Things They Don’t Want You to Know

A field guide for parents about the secret lives of 21st-century teenagers – from relationships to self-harm, from drugs to sexting – and how you can help them and yourself through these turbulent years. The child-rearing tactics we read about in parenting manuals or learn from our own parents are useless. Anyway, how do you punish someone who’s already so miserable? This is a field guide for confused parents who are currently custodians of any teenager who’s feeling lost, alone, depressed or horny.
