  When Pete Payne's diary was originally revealed to an unsuspecting world the result was astonishing: teenagers piled out from behind the bike sheds to grab it from their friends; relieved teachers and startled parents were to be seen surreptitiously checking facts in well-thumbed copies. In response to international pressure Pete has now divulged the complete, unabridged, totally unexpurgated version, with no details spared - for other teenagers who want to know but are too embarrassed to ask, for parents who know some of it but are too embarrassed to answer, and for teachers who know most of it but don't have the time to explain. `a really good picture of the feelings and problems of being a teenager. It was so good I couldn't put it down: I read it until two in the morning and couldn't get up in time to do my paper round! ...essential for all teenagers and their parents' BL (15) `a hilariously funny but basically serious health education text' Journal of the Institute of Health Education This book is intended for teenagers, parents, teachers.
