This guide discusses the trouble spots of growing up, examining two viewpoints: the adolescent's and the parents'. Offering practical, problem-solving scenarios, it gives advice on a whole range of important issues such as rebelliousness, drug-taking, eating disorders and teenage pregnancies. Taking a positive view of adolescence as a turbulent but exciting time, this book aims to bridge the generation gap and establish a higher level of understanding between often bewildered parents and their equally confused teenage children. The book includes case histories which should help to illustrate and solve problems. Clear and succinct advice boxes are provided, as well as conversational guides for helping parents discuss difficult problems. The guide also contains questionaires for parents, including questions such as "what kind of parent are you?" and for teenagers, including questions such as "what kind of friend are you?"
