Abstract

What does society expect of its 15-to 18-year-olds as they face a major life-span transition period, moving from adolescence to adulthood? Are the sets of expectations clearly defined by the culture? Are the expectations of the society congruent with the aspirations of youth making the transition? What is the role of the school in inducting youth into adult society and in providing them with the strategies for successful transition?
