Synopsis

One of a series which combines the visual appeal of magazine style with factual information to provide a guide for teenagers, this book looks at family and friends. Teachers notes are provided as an aid to classroom discussion and written work, and a list of help-line numbers is included. During the teenage years, people are faced with many difficult decisions, and family and friends are an important source of support. This book discusses the importance of families, how people can learn to get on better with their family and some of the problems that occur in families, such as divorce and step-parents. Information is also included about teenagers who do not live at home but live in foster homes or other homes. A chapter on family crises includes information on physical and sexual abuse, death in the family and bereavement. A chapter on friends discusses pressure from friends, bullying, loneliness and relations between a person's friends and family. Romance and sexual relationships are also discussed.

Author Bio
Michael claims that English was his worst subject at school; his burning ambition was to become a footballer but his dreams were never realised and he went on to study Maths and Computer Science at university.Humour is at the heart of everything that Michael does: he sees it as the 'antidote' to his very technical and non-creative career. Michael's first book was excitingly entitled Disk Programming Techniques for the BBC Microcomputer, and finding that he enjoyed writing the jokes more than the rest, Michael decided to try leaving out the computer bits. In 1993 Michael decided to concentrate full-time on his writing (apart from when he's day-dreaming about football).In 1997 Michael's novel for older children Weirdo's War was shortlisted for the Carnegie Children's Book Award, the Lancashire Children's Book Award and the Writers Guild Award.
