Tough Guys and Drama Queens by Mark Gregston

The book is pretty sound and the author sold me on the fact that he has a lot of experience dealing with youths. What the book basically boils down to is that young people today do not walk by each other on the street and say hey, or knod. They ignore each other and then whip out the technology and text each other or facebook then or tweet it. But they do not talk it. They do not talk, period. Try to get them to talk, find a way to spend time with them to get them to open up. This by no means details the book but it will give you a feel for it. I dont know that I would say the book deals much with theraputic teens, but it seems like a good resource for dealing with your typical, wont openup, you cant relate to me, teenager. The book is paperback, and an easy read. I liked it, it flowed well; I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Its a good investment if you teach or otherwise work with teens or if you would just like to reach out to one whether its yours or someone elses. Time spent looking after a child is never wasted. This book is a good resource.
