Teen Sexuality Explodes in the New Novel, Torn, by Amber Lehman
Think that by not discussing the topic of sexuality with your teen it will keep them from experimenting with not only heterosexual activities, but homosexual activities as well? Don't be so sure. In today's day and age more teens are questioning their sexuality and most likely parents will be the last to know. Oftentimes there are limited resources for teens to relate to during this difficult and confusing time in their life. Literature is a major outlet for teens to turn to. - August 16, 2009 - Amber Lehman
