Parents often seek reliable and comprehensible information about modern adolescents. This book provides scientifically grounded explanations of all the physical, emotional, and social changes during puberty; insights into the psychological motivations of teenagers and their thoughts on sexual orientation and various genders; and real stories from teenagers reflecting on their experiences, sharing what they wish adults knew or did differently.
