Some Young People

Some Young People

The Richardson boys ganged up with two other big families in their buildings and at various ages had tried out most of the local youth organisations. Bert Richardson with a suitable set of brothers and mates was in the Scouts but they got ejected. Later at thirteen he joined a boys’ club for its boxing and football and belonged on and off till he was sixteen. Then he suddenly dropped out. Why did Bert drop out? Originally published in 1954 the answer forms the substance of Some Young People the report of an inquiry into adolescents’ reactions to their local youth groups. Besides answering the question Who joins what? (and two thirds of these thousand youngsters of 14 to 17 were not members of any youth organisation) the book describes some of the hopes pleasures and difficulties of such people as Frances the chocolate packer who has ambition to marry before long; and John the carpenter’s apprentice whose passions are autocycling pigeons and pigs. It also throws light on problems such as those presented by gangs; and suggests the importance of my friends the closely-knit set who mean so much to the adolescent.
