Written for parents, teachers, and others who live or work with teenagers, this science-based guide describes how you can become a confident 'decision mentor.' Learn to support young people in making good decisions for themselves.

Each chapter provides common-sense advice on when and how to talk with teenagers as they weigh up the often-conflicting values, emotions, and trade-offs affecting their choices.

Quel sens donner à sa vie ? C’est la question que se posent les adolescents et les jeunes adultes. Dans le contexte actuel de crise écologique et économique, de post-pandémie et de retour de la guerre en Europe, les réponses qu’ils reçoivent méritent d’être décrites et analysées. Peut-on continuer à perdre sa vie à la gagner dans un monde dominé par une petite élite blanche, occidentale et arrogante, à l’origine de 80 % de la pollution atmosphérique, et propriétaire de 80 % des richesses de la planète ? Les jeunes du Monde migrent vers l’Occident présenté comme un paradis terrestre par les réseaux sociaux. Peut-on leur proposer une autre voie que la loi darwinienne du plus fort, du plus riche, du plus informé, la loi du divin marché ? La tentation sacrificielle, propre à la jeunesse en quête d’identité, a été cultivée par certains recruteurs lui promettant un martyre rédempteur. Afin de présenter aux jeunes un autre sens à suivre, ce livre se risque à transmettre un récit revisité des valeurs évangéliques à partir des expériences sentimentales, amicales et amoureuses vécues par le plus grand nombre. La rencontre de l’autre, non-algorithmée, peut leur faire découvrir que l’amour est plus fort que la mort.

In recent years, newspaper articles, television specials, and other media events have focused on the numerous hard decisions faced by today's youth, often pointing to teen pregnancy, drug use, and delinquency as evidence of faulty judgment. Over the past 10 years, many groups - including parents, educators, policymakers, and researchers - have become concerned about the decision-making abilities of children and adolescents, asking why they make risky choices, how they can be taught to be better decision makers, and what types of age-related changes occur in decision making.

Every day young people engage in risky behaviors that affect not only their immediate well-being but their long-term health and safety. These well-honed essays apply diverse economic analyses to a wide range of unsafe activities, including teen drinking and driving, smoking, drug use, unprotected sex, and criminal activity. Economic principles are further applied to mental health and performance issues such as teenage depression, suicide, nutritional disorders, and high school dropout rates. Together, the essays yield notable findings: price and regulatory incentives are critical determinants of high-risk behavior, suggesting that youths do apply some sort of cost/benefit calculation when making decisions; the macroeconomic environment in which those decisions are made matters greatly; and youths who pursue high-risk behaviors are significantly more likely to engage in similar behaviors as adults. This important volume provides both a key data source for public policy makers and a clear affirmation of the usefulness of economic analysis to our understanding of risky behavior.
