This book offers an introduction to teen life in Europe by examining 12 countries of the region. There are many similarities between the experiences of teenagers across Europe, but there is also a great deal of diversity in teen life in different European countries, reflecting differences of economics, geography, and politics. This book explores teenage life in twelve different European countries. Each chapter is written by a native of that country, and covers the following areas: a typical day; family; traditional and non-traditional food dishes; school; social life, entertainment, and recreation; and religious practices and cultural ceremonies. Each chapter concludes with a resource guide providing print and electronic sources for additional research. This is part of the "Teen Life around the World" series and reflects the diversity of teen life across the continent.
