   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Dave Peltzer’s Help Yourself for Teens is a useful and touching self-help book for young adults. The book begins by setting the stage: To deal with the future, you must first deal with the past. Part II of the book deals with helping teens understand that the choices they make are in fact their choices and that they must choose wisely and avoid hatred at all costs. Part III is about commitment and setting goals. A great strength of this book is that it is written directly to the teenage reader in the second person “you.” Many of my own students would feel like the author is speaking directly to them and therefore take the advice more seriously. The advice given is legitimate. A drawback of the book is that the language used is not accessible to all students. Second language learners would struggle with the vocabulary and concepts presented in the text. I would recommend this book for check out in the school library and in a teacher’s classroom library collection. It can be recommended to students on an as-needed basis. I have a few students I will recommend the book to this week. (  ) athenamilis | Apr 16, 2008 |  Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
'The bottom line- Your life's outcome is solely up to you. If you can get out of bed in the morning, go to the bathroom, get dressed and nuke something in the microwave without any help, then you are capable of doing, achieving and handling just about anything that life can throw at you. You can do this. You can live up to your potential. And at your age, frankly, I expect you to.' Straight-talking, unpatronising, inspirational advice from bestselling author Dave Pelzer. Before he became a teenager, Pelzer was subjected to horrific physical and mental abuse from his mother. During his teens the long road to recovery began and today Pelzer spends much of his working life talking to young adults in schools and foster care centres. Pelzer's message is simple and powerful- identify problems, face them, think about where you want to be in life and never, ever give up on yourself. Being a teenager isn't easy in today's world, but as Pelzer says, it brings with it massive opportunities - and it's much more exciting than being an adult.
