What happens during adolescence emerges from early in life and sets the stage for later in life. This linking function of adolescence within the life course is grounded in social, psychological, and biological development and is fundamental to the intergenerational transmission of societal inequalities. This article explores this life course phenomenon by focusing on how the social ups and downs of secondary school shape adolescents' educational trajectories, translating their backgrounds into their futures through the interplay of their personal agency with the constraints imposed by the stratified institutions they navigate. Illustrative examples include gender differences in risky behavior, racialized experiences of school discipline, immigrant youths' family relations, LGBTQ students' school safety, STEM education, adverse childhood experiences, and mindset interventions.
青春期发生的事情源于早期生活,并为以后的生活奠定基础。青春期在人生轨迹中的这种联系功能是基于社会、心理和生物发展的,是代际传递社会不平等的基础。本文通过关注中学的社会起伏如何塑造青少年的教育轨迹,探讨了这一人生轨迹现象,通过青少年个人能动性与他们所经历的分层制度所施加的限制之间的相互作用,将他们的背景转化为未来。说明性的例子包括危险行为中的性别差异、学校纪律中的种族化经历、移民青年的家庭关系、LGBTQ 学生的学校安全、STEM 教育、不良童年经历和思维模式干预。
