  A fully revised and updated edition for the 21st century, this is the diary of Susie, the sister of Pete Payne ( The Diary of a Teenage Health Freak ). Following on from Pete's diary, it covers more of the issues and problems of being a teenager, this time primarily, though not exclusively, from a girl's point of view. Here is everything you need to know about sex, romance, anorexia, glandular fever, death, AIDS, dieting, taking exams, animal rights, contraception, divorce, coping with stress, and many things besides. They are covered in a light-hearted way, but with plenty of sensible advice.

  When Susie's diary first appeared, the atmosphere in the Payne household was somewhat strained: Pete made some very rude comments (although he was secretly impressed); there was a frosty reception from both parents; and one ex-boyfriend changed his name and went to live in Borneo. Bovril just smiled enigmatically, secretly relishing the thought of what would happen if she wrote a cat's-eye view of what the Payne family really got up to. But then the phone started to ring and the letters flooded in: Pete began to enjoy basking in reflected glory; her parents started recommending it to their friends, and new boyfriends appeared. Teenagers all over the world said, 'Great! Is there any more?' So Susie has at last agreed to publish this full, uncensored version. Here is everything you need know about sex, romance, anorexia, glandular fever, death, AIDS, dieting, taking exams, animal rights, contraception, divorce, coping with stress, and many things besides. This book is intended for teenagers, parents, teachers.
