Thank goodness my son is still relatively normal. I checked this book out from the library simply out of curiosity and to see if anything I read pertained to my son, or if I should be watching for anything. So far, so good. But for parents of teens, this is a good guide book if you ever wonder why your child is withdrawn, or sleeps all the time or is displaying mysterious behavior (outside of the normal realm of a teen anyway). After reading (most of) this book, I am not rest assured that my son is going through normal phases of life; however, I now know the signs to watch for that spell trouble. A must read for parents of teens!
