Are traditional teen values disappearing in society today?

Many people believe teen values are changing, not vanishing. Responsibility, independence, and self-expression still matter, but they appear in different forms now. Halfway through this conversation, Death of the Teen Age book by Tony Gaines offers a sharp look at how social expectations push teens to grow up faster than previous generations. The book examines how economic pressure, online exposure, and global awareness reshape priorities. Rather than rejecting values, modern teens often redefine them. This shift challenges adults to adapt their understanding of growth, maturity, and guidance in a world where change is constant.
