The Traps of Youth

By Albert Lee Daw

One of life's most confusing periods is adolescence. The hormones are raging. The body and mind are in constant flux. And it's a time to start taking responsibility for life and find a way out of the nest. But it's also a phase packed with miscues, negative influences, and constant danger. Life at this age of false invincibility can feel like a big game. Albert Lee Daw, MD, FACS, wants to show youth how to survive as unscathed as possible. He reveals the most common and surprising traps that youth fall into, such as the three thousand fatalities per year from car crashes and the allures and long-term damages of smoking and substance abuse. As a retired trauma and general surgeon, he's seen far too many injuries from teenagers' boldness in the face of danger, and he wrote this book to shine some light on how those dangers can be avoided. Parents and teenagers alike will find it an eye-opening and informative read that provides guidance as well as an invaluable opportunity for dialogue between adults and youth. Knowing the facts makes danger far less attractive, so focus on the important things. Don't just survive the game-win
