I've read this book front to back, and as a teen I find this book completely UNhelpful! That may have been the way teens thought way back when, but I find that adults don't understand the complexity of a teenage life today. Try and get phsycological with a teen and they are smart enough to recognize that for what it is. Try and say we have a psychological need, and all we see are words. This time around teens DON'T want attention or help WE WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!!!!! We dont need or want your PROFESSIONAL HELP!!!!
