Teenagers would benefit from books like this to help guide them through pressure and life with overwhelming media and trends. Thank you for this review, it was lovely.

This would have been a great book for me when I was a teenager (back in the Stone Age). It is extremely well crafted, and I highly recommend it to our youth who are struggling through teenage angst. Congrats, Mr. Schaefer! You've done a fine thing here!

If a reader is expecting an easy read, they should reconsider this title. The information in this book is deep and requires a heightened sense of understanding to apply the information given by the author. I enjoyed reading about what thinking is truly about and the author’s explanation of the two sides to every person. Mr. Jerry explained these ideas more deeply in the section about in-person and online bullying. I liked that he chose to include them in the bullying section of the book because it was easy to see how they are used to handle bullying.

This paragraph here! Excellent explanation of what the book entails. This a is a great review.

When I was a teenager, pre social media era, I was very shy and insecure. I wish I had some advice or read a book during those times. This book will be very helpful to parents with teenagers and to the teenagers themselves.

Cruising Through The Teens Easier than It Seems written by Jerry Schaefer
is a good book for teenagers, to read. I like how the author put in some illustrations that, I seen so far. I think most teenagers at some point in their
lives, thinks no one know what they are going through. I would be interested in reading more of this book. Congrats to the author on being BOTD.

Steering through teenage years is almost always very challenging to both the teens and their parents. This book sounds like a very informative book that focuses on teenage years and how to navigate easily. It'll make an interesting read.
Thanks for the honest review.

Becoming a teenager is definitely a difficult time - body changes, hormone changes, questions of where do you position yourself in the world. A book to help someone through this phase can only be a good thing. I liked the formatting with the use of images.

This book is timely with all the bullying, pressures, assumptions and expectations that teens or young adults are facing. Good job.

On reading this review, I realised that this book pertains to my current situation of seeking full time employment without a college degree or diploma. Although I dont fall into the stipulated age range of 19 - 50, at 72 yrs, it can be a challenging experience. I do believe that there are many folk around the world who find themselves in a similar situation, and who would benefit from reading this book.

Very nice review, although I disagree a bit, the use of foul language could attract teenagers to such a book. It contains illuminating advice about the way an adult should understand and treat teenagers, and about the way their mind works. I will definitely use this book with my students.

This sounds like a good book for everyone going through their teens, especially with how it tries to deal with issues of peer pressure and situational control. Should be on every parents bookshelf to enable their children prepare for teen years and their pressures.

I do not have children and rarely have interactions with teenagers, so this book may not be of much use to me. However, the review highlights areas that are critical to a teener's life; parents and teachers may benefit from the author's wisdom. The children themselves could stand to learn a lot from the book, if they will find the time to read it.
