Do you work with teens? Are there teens in your life?
The path to adulthood brings big changes for teens in all their relationships, especially their relationships with family and friends. Teenagers are figuring out who they want to be, and what they want to do with their lives. They are forging new identities separate from their parents, and focusing on their friendships as never before. This website provides useful information for teachers, librarians, and parents who want to help teenagers think creatively about what it means to be part of a family, and how to be a good friend.
Teens need a variety of information resources to help them on their journey to adulthood. Books can be mirrors onto teens' struggles and triumphs with family and friends. Movies can entertain even as they allow teens to build empathy for different kinds of families and new types of friendship. Meanwhile, the Internet has allowed teens extraordinary freedom to ask tough questions about family and friendship: teen-oriented websites provide answers to those tough questions. This website exists to bring those resources together in one place, to make access easier for teens and the adults who support them. |
