Fran Abrams tracks a year in the lives of a group of people, all at different stages of their teens, during one year in their daily lives: at school, at home, out with friends, at clubs and places of worship. Anthony, once excluded from school and in trouble with the police, is a talented rapper and a loving, sensitive son. Ambitious Perin, whose parents were exiled from Uganda, refuses to see his wheelchair as an impediment. Ruhi, a secular refugee from Islamic fundamentalism, holds her own in a class in which most pupils are committed Muslims, Christians and Hindus.
Interweaving the teenagers' own stories with the views of their teachers and parents, How It Feels to be a Teenager is a vivid, enormously fun and compelling portrait of today's teenagers, in all their energy and uncertainty.
