The 21st-century guidebook of life safety skills for teens, their parents, and other caregivers, covering physical safety, sexual consent, social media, your rights with the police, situational awareness, dating violence, smartphones and more. Young people coming of age today face new risks, expectations and laws that didnt exist when their parents were young. This book provides teens, tweens and young adults with up-to-date, realistic strategies to protect themselves against the pitfalls of modern adolescence. Author Jonathan Cristall, once a troubled teen himself and now a veteran prosecutor for the City of Los Angeles, works extensively with teenagers and their families to teach physical, digital, emotional and legal safety skills. Drawing on Cristalls hands-on experience, this book gives parents and other caregivers techniques for talking to their children about these urgent issues. The book gives sound advice on police interactions and personal safety (your constitutional rights, what to do/not do when stopped by the police while driving, situational awareness, street robberies, gun violence); sexual violence and misconduct (sexual consent, sexual harassment prevention, dating violence, sextortion); and staying safer online (digital footprint and citizenship, cyberbullying, underage sexting, on-line porn). A must-read for all families, What They Dont Teach Teens is filled with practical guidance, thoughtful insight and simple-to-use tips and tactics that will empower young people to make good choices now and into the future.
