Awesome......teens, teens, teens.

This is a totaly awesome book it has so many cool insights of so many different teens. This is a good book to read if you need advise or just to realize that your not alone in the world when it becomes different and unknown. I hope that all teenagers read this book, because everyone will get something out of it!

Hot Stones and Funny Bones

Everyone should read this book as a way to understand our youth culture. Young people want to be heard (even when they shut us out); often, they are crying out for help. This book presents a starting point for talking to teens about how they see the world and, more important, how they feel about their place in the world.

Honest and Intriguing

This book gives insight to the real teenager and thoughts they may not normally share in a verbal manner. It is honest and expressive in a way that kids can relate to. What a wonderful reading for both adults and kids.

Kirby's book reviews: Hot Stones and Funny Bones

I read this one and liked it! I can say that Dr. Seaward can put into words the best help for teenagers I've read. He comprehends the conflicts of a teenager's life very well; better than most adults. The book is written in large part by teenagers that he interviewed throughout the nation, so it isn't as if it's just an adult telling teenagers how to solve their problems - this is teenagers giving peers their insight to problems that they've experienced and understand - it's shocking; you wouldn't believe some of the things that these kids go through that we don't know about. I particularly enjoyed the section in which the interviewed teenagers gave their advice to the reading parents of teenagers. I give it five stars and would most certainly recommend it for anyone who is a teenager or has a teenager.

Definitely a MUST READ!

This book is fabulous. I'm not in the habit of writing reviews but felt I couldn't resist in this circumstance. Teenagers are such a mystery! This book really helped me develop a better appreciation and understanding of what it is like to be a teenager in today's world. I also felt it provided an honest conversation from teens in their own words rather than lecturing to us absently about the topic. I feel I have a much better handle on what's going on with my teenagers. The author writes in a very candid, down-to-earth style and I found myself unable to put the book down. I recommend this book to teens and parents alike!
