"All Shook Up" Chapter #4 and 5

While reading these two chapters I think I was able to understand parents' fears a little more.  Their children were acting way different than how parents acted when they were once teenagers.  I thought it was really interesting how "teenager" was not a word in the English dictionary until the 50's.  I thought this word was just a word like "adults" used for a long period of time.  In my opinion the change in teenagers from this era was because of the technology and because the music had a dramatic change.  All this was new for the teenagers and they wanted to explore new things.  Furthermore I was surprised when I read that teenagers who listen to rock and roll were the ones getting the worse grades.  On the other hand we had the teenagers that listened to classical music and pop were the ones doing better in school.  I feel that rock and roll was not a bad influence it was just a different way for teenagers to have fun.  The more parents went against this the more the teenagers wanted to listen to it.
