Jean Dancy's Love Guide for Teens

When this book first came out, I was still teaching English at Cleveland High School in California. This book was my baby, my gift...to all of the teenage girls who were crowding my room and following me across the campus...pleading with me for answers, "Ms. Dancy, Ms. Dancy! What is real love?" This book answers that question and so much more...as it uncovers the lies and traps often set for girls.

Love Guide for Teens provides clear, simple information, a roadmap, and a flashlight that can help guide teenagers through their journey---unharmed.

My wonderful students at Cleveland High said, "Ms. Dancy, you should write something for us to follow...something short and very easy to understand." That is how this book was born.

I have counseled married couples, troubled teens, and people with relationship problems for years. I love teenagers and I consider it an honor and a privilege to be in their presence. I am in awe of how beautiful they are and I wish I could show the world what I see behind those tattoos, sagging clothes, and pierced bodies.

Some people toss the thought of teen love out of their minds like a used coffee cup but it's real...so real that there are young people who consider suicide when it ends. I know. I have talked with them. I have cried with them.

Love Guide for Teens was written primarily to help teenage girls identify some of the tricks and traps of abusers. However, it can be a valuable tool for young men to see where they are on the potentially abusive scale. This book can be a treasure for precious girls who are stumbling through those wonderful butterfly feelings of love without a flashlight or a plan.

This book does not promote or endorse inappropriate behavior for teenagers.

Love Guide for Teens can help build self-esteem and confidence in teenagers.

Muhammad Ali fascinated a little girl with his fancy footwork in the ring and caused her to fall in love with the sport of boxing. Her biggest dream was to meet Ali. Though destiny had something even better in mind. That little girl was Jean Dancy. The Alabama A&M University graduate studied English and Psychology. Jean is grateful to have worked as an Actress, Model, Make- up Artist, Jazz Singer, English Teacher, Sportswriter, Motivational Speaker, Life Skills Teacher, Real Estate Broker, and Certified Mediator. However, her most outstanding accomplishment happened when she made boxing history by becoming the only woman to become both a Boxing Manager and Boxing Promoter. Additionally, Jean is the first female to manage and later promote an athlete who was also her husband. Under Dancy's management, Marty Monroe soared to a #4 world ranking in the Heavyweight boxing division. Throughout her career, Dancy has received recognition for her achievements. Some of those achievements include being named "Woman of the Year" in sports for her accomplishments in the boxing business; and being honored for becoming a member of the multi-million dollar circle of salespeople as a Real Estate Broker. What about Muhammad Ali?--and destiny? Jean didn't just meet Ali, she became the only female boxing manager in his Deer Lake Training Camp! As a Sportswriter, and boxing enthusiast, Dancy has connected with some of the most elite boxers, trainers, and promoters in the history of the sport. That list includes Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Don King, Evander Holyfield, Thomas "Hit Man" Hearns, the Mayweathers, and many more.Jean Dancy is the mother of a lovely daughter. She particularly enjoys helping people in relationships, motivational speaking, singing, and painting.
