There are new and interesting people to meet, a wide variety of exciting challenges, and the pleasure that comes with greater freedom and increased responsibility. In all of this, though, there is the "tough stuff" that shapes and defines who you are and what you can grow to be. Every new situation brings with it a decision to be made. So what is the best way to deal with the tough choices that inevitably pop up? How do you stay true to who you are and what you want to become? What part do your Christian beliefs play in your decision making, and in what ways do the voices of peers, parents, and God affect your choosing? A Catholic Teen's Guide to Tough Stuff addresses a broad range of issues that confront youth today. Some (dating, for example) are perennial; other (such as the potential hazards of the Internet) are more recent. The issues include relationship with self, relationships with peers, and relationships with parents and other adults. Each topic is treated with straightforward but gentle wisdom and frequent splashes of humor, with a common thread of Catholic faith as the source of strength and guidance. With straight talk on the real issues that face teens in their daily lives, A Catholic Teen's Guide to Tough Stuff will be a valuable companion for a young Catholic journeying through the sometimes confusing terrain of adolescence. |
