Throughout this period young men and women engaged in their first acts of sexual intercourse at increasingly younger ages. The impact of earlier s
10、exual experimentation was reinforced by the later age of marriage; thus, young men and women had more time available to acquire sexual experience with partners before entering upon a long-term monogamous relationship. In addition, the growing number of marriages resulting in divorce and the conseque
11、nt lessening of the stigma attached to divorce provided another opportunity for men and women (to a lesser degree) to engage in non-monogamous sexual activity.

13、e baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years. One of the unique features of Boomers was that they tended to think of themselves as a special generation, very different from those that had come before.

22、A M. HOLSON “Katie and her friends were sitting in the back seat talking to each other about some movie star; I think it was Orlando Bloom, recalls Mr. Hampton. “ I made some comment about him, but I got the typical teenager guttural sigh and Katie rolled her eyes at me as if to say, Oh Dad, you are
23、 so out of it . After that, the back-seat chattering stopped. When Mr. Hampton looked into his rearview mirror he saw his daughter sending a text message on her cellphone. “Katie, you shouldnt be texting all the time, Mr. Hampton recalls telling her. “Your friends are there. Its rude. “But, Dad, wer

Its a common scene these days, one playing out in cars, kitchens and
26、bedrooms across the country. The popularity of the cellphone along with the mobility and intimacy it affords will further exploit and accelerate these trends. “For kids it has become an identity-shaping and psyche-changing object, observes Sherry Turkle, a social psychologist at the Massachusetts In
27、stitute of Technology who has studied the social impact of mobile communications. The automobile ultimately shuttled in an era when teenagers could go on dates far from watchful parents.

32、 their own inventive, quirky and very private written language. That has given them the opportunity to essentially hide in plain sight.
