Personal & social issues: body & health (Children's&YA)

The Teenage Body Book, Third Edition provides a vast source of useful information, advice, and resources to help teenagers deal with many of the new, sometimes troubling situations that they face in their formative years.

Everything teenagers need to know about nutrition, health, fitness, emotions, and sexuality.

Some teen issues are timeless- self-consciousness and uncertainty over rapidly changing bodies, tumultuous feelings, and dramatically changing lives. Many parents remember vividly their own youthful struggles. But today's teens face challenges and possibilities that their parents never imagined- cyberbullying, pressure to sext, new attitudes about sexual orientation and gender, and medical advances that have changed teen lives.

The Teenage Body Book provides a platform for teens (and their parents) to discuss dilemmas, doubts, and possibilities that face young people in the new century.

Completely revised and updated for the first generation of teens to be born in the 21st century, The Teenage Body Book teaches teens how to- -Overcome body image worries and maintain a healthy weight -Make wise choices about drinking, smoking, and drugs -Deal with depression, anxiety, and stress -Avoid STDs, pregnancy and abusive relationships -Safeguard devices and reputations in cyberspace -Understand gender identity and sexual orientation

Reviews for The Teenage Body Book: Revised and Updated Edition

This book should be not only in the library of every middle and high school, but also in the hands of every student and in health education classes. I cannot praise the substantial (300 pages) book enough! Science Books & Films Online, a critical review journal by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) A comprehensive handbook... answering questions every teenager would want to know. Includes a panel of teens offering insight, insuring that this updated version of the classic Teenage Body Book is just as meaningful to today's teens. Recommended. Ann M. Warner, Eastern Washington Book Review Council The easily digestible chapters address issues of emotions, healthy eating, exercise, stress, mind-expanding substances and getting help when you need it. With helpful illustrations and charts, McCoy and Wibbelsman present the truth about adolescence and all the changes it brings, without sugarcoating the message or talking down to its audience.
