Teens in Saudi Arabia

the long version

Saudi teenagers embrace their families and religious customs. Their world is a mixture of traditional Islamic views and values with luxuries and technologies afforded by the nation's oil wealth. Modern life has brought more independence to teens in this traditionally strict culture. What will these teens do with the responsibility that comes with their new freedoms? Teens in Saudi Arabia is part of Global Connections, a series that uncovers the challenges, pastimes, and customs of teens around the world.
