. Throughout the focus group interviews, the teenagers produced four types of stories and the article assesses the relevance of each type to producing, reproducing or challenging sectarian divisions. The first three groups of stories, First-hand stories, Second-hand stories and Collective stories reflect individual and group attitudes to distinctions between 'us' and 'them' while the fourth, Alternative stories, questions the homogeneity of the in-group and the immutability of these divisions. These stories verbalize the internal recollections of both individuals and groups and rely on real and imagined memories. The thrust of the article illustrates the ways in which sectarian identities are constructed, shaped and diluted through these narrative encounters.

SummaryThis article discusses the conflicting positions on the effectiveness of sex education and availability of birth control facilities in lowering the rate of teenage pregnancies. It provides evidence of a drop in the rate of teenage births only one-third of which can be accounted for by the rise in abortions. It concludes that teenagers must have been using birth control more effectively than in the early 1970s.

It is argued that the focus on teenage violence has resulted in an understanding that teenagers are losing their values when, in reality, it is societal values that are changing. The insights on cultural disorder offered by anthropologists Margaret Mead (1955) & J. Meyrowitz (eg, 1992) are discussed. Mead views teenagers as representatives of an emerging culture that both breaks with, & is linked to, patterns of parental behavior. She emphasizes the need to study the ethnosocial significance of the transformation. Meyrowitz posits that adults traditionally created their own intellectual & communicative spaces; however, the separation of worlds dissolved in the latter 20th century, largely because of TV, which permits children to view the adult world. He argues that TV does not of itself change society but, rather, catalyzes preexisting movements & corrupts parental control & the hierarchical learning process. The manipulation of the generational rupture by the market & the implications of the paradigm shift are discussed. J. Lindroth
