Synopsis

Funny, easy to read, practical and straight talking. Yes, you’ll love this book, whether you’re a teenager or not. Let’s face it; relationships can be tough, no matter what your age. Wanting to get honest information that will increase your odds of success while minimizing anxiety is something everyone in a relationship can understand. For teens, it’s no different.

But, for some teens, it’s hard to talk to parents about the hard questions. And for some parents, it’s hard to talk to teens about the hard questions. The answer is here for everyone in this teen-friendly book.

Real-life stories by teenagers pepper each chapter giving the topics an edge. But, this isn’t just a collection of stories. It’s hands-on information that teens can use, starting immediately.

A bigger bonus is that it’s written for both guys and girls. Many dating books today are aimed only at young girls. This book is applicable for both sexes of any age.

Be careful; once you pick it up, it’s hard to put it down. You’ll be laughing and nodding your head while you learn new ways to have confidence with the opposite sex and create healthy relationships that make you feel good about yourself.

Critically praised by teens, parents and professionals, What Smart Teenagers Know…About Dating, Relationships and Sex® is sure to be the most dog-eared book on your shelf.
