Stick Up for Yourself : Every Kid's Guide to Personal Power & Positive
Self-Esteem
By Gershen Kaufman, Lev Raphael, Pamela Espeland
Synopsis:
From School Library Journal
A self-help guide to positive thinking, high self-esteem, and responsible
personal power. Based on a program originally developed for adults, the book's
premise is that all young people can and should be taught the skills necessary
to face common issues, such as making choices, liking themselves, and solving
problems. Exercises guide readers through learning about their own feelings,
dreams, and needs--while stressing that they are responsible for their own
behavior and happiness. Written in manual form, Stick Up For Yourself is similar
in format to the many adult titles of the same genre. Situational anecdotes used
to enhance the discussion are age appropriate and relevant to children. Of
particular value are the "Getting Personal" sections that encourage writing and
keeping a journal, which makes the guide more interactive and meaningful. The
highly motivated will use this book independently, but it will be most effective
within the classroom, family, or guidance group.
Ingram
Discusses problems facing young people such as making choices, learning about

Cliques, Phonies, & Other Baloney
by Trevor Romain
Book Description:
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-8-Youngsters who are sometimes victimized by their peers will appreciate
this reassuring and humorous treatment of cliques versus friendship groups,
phonies versus real friends, and popularity versus being popular with yourself.
Romain defines these concepts, provides examples, and explores commonly held
myths about them. With a sense of ease and lighthearted humor (sometimes
bordering on the truly silly), the author serves up solid advice in friendly,
reassuring prose, often using slang words, such as "Duh!" and "barfed." The
book's expressive black-and-white cartoons, open layout, and easy-to-read text
will appeal to reluctant readers. A solid purchase.
Ingram
Written for every child who has ever felt shut out or trapped by a clique, this
book blends humor with practical advice as it explains how to form positive,
healthy relationships. Trevor Romain tackles this serious subject with wit and
common sense, explaining what cliques are and why they exist.

Hot Stones and Funny Bones : Teens Helping Teens Cope with
Stress and Anger
by Brian Seaward
Book
description:
An Inside Look at How Teens Feel and Deal with Life
More than seventy-five teens from across the country were
interviewed on a range of topics and issues: parents, friends,
sports, clothes, school violence and peer pressure. With the passion
and frustration expressed by teens in their narratives, as well as
in their artwork and poetry, this book is a unique combination of
original teen contributions and effective stress- and
anger-management techniques from a mental-health professional. Most
important, it was designed expressly for teens.
Hot Stones and Funny Bones is divided in three sections. "Telling It
Like It Is" highlights problems and issues that nearly every teen
faces in the middle- and high-school years, expressed in their own
voices. The second section, "The Best Way to Cope with Stress",
offers a host of coping skills and relaxation techniques for teens
to utilize, ranging from ways to boost self-esteem and effective
anger-management skills, to meditation and creative expression. The
third section, "Final Comments From Teens", reveals opinions,
lessons learned and advice to parents and teenagers about the
struggles and triumphs of teen years. In addition, every chapter
includes "Thoughts, Reflections and Action Plans", where teens can
process what they've learned, using the information to make healthy
behavioral changes.
With all the stress and gamut of emotions in our hectic-and at times
chaotic-world, this book will be a hit with teens trying to make
sense of it all and stay sane at the same time.

Relationships
by Ruth Bell Alexander, Ruth Bell

happening and I look around and say, Duh."
Of course, the truth is that no one has the script because there is no script to
follow. Chances are you'd find that almost everyone else has questions and
worries a lot like yours, if you could get them to admit it. This brand-new,
completely updated and revised edition of Changing Bodies, Changing Lives is

feels pressured to use drugs?
still hasn't hit puberty yet?
wants to avoid the gang scene?
worries when my mom doesn't come home at night?
is scared that I might have AIDS?
can't decide what form of birth control to use?
has no idea how to tell my friends I'm gay?
goes on eating binges?
has never had an orgasm?
is shut out of the popular crowd?
Changing Bodies, Changing Lives has helped hundreds of thousands of teenagers
make informed decisions about their lives, from questions about sex, love,
friendship, and how your body works to dealing with problems at school and home
and figuring out who you are. It's packed with illustrations, checklists, and

voices, poems, and cartoons from hundreds of other teenagers, who tell you what
