If you're someone who opens a book to read the last chapter first, you won't be disappointed by what you find in Our Last Best Shot: Guiding Our Children Through Early Adolescence. The final chapter, "Some Concluding Thoughts," offers sharp insights into the early adolescent years. "Early adolescence is partly about loss," writes author Laura Sessions Stepp. "Parents lose their children's unquestioning adoration; kids lose their innocence, and sometimes their faith in adults." She adds observations on a wide variety of topics--communication, respect, responsibility, and the influence of other adults--that can be used as a road map for parents trying to help their children navigate these years with success.
If you're looking for a book based solely on academic research and written by an expert, this one may not satisfy. However, Sessions Stepp, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the Washington Post, uses her keen observation and interviewing skills to uncover the world of today's young adolescents. After two years of conducting numerous in-depth interviews and extensive research into current developmental theory, she seamlessly combines the two in a book that is both engaging and authoritative. One of the most important points Stepp makes is in regard to the rapidity of growth--emotional, physical, and intellectual--that young adolescents undergo. She writes of recent research, "I was fascinated to be told that adolescence is a time of growth and change rivaling infancy in its speed and accomplishments." This relatively recent revelation gives an urgency to her argument that adolescence is "our last best shot" at helping kids grow into successful adults. Considering the value and likeability of this often overlooked age group, Stepp's wisdom and insights will benefit anyone who cares about and works with young adolescents. Our Last Best Shot is an opportunity to look at today's teens in a new light and see futures filled with hope and possibility. --Virginia Smyth Read more...

Longitudinal studies of disordered eating behaviors of early adolescence to adulthood are limited in number and scope, and the results were contradictory, the researchers noted.
Another problem with previous studies, according to Neumark-Sztainer and colleagues, is their "limited generalizability because most were conducted in samples of predominantly white women, mainly from higher socioeconomic status."
In the current study, researchers included 1030 young men and 1257 women of various ethnic and socio-economic status.They were part of Project EAT-III (diet and physical activity in adolescents and young adults), a longitudinal study of 10 years to study diet, activity, and weight-related variables among young people.

The authors investigate whether or not middle school students’ reflected appraisals of competence, support, and importance were linked to their own corresponding self-perceptions. More specifically, do adolescents’ self perceptions mediate the relations between their perceptions of parents’, teachers’, and peers’ views, behavior, and academic perceptions?
