  Today's young people are finding themselves facing 'grown up' issues at an alarmingly younger age. Tell It Like It Is, is the first ever book to take a no-nonsense, unpatronising look at the full range of the issues that affect teenagers. It gives authoritative, practical advice and information about drugs, smoking, alcohol, sex (and sexuality), money, relationships, families, health and stress - including self esteem, body image and eating disorders. The book is aimed primarily at boys and girls aged 11-14. Although girls may have glossy lifestyle-magazines to turn to for their advice columns, increasingly it is these very magazines that are pressuring them with adult issues. And boys have extremely limited sources of information and help. The limitations of the classroom and the playground means there is a vacuum for information that teenagers can identify with, absorb and trust. Parents too may find communicating with teenagers difficult - but they can be assured that the advice given to their children by Virgin is balanced and trustworthy. Teenagers - and parents - will trust The Virgin Young Person's Survival Guide to tell it like it is.
