GET THIS BOOK FOR YOUR TEEN(S)!!!!,
I’m just about finished with this as well as Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy. Both great books. I wish I had had this one growing up, it would have helped me a lot to not feel so alone and to learn about being true to myself in terms of discovering my own identity. I highly recommend this book for ANY teen. Doc Mike talks in today’s teen lanquage about their world now and how to face its many, many challenges. Just can’t say enough.

|Great value but may be hard for a teen to get through,
I got this book when one of my kids expressed hurt feelings that I got Bradley’s other book for parents called “Yes, Your Teen is Crazy.” Fair is fair, right? We all liked the cover illustration a lot. Well, neither of my teens has read the book so far. I think the quantity of content could be a bit overwhelming. I think it’s a great book though. I love the author’s writing style a lot. You just have to know yourself or your kid to know if you/they will read a hefty, nearly 400 page book (unlike Harry Potter which both my kids delighted in reading).
The book is divided into three parts:
1) You Right Now (body, brain, psychological development and craziness)
2) Your World (culture, parents, family, peers, school)
3) Your Day to Day Life (made up of 30 topics in alphabetical order from aggression and appearance to working.)
The way I see it, if you or a kid you know can get a bit of help from reading any part of the book, it’s worth its weight in gold (like what to say when a kid is getting pressured to do something she doesn’t want to). When my kids were little, I got a parenting tip to have a home rich with resources. I still try to keep it that way because you never know what they’ll pick up and get into. This book is going to stay on my shelf as a resource for me my kids. Recommended!
Edit, seven months later: Yes! As I hoped, the book has been discreetly picked up and read in sections that are relevant.
