Diverse issues and problems affect our young people today, and they probably don't yet know how to effectively deal with these problems. These eight new titles for reluctant readers cover a broad range of issues that teens face every day.Many teens who suffer from abuse and discord in the home ultimately find themselves living on their own. Some are forced onto the street because they are physically or sexually abused; others leave against their will because they are no longer welcome in their family's home. This book will help teens cope safely with the many aspects of living on their own, including finding shelter, earning money, building a support network, and staying in school.
