There is something going on among our teenagers and it's alarming! Their behavior is becoming more troubling than most of us are willing to admit. This book looks at 53 disturbing behaviors that teens are involved in. Could the list be longer?
"Yes," say the authors. "But we have attempted to address those behaviors that we are seeing more frequently among our students and some behaviors that are just beginning to be seen on the radar screen. Some are, sadly, all too familiar. There are others that you need to be aware of."
This book should act as an alarm, an educational tool. Most important is that you will be able to recognize the behavior described and be able to make corrective measures to help your teenager. Hopefully, this book will help you make and take preventative steps. Others, though, will need to make rehabilitative steps.
"We tell our students," the authors continue, "that it is always cheaper to build a fence at the top of a cliff, than a hospital at the bottom."
Whether you have (or will have) teenagers, or you work or minister among teenagers, your modus operandi must be more intrusive. This book will help. Sample topics include:
-
Abortion
-
Branding
-
Date Rape
-
Eating Disorders
-
Jelly Bracelets/Snap
-
Online Pornography
-
Oral Sex
-
Over-the Counter Drugs
-

-
Raves
-
Steroids
