Just as we women in the 1970's needed Our Bodies Our Selves, today's teens will find answers to questions in Being a Teen, they can not ask about or don't trust others to answer.
Just finished reading this before I passed on to my 8th grader. Boy, the time has come for this book! It is VERY graphic, so depending on your "comfort zone," you should look at first. This is such an educational book for teens in this generation of instant gratification and social networking.
This book by Jane Fonda covers a lot of current topics without preaching. I think most teens will find it very helpful and thought provoking. Jane has done a lot of good for teens through the years, especially in Georgia - good for her!
I really pay close attention to what my grandaughter reads and I wish I'd had this book myself. It really describes how peer pressure can force you into bad decisions for the fear of being alone, or not liked. Excellent in explaining body parts what they do as some parents have issues or get embarassed by these personal questions that I feel linger in teen's minds. This book lets them read before they act..that to me is worth every word. I do agree that drugs, smoking those issues should of been addressed but again..peer pressure, self esteem..is usually key in those issues as well. Jane might of made mistakes, but haven't well all. I don't agree with the negative review on here, and yes, she's been married 3 times..this book isn't about marriage and maybe had she had someone to talk to as her mother died when she was 12, just think how different her life could of been. Her dad was gone alot. Personally, if your a parent, grandparent, I highly recommend this book..my grandaughter is 14 and appreciates the fact that this Grandma is paying attention!
I love this book. It is has great info on everything I want my teen to know and some I hadn't thought of. The topics don't drag on, they are specific and concise. Loved the resources for teens at the end. Highly recommend this book
Cant ever have too much information and I don't want my kid being clueless or misinformed. I asked her what she learned from reading this and she said "a lot" basically don't ask for more information. Roger that.
This book is great for teens who think their parents have no idea what they're talking about and they can read the stories about things they are struggling with which helps them feel more at ease with being a teenager today. I would recommend.
I bought it for my 15 yr old son. First thing he said, "Mom we talked about this, I know all the is STUFF." Well, he read it anyway. He even read it at school. He learned a few more things. He liked it even though he won't admit it. I know this because, we had a situation arise (months later) and he referred back to the book where he learned it from. Thanks Jane, He had confidence to speak about something uncomfortable.
