Teens

what we're really thinking (when we're not saying anything)
Paul Bühre (trans. David Shaw)

A great read. Every teenager will be able to relate to something in this book, and adults will understand more about what their teen is going through. Few other books provide so accurate an insight into the adolescent brain.

'Straight from the frontline of teenage life, it takes you deep inside the mind of a (rather smart) 15 year old to bring you the agonies and ecstasy of modern adolescence. Teens is full of hilarious home truths, toe-curling moments, and reminders of what it feels like in the daily battle to appear ‘cool’.'

Suzanne Franks, author of Get Out of My Life … But First Take Me & Alex Into Town: the bestselling parent’s guide to the new teenager

A Top Five bestseller in Germany.

Teenagers are people too! But what kind?

Slaves to consumerism, ruined by porn, and always willing to trade in Granny’s Christmas present for a bag of weed or a vodka and Red Bull? Until now, we’ve always seen the lives of adolescents through the eyes of worried parents, overworked and overstressed teachers, or even family therapists. Now, for the first time, a 15-year-old lifts the lid on what makes teenagers tick.

Here is an insider’s report on the adolescent world of social media, computer games, fashion, love in the age of the internet, and those moments when everything just seems to get on top of you. And on parents, who only want the best for their offspring, but always seem to end up achieving just the opposite.
