The book provides excellent guidance for those looking to impact the lives of teenagers. In the

Edited by a well-educated, researcher of youth culture, this encyclopedia looks at several categories of adolescent research. Topics include identity and development, relationships, social contexts, and mental health. These are all important topics for YA librarians to research, as it provides insight into the average YA librarian’s user demographic, and would allow for more thoughtful programming, collection development, and overall YA services. While this source does tackle all aspects of adolescence, not just male culture, it is less relevant and modern, and less easily navigated/synthesized, making it the less applicable source for YA librarians.

I am writing from the Youth and Teen Unit of the City of Daly City Department of Library and Recreation Services. Every summer, there is an opportunity for teens in 8th - 12th grade (ages 13-18) to join our Volunteen Leadership Program (VLP). This program runs in conjunction with our Summer Youth Recreation Program (SYRP), which caters to children (ages 6-12), giving positive and exciting social diversions through recreation. Volunteens work side by side with our Recreators at a SYRP site, giving them opportunities to give back to their community and earn service credits for their school (if applicable). Furthermore, Volunteens learn life skills such as: team building, effective communication, leadership roles, and how to be a positive role model to the youth. Our aim is to prepare youth in our community to become future Recreators in our programs.

Dealing with young people/teenagers can be a minefield. It can be hard as at this age they believe that they “know everything” and are “grown up” so have no need to listen to others points of view. But sometimes young people need our help just as much, or more than children.

For those of us that are parents, we know that raising a child to adulthood is not an easy task but one which we do lovingly (hopefully) and responsibly. I’ll go out on a limb to say here that everyone agrees that the teenage years are the most challenging. The general consensus is that teenagers are unruly, aggressive, careless, spoiled and dependent on technology. On the other hand, I believe along with a small group of other parents that teenagers are also brilliant and in the process of becoming and reaching their potential and that they deserve much more respect than what they are given.

"Children need to be frightened. We all do. It's an emotion that is given to all of us and it should be exercised. "(scarytales lines 52-55) The "Tale-Tell Heart" is an appropriate read for the average eighth grade age group.

Responsibilities have increased from technology and because of technology rising and becoming more resourceful it is causing stress to teens who feel pressured. Schooling has caused teens stress because they want to ask for more and they believe we can give more because of stuff like the internet being easier to find. But in reality it’s only harder to because laws and organizing a lot of information can be confusing and gets them lost. Additionally, a teens future is very important to them and they want the best for themselves rather than kids in the 1960’s didn't half to worry as much. Overall, teens have a lot of stress today compared to the average teen in the 1960’s due to a lot of common

Founded in early February 2015, Teens for Teens is a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization and Political Action Committee (PAC) created by Benjamin Burstein, a student at Miami Beach Senior High School. With a dedication to youth political representation, Burstein created Teens for Teens to be a voice in local governments, elections, and political spheres for the youth of South Florida. As the youngest director of a PAC in the country, Burstein has worked countless hours to register students to vote, host candidate debates, lobby to lower the voting age in local elections, and to give students a medium to participate in local political systems.
