LOVE, SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS 101

Being a teen is the most excruciating, embarrassing, difficult and hormonally challenging time of your life. Every day you have to deal with the craziness of your parents or the drama of your pals. The list of teen worries seems endless: family problems, school pressures, body image, sex, birth control, pregnancy, s.t.d's, and more.    

You want to make decisions that are smart, but you feel the pinch as everyone around you has different and strong opinions. You could use some help. But who can you turn to when your 'rents don't listen, your teachers don't care, and your best friend is only interested in talking about the cute lifeguard at the pool?

The three R's of High School should be Reading, 'Riting and Relationships. But, since they aren't, Teenreads brings a roundup of some of the best and most honest books dealing with the many confusing issues with which high schoolers are faced.

**Our particular favorite is LOVE & SEX. It's a book of short fiction by a bunch of the coolest writers around. We have a full review of the book, so be sure to check out what they have to say about everything from first kisses to alien romances.
