Too long coming 
2005-08-10
I'm a big fan of Dr. Bluestein's work and this did not dissapoint me. This book is real...real kids, real problems, and blessedly real hope. I'm sorry it wasn't around when I was in high school, but I know it will help someone now. For too many kids, high school is a nightmare they live with their whole lives. This book lets them know they're not alone - a solution all by itself. But, as usual, Dr. Bluestein packs more goodies. If you're a fan, you'll already have this book. If you're not, you soon will be if you read it.
Jane Bluestein writes another winner! 2005-10-28
It describes in great detail what kids go through... and the cool thing is that this is a collaboration: Jane Bluestein, Eric Katz and the contributors to the book...
The fact that some of these people chose to remain anonymous shows the seriousness that all these experiences share.
There are experiences in here that I never would have dreamed that people would have, and it is a real eye opener. Even though I had it bad in high school, I was reminded of just how bad it really can be. I am grateful my experiences were bad enough so that I learned from them, but I am also glad that other people felt like sharing their experiences so that I could learn from them as well.
This book is filled with the love that came directly from Jane Bluestein's heart. She is a gem, for sure!
The Greatest Book for Teens 2005-10-13
I really loved this book. It had a lot of information that most teens do not know. Some teens think they can only talk to their friends about personal things that are bothering them. Students think teachers are just against them and just don't care about them. I know this book relates to me. Some of the stories told by the students, I could relate to. I felt the exact same way they did. I recommend this book to any teen who is having trouble in life and needs help dealing with it or anyone interested in reading a very interesting and educational book.
Nothing like it! 2005-09-12
There is nothing like this book anywhere...for helping, confirming, educating, tickling, prodding. Not only does this book clue me in as a parent, it is a great resource for kids trying to get through high school the best they can, or failing to. I bought 3, one for each of my nieces and nephew. They have all commented on how "hip" and "with it" it is. And helpful, which they casually slide into the conversation.
very helpful 2005-08-12
This book offers wonderful information, resources, and advice for people going through the trials and tribulations of high school. It deals with just about all the issues high schoolers deal with: relationships, friendship, fitting in, suicide, narcotics, academics, you name it. It's written in a way that makes the reader fell like s/he can confide in the authors because it takes on a very understanding, nonjudgmental, and loving tone (crucial). Every high school should carry a copy in its library.
Fantastic Book for Students, Parents & Teachers 2005-08-11
As a teacher contributor with 12 students acknowledged in this wonderful book (and many more who contributed anonymously), I was expected to say something nice. I held off until I read the book cover to cover, not once but many times. I immediately sent a copy to my 14 year old daughter who is a freshman in high school in Maryland and made other copies available at the school where I teach. Dr. Bluestein captured the essence of what the kids are saying, in their own words and on their own turf. This is an easy to read book designed so that any teenager can get to the substance of a topic quickly. Too few adults can relate so poignantly to areas of high school life that need to be understood. I urge parents to read this book and make it available to their teenager. I urge my colleagues who teach the precious youth of our country to read this book to hear what their students are thinking and saying and to know where to send them for sound advice.
