GETTING REAL... about growing up!
... is full of practical suggestions and things to do.

TeenSpeak, anecdotes and stories make GETTING REAL... about growing up! enriching and spiritually uplifting.

Stories are a great way of communicating a point and make it easier to understand and empathise when written in such language. TeenSpeak is an integral part of the book. It's great to hear the opinion of other young people. The style is diverse and effective.

I think the book will be an enjoyable and knowledgeable read for both parents and teenagers.

TEENAGERS WILL READ THIS BOOK!

I gave this book to a friend of mine. She was having trouble with her teenage daughters. She looked at me as if I were mad. They don't read books! she exclaimed. I insisted that she give it a try.

I chuckled when I heard her report the next day. She gave the book to her daughters. Their response was - What would SHE know- she's not a teenager. The book was left on the coffee table.

Whilst making dinner she listened to giggles, chuckles and exclamations as her daughters poured over the book.

That evening, for the first time in months the TV did not go on!!!

My friend told me she was absolutely amazed. I wasn't. Needless to say, she bought her own copy.
Jacob (Lismore)

My son has been on antidepressants for years.
It's heartbreaking to see what has happened to him. A friend of mine gave me a loan of the book. He insisted I let my son have a look at it. I was doubtful the Peter would even bother to open it.
I can't tell you how surprised I was when three days later he was still reading it. What more can I say.
John a father (Byron Bay)
