What do you think is special about being an adolescent?
Why is the concept of youth culture new?
The time between being a child and an adult is one of the most exciting periods of your life. You try to find out who you are and shape your identity. You may try out different styles, rebel against your parents or discover new interests.Youth culture refers to the lifestyle, values and norms shared by groups of adolescents. A certain youth culture can be considered more or less in opposition to norms and values in society. One example is the 1960s' hippie movement. The hippies did not want to get married and live like their parents had done – instead, they promoted cultural change, women's rights and free love.

While your parents become a little less important, your friends' and classmates' opinions are what count now. Many teenagers start experimenting with alcohol during this period, and some might even get into drugs and serious trouble.
