3. Sexual Health Information for Teens: Health Tips
about Sexual Development, Human Reproduction, and
Sexually Transmitted Diseases, by Deborah A. Stanley,
Hardcover, Omnigraphics
The teen years can be a minefield of confusing and
embarrassing experiences, with transitions in every
aspect of life: interacting with family, socializing
with friends, and coping with a school workload and
perhaps a first job. Add to this burden the need to
endure the physical changes that come with puberty and
young adulthood. Teens often feel uncomfortable
discussing these changes with adults and may be
especially hesitant to approach parents or teachers with
questions about sexual health. Yet many teens do need
guidance in understanding the reproductive-health issues
they face, whether or not they are personally sexually
active. This volume of the Teen Health Series provides
information about all aspects of sexual health, from
what's normal and what's not during puberty to facts
about sexually transmitted diseases. Also addressed are
questions about hygiene, diseases of the reproductive
system that are not sexually transmitted, pregnancy and
contraception, and societal issues.
4. Mental Health Information for Teens : Health Tips
about Mental Health, by Karen Bellenir, Publisher:
Omnigraphics
Some studies suggest that as many as one in eight teens
suffer from major depression. And teens aren't immune to
other types of mental health disorders, including
anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and psychotic
illnesses. Tragically, an estimated two-third of all
young people with mental health problems are not getting
the help they need. This title in the Teen Health Series
provides teenagers with needed information about the
causes of mental health problems, warning signs, and
treatment options. It also provides tips on such topics
as developing a positive self-image, making and keeping
friends, understanding emotional development, handling
anger and stress, and overcoming trauma. Directories of
resources, including toll-free telephone numbers and
Internet addresses, are also provided.

attention. This new edition provides a thorough update
on the latest medical advice, including data on
anti-malarial drugs, insect repellents, and
