Excellent!

This book is up-to-date, informative, thorough and full of good common-sense advice. As a parent, I found it very useful.

Strongly Recommened...

This book serves as a guide to self-understanding and the understaning of GLBTQ lifestyles. This book provides essential elements on the cause and effects. It also gives information on gay orginazations and counseling agents for those whom stuggle with homophobic problems. This book touches on scientific priciples and possible causes of the GBLTQ life style. Highly recommened. I will nick name the book, "THE GAY BIBLE". This book is a great tool for new-comers.

Great Resource

I work at a high school and the teenagers I work with love this book! I highly recommend it for any LGBTQ teen as well as for any parent or teacher/counselor working with young people.

Great for teens!

This is an awesome book. I bought several that I use with a group of high school students. It's very informative and easy to read. Also has step-by-step suggestions for coping with issues such as homophobia, harassment, and coming out. An invaluable resource.

Dealing with Teens? Get this!

This book is a must-have for any Library shelf that serves teens. It is written in a style appealing to teens and includes short, one or two page summaries of ways to cope with the many issues teens face when questioning their sexuality. It also provides excellent, current resources for teens, from crisis lines to 'safe' (moderated) chat sites. I especially enjoyed the section dealing with 'coming out' to parents and family. It provided experiences from other teens who have (the good, the bad, and the ugly), and also possible responses parents might have when a teen tells them he/she is gay. In addition, it listed possible, respectful ways to respond to less-than-accepting parents. A fantastic compilation of stories, insights, and resources for teens.
