Teen Guide Book Review - The 6 Most Important Decisions You Will Ever Make - A Guide for Teens, by Sean Covey
|
|
Sean Covey writes a book from the heart, somewhat passionate for
teens. He guides teens through career choices. Gives an inspiring pep talk to attend and complete college, shows them the hows whys and wherefores of avoiding premarital sex,
pornography, drugs and drinking. How to successful get through teenage years as a virgin. The information on
pornography and drugs is excellent. If any parent is struggling with either of these two problems with their teens, it is good information to share with them.
Young people in school who looked through this book almost always looked first towards the section on dating and sex. It is pretty complete. Many young people are lost in direction on these matters, and Mr. Covey does a good job in putting a useful tool and inspirational book to help young people stay on the straight and narrow. It is not what you would say a religious oriented book, but it does espouse high principles.
It is heavy in graphics and illustrations and experiences. It diverges from some of the thoughts on this website with regards to
movies. Mr. Covey is something of a movie aficionado and gives his favorites list. In this opinion, it is not necessarily what teens need to hear at the present time, but with that in mind, Covey's book for teens does have good material for young people to digest and take home with them, especially with regards to
porn and drugs.
This is an excellent school or public library book.
