Fitting In, Standing Out: Navigating the Social Challenges of High School to Get an Education Illustrated Edition
by Robert Crosnoe (Author)
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
In American high schools, teenagers must navigate complex youth cultures that often prize being “real” while punishing difference. Adults may view such social turbulence as a timeless, ultimately harmless rite of passage, but changes in American society are intensifying this rite and allowing its effects to cascade into adulthood. Integrating national statistics with interviews and observations from a single school, this book explores this phenomenon. It makes the case that recent macro-level trends, such as economic restructuring and technological change, mean that the social dynamics of high school can disrupt educational trajectories after high school; it looks at teenagers who do not fit in socially at school – including many who are obese or gay – to illustrate this phenomenon; and it crafts recommendations for parents, teachers, and policymakers about how to protect teenagers in trouble. The end result is a story of adolescence that hits home with anyone who remembers high school.

Review
“….With bullying reaching a crisis level in U.S. schools, University of Texas at Austin sociologist Robert Crosnoe has completed one of the most comprehensive studies of the long-term effects on teenagers who say they don’t fit in. His new book “Fitting In, Standing Out” (Cambridge University Press; April 2011) provides new and disturbing evidence that socially marginalized youth, including victims of bullying, are less likely to go to college, which can have major implications for their adult lives….”

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012
Crosnoe makes a critical contribution to our understandings of high schools as developmental contexts. He presents a compelling theory of how our neglect of the social side of schooling will continue to plague educational reform efforts. While certainly not the final word on the subject, he lays out a blueprint for future research. A must read for any educational researchers conducting research in high schools…
