The Challenging Years: Shedding Light on Teen Sexuality

By Twila Pearson

When puberty strikes we are often thrown into vicious whirlwinds of euphoria, anger, anxiety and depression. Confusing and unreliable emotions can color our perspective as we look at the choices available to us. Knowing what is normal growth and development can help us understand. Knowing the risks involved in the choices we face can help us recognize pitfalls and help us make decisions that are not based on faulty assumptions. Pearson gives us the information we need to do just that. She addresses difficult topics with straight forward confidence and gives teens as well as parents much to think about.
