Synopsis "Love Letters from Teens to Parents"
In Love Letters from Teens to Parents, author Marlene Riddle offers fifty examples of letters written by teens to their parents about trust, being popular, jealousy, choosing friends, enjoying adolescence, dealing with bullies, labeling, and having a purpose for their lives. These letters will reveal to parents what is happening in their children's lives, such as the problems they are having or difficult situations they are experiencing, so they can better guide and direct their teens to a more satisfying life. Without these letters, many parents would never know what is happening in their children's lives, as more than fifty percent of teenagers are afraid to talking to their parents about private, personal problems. Some are afraid of being mistreated, punished, grounded, yelled at, or humiliated. Many adolescents are frightened by the word "teenager," as it carries with it a false connotation. Adolescence does not need to be difficult, confusing, or troublesome. Relax, my friend! Make these few years the most extraordinary time of your life!
