      Newsweek  |  Mar 20, 08 3:30 PM CDT

      Teens' Public Orgies Rattle Chilean Mores

      (Newser) - Can 100 teenagers performing oral sex on one another in a public park not be a political statement? That's one of the questions the sight of horny, apolitical, bisexual Chilean teenagers are prompting among their appalled, mostly Catholic compatriots, Newsweek reports from a country still haunted by General Pinochet's repressive ghost, yet taking full advantage of his free-market legacy.

      For Generation 'Look at Me,' Every Moment Is Public

      (Newser) - They’re known as millennials, the documentation generation, and the Look at Me’s.

Now sociologists are asking: Can healthy identities and relationships thrive in a generation obsessed with self-presentation and exhibitionism? More »

      Teens Brake on Driving at 16

      (Newser) - Turning 16 has long been a rite of passage, but many teens are holding off on that first ticket to freedom: the driver's license. The percentage of 16-year-olds licensed nationwide fell from 43.8% in 1998 to 29.8% in 2006, the New York Times reports. States are tightening underage driving laws even as families balk at the rising costs of insurance and driver's ed. More »

      Girl Gangs Clash in Paris

      (Newser) - Paris cops recently broke up a suburban street-fight between rival gangs—but this time the gangsters were girls, the Times of London reports. "They had knives, screwdrivers, sticks and teargas and they were really going for each other," one officer said. Girl violence has spiked 140% in France since 2002, but police were surprised by the sight of an armed girl-gang battle. More »

      Bueller, Er, Bartlett Is a Pill

      (Newser) - Charlie Bartlett , about a charming but troubled high school student who dispenses advice and prescription medication to his classmates, is being given mostly passing grades by critics. Sure, the teen film hits the expected themes of "angst, alienation, loneliness, disenchantment, and drug use," writes the Hollywood Reporter 's Kirk Honeycutt. At the same time, it maintains a deft comic touch through "keen observation." More »

Victims have ranged in age from 15 to 26. More »

      Teen Drinkers Mimic Parents

      (Newser) - Parents' drinking habits can influence those of their children, but perhaps not how you might think, a study suggests. While kids are apt to mimic boozing elders, more than one action speaks louder than words: The lax monitoring and harsh punishment that go hand in hand with alcohol abuse can also drive teenagers to the bottle, Reuters reports.
