A Valuable Survival Guide for Pre and Early Teens

Seventh and Eighth grade in today's schools are just awful. The peer pressure is mean, tough, and unrelenting. We know because we had one (very bright) kid forced out of seventh grade because of it. I discovered this book through a home schooling discussion group and it is widely praised. It is for the kids to read and then for you all to discuss. It gives great advice on schedules, getting along, dealing with bullies, pressure to smoke, pressure to get involved with drugs, and sex. This isn't something that the parent should read and preach. It is something the pre-teen should read and absorb with the parent's reinforcement.



You can buy it for under $9 (plus shipping of course) and it could be the best money you ever spent. It sure beats years of therapy later!
