Good Information If Used Wisely

I work with girls in the age range that this book covers. I have seen first-hand what misinformation and lack of information can lead to. My own daughter is twelve today. This book is concise, straight-forward, and not the least bit condescending. I do think that it's a bit above the intellect of the youngest in the group, but the information it contains is invaluable. Many parents today still have trouble talking to their kids about sex, drugs, feelings, etc. This book offers advice that is both necessary and up-to-date. I learned a few things myself! My daughter and my other charges will be able to make clearer decisions and cope with more of life's challenges because I had the foresight to "allow" them to read it. Teen catastrophes won't go away until we give them the tools to stop it. It's the only control we have. Think about it.

Good complement to author's Sex Ed.

Nice approachable book for teens on sex. Hope there will be one for boys soon. Covers the relevant material clearly and succinctly, and shows that sex is a normal part of life. (None of us would be here without it!)
