Filled with stories, exercises, and vibrant graphics, Teens in Action presents serious information in a not-too-serious way that will help break down barriers. Several of the concepts are even presented using graphic novel format. Comics like “Interview with the Vampire with Low Self-Esteem” and “A Teenage Werewolf Plays the Blame Game” will get a smile even out of boring adults!
This book provides important information for adolescents, explaining mature communication skills while helping them to understand the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse. Also discusses freedom vs. responsibility, school success, understanding consequences, coping with peer pressure, sexuality, bullying, and more. It can be used with a Teens in Action class, and is terrific on its own. Parents can also read this book to shed some light on what’s going on with their teens! Quantity discounts are available.
