Chap Clark shares his observations from submerging himself in the youth culture and talking to youth. To sum it up the book tells how society is forcing youth to create their own culture or "the world beneath" because culture separates them from the adults abandoning then and forcing them to create their own rules for survival. The result is a lack of trust between the youth and the adults because adults do not seem to take the time to really care about the youth.
There are chapters dealing with different areas in "the world beneath" including peers, school, family, sports, sex, busyness and stress, ethics and morality, and the party scene. Each chapter Chap Clark shares about what students told him and what he was able to observe during his research.
Good book to enlighten adults about youth culture
