I'm so pumped!

Boy was that a great book! I read it so so much. Almost twice, but a had to cut it short because some guy was pissing me off and I had to chop his head off. But boy did Louise J. Kaplan get me pumped about adolescence. I'm so pumped I could just drop kick her in the face. Boy am I pumped! (fade to black with guitar music in the background)

A very readable and definitive textbook!

Dr.Kaplan explains the physical and psychological transformations that occur as a child enters adolescence. She covers the evolution of sexuality and morality, socialization, the problems of modern youths and contemporary issues such as eating disorders.
