Youth, parents and guardian, and school staff reports were used to explore key design features and qualities of after-school programs that foster school connectedness, (i.e., the degree to which youth feel connected to their school, measured by feelings of connection, attendance, and academic outcomes). The focus of this study was the Central Ohio Afterschool Youth Development Program, which targets programs in at-risk communities based on poverty and school performance. Results show that a variety of program features fostered school connectedness.

While the concept and definition of school connectedness has changed over the years, several common indicators are generally agreed upon by educators, researchers, and clinicians. Specifically, feeling connected to school involves positive and prosocial connections to peers, teachers, and staff at school; a sense of enjoyment and liking of school; a belief that school is important; active engagement in school activities; and a perceived sense of belonging, closeness, and commitment to school (Thompson, Iachan, Overpeck, Ross, & Gross, 2006). High levels of school connectedness are associated with positive physical and mental health outcomes such as increased emotional well-being, less substance abuse, better physical health, decreased levels of suicidal ideation, reduced depressive symptoms, lower risk of violent or deviant behavior, and reduced risk for teen pregnancy (for review, see Thompson et al., 2006). Moreover, youth with higher levels of school connectedness also demonstrate positive academic and educational outcomes that include more regular school attendance, enrollment in school for a longer period of time, and higher academic performance as measured by grades and classroom exam scores (for review, see Blum, 2005a).

Entering "self-injury" as a search term in Google yields over 15 million results. Using the same term to search YouTube brings up 2,140 videos. Self-injury appears in popular movies, music lyrics, and music videos. It is described in books, the news, and on the Internet. Ask any adolescent today what self-injury is, and not only will he or she likely be able to define it, nearly half asked will personally know someone who has engaged in the behavior. Self-injury has become such a part of the social landscape today there are even jokes about it: "I wish my grass were Emo so it would cut itself." How are these two phenomena, presence of self-injury in the media and widespread knowledge of it in adolescent populations, related? This article discusses these issues.

Much controversy surrounds the consequences of adolescent paid work, with researchers coming to diverse conclusions about whether work is good, work is bad, work doesn't matter (the purported effects of employment are spurious, dependent on processes of selection), and work matters for some youth but not others, depending on their prior backgrounds and attributes and the contexts of their employment. This article summarizes findings from the Youth Development Study, a long-term, ongoing longitudinal study that has followed a community-based panel from middle adolescence through early adulthood. The findings address this debate and support the final perspective-that the effects of teen employment on the successful transition to adulthood depend on its patterning through the years of high school (most invested, steady, sporadic, and occasional employment patterns) and its quality. Moreover, the YDS shows that patterns of teenage employment are linked to the social origins and motivations of youth upon entry to high school, and suggest that teenagers exercise agency as they build human capital during high school through education and work experience. The article concludes with a discussion of what parents, counselors, and others can do to help children make sound employment-related decisions during adolescence so as to assure effective career exploration and a successful school-to-work transition.
