REVIVING OPHELIA: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls

Newsweek says OPHELIA offers parents and teenage girls "a way to resist the worst of the culture around them and substitute the best of themselves". Mary Pipher, author of the best-selling book of the same name, explains how corporate and marketing values, aimed at the seduction of adolescent females for their allowances, are supplanting family and even common-sense values!! She explains the deviations in health and lifestyle that the imposition of media-inspired values has had recently on teenage girls in terms of eating disorders, sexual activity, increased stress relating to body image, etc. She also outlines an opposing set of "real" values based on strength of mind, body, and character. Also shows parents, grandparents and friends of young women how their attitudes can act as a countervailing force to modern cultural influences that dwell only on prevailing images of beauty and financial worth.
