The rest were written on topics selected by the authors based on teen trends and current events. In addition to specific suggestions on each problem, the authors share a thoughtful social commentary on how the world influences the next generation, and vice versa.Have teens read the companion volume: Dear Dr. Wes: Real Life Advice for Teens.
