Synopsis

Today's parents are confronted with startling degrees of sophistication, independence and boldness that are the badges of a new age of teenagers. These kids can smoke, drink, pierce and tattoo their bodies, use drugs, and have sex at will. What's different about teens of today is that they have access to things like never before, especially through the internet. They have been weaned on extreme sports and MTV, and they love risk. Over seventy percent of all high school aged children have tried cigarettes. That means that it's not somebody else's children that are at risk -- all children are susceptible to smoking, and parents need help to combat this problem. This book will help parents get personally involved in their children's lives by breaking down the reasons why teens take risks, and why many choose smoking as one of their emblems of defiance. The book delivers the answers that many parents and today's teenagers seek: answers on smoking, on friendship, on parents, on rebellion, on trust, and on growing up.
