ABOUT THE BOOK

Warning! This is not a typical book about teens. It’s sometimes politically incorrect and controversial, but grounded in real life, meticulously documented by thousands of interviews with teens who want tough questions answered. It may make you squirm, or force you to re-evaluate your own past, but opens doors to open and honest communication -- even about hot topics like drugs, sex, depression and suicide. The Real Deal is a remarkable new guide that shows parents, teachers - or anyone involved with teens -- how to open better channels of communication.
