The teenage years can be an anxious time. Young people need straight answers to the questions that worry them. Parents and teachers don't always help - some subjects can cause embaressment - and friends often don't give the whole story. Giving accurate advice and information on many of the subjects that matter to teenagers during puberty, this book answers questions such as: what is happening to my body, what should I know about sex, what is contraception, how can I stay healthy, why do I have spots, why do I feel so down in the dumps, what are the dangers of drugs and alcohol?
