The journal Youth & Society came out with its first publication in 1969 and from then on the issue is published bi-monthly six times a year. One can either get hard copy or electronic version of the articles in the journal. The perk of signing up for an online subscription is that you can view some of the articles in advance before the journal is published in hard copy. Subscription costs for individuals is $160 for one year which includes print and online access to current and previous year’s issue. However, you can gain full access the complete website with the volumes and articles through certain institutions that might have already subscribed to this for their library catalog.

Perkins and colleagues titled, Thriving in School: The Role of Sixth-Grade Adolescent–Parent– School Relationships in Predicting Eighth-Grade Academic Outcomes. In this research, Perkins and colleagues focus on the transitional period from 6th through 8th grade students. They use previous studies that have been done, but mainly focused on parents’ and school relationship in relation to students’ academic achievement. Perkins and colleagues, build on those studies by including adolescents in their research. They make four hypotheses trying to see if there is a correlation with parents’ guidance, school bonding, parents support, and school grades when it comes to positive transition from 6th through 8th adolescence. Perkins and colleagues used PROSPER Project data to conduct surveys and in-home interviews from randomly selected 28 communities from Iowa and Pennsylvania (Perkins and colleagues:2013). Their results showed that parental support and guidance didn’t make much of a difference in attitude toward school and academic achievement in 6th grade. Though, in 8th grade same students reported that they felt positivity towards their new school because they got more support and guidance from their parents (Perkins and colleagues:2013). In all, the perspective that the adolescents have about their parent’s involvements in and out of school does make a difference in their academic
