From School Library Journal:

Gr 7-10-In this compilation of self-help/improvement tips, Carter-Scott provides 10 chapters of "teen truths." Rules addressed are actually discussions and anecdotal accounts of individuals and how they faced the problems of change and choices; friendships and romantic relationships; questioning authority; making mistakes; and lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, tobacco). The stories are primarily middle-class vignettes of a demographically stable world; names may reflect a variety of ethnic groups, but everything is pretty simplistic in discussion and problem resolution. There is no mention of date rape, and abortion is assiduously avoided in favor of adoption. The author avoids overt didacticism and does not proselytize any religious beliefs, but there is an overtone of teacher or parent-to-teen advice. Clear, concise writing and a palm-sized format will appeal to readers interested in this type of self-help book. The brief entries are accompanied by sidebar quotes from a variety of sources; there is a brief list of hot lines, but no Webliography.-Gail Richmond, San Diego Unified Schools, CA
