While many young adults want to help their community in some way, many are unsure of where to start. This book empowers teenagers to take action by providing information on how to get started, be successful, and make a difference. First-hand accounts from teenagers provide additional insight from those who have gone through the process themselves.

In this age of social media, where so many friendships exist almost solely online, this book explores the greater meaning of friendship as an enduring and emotionally important area of life. It is a valuable resource for teenagers who are struggling to make friends, are in a toxic friendship, or just want to build more meaningful relationships.

Alcohol abuse is a widespread problem in American families. Families of all social, economic and educational subgroups suffer from alcohol abuse by parents. Because of the widespread problems of alcoholism, families with deaf children are also victims of alcohol abuse. Even though hearing children suffer greatly from parental abuse of alcohol, they are not as ill-equipped as deaf teenagers to deal with the problem. By in large, there are three reasons why deaf children are less able than hearing children to deal with the familiy problems created by parental alcohol abuse.

Todo dia, em algum lugar do planeta, algum jovem está fazendo uma foto ou um vídeo sensual e mandando para outra pessoa por meio de seu computador, tablet ou celular. Mais de 20% de nossos adolescentes foram intimidados, humilhados ou discriminados por meio do ciberbullying. É por esses e outros motivos que muita gente desconfia que a inteligência artificial cobrará um preço alto por facilitar nossas existências. Mas o fato é que, embora existam movimentos que pregam a desconexão, ninguém quer viver sem acesso à internet, muito menos os adolescentes, essa geração que já nasceu conectada. Mesmo sendo nativos digitais, os adolescentes carecem de um guia para a convivência ética -- o respeito à privacidade, os direitos e deveres de um novo tipo de cidadania, a digital. Também continuam precisando de um diálogo aberto e sem preconceito sobre sexualidade e pluralidade.

Não são raras práticas de mutilação como o self-cutting, a pornografia infantil e o grooming (quando um adulto seduz um menor), ou o sexting. Tudo isso pode gerar depressão, ansiedade e até mesmo o suicídio. Porém, há espaço para a orientação e a reflexão. Com uma linguagem leve e acessível, Brenda Fucuta procura entender o que os próprios adolescentes pensam sobre isso e busca respostas para uma convivência pacífica entre gerações
