All of my books are appropriate in the sense that they deal with real life issues from a Christian perspective. But the ones I think they would enjoy most are A Moment of Weakness, Even Now followed by Ever After, and Redemption Series. Also A Thousand Tomorrows, and the Firstborn Series. Many teens have also enjoyed my 9-11 Series.

Definitely. Clear5 works equally well to stop both teenage and adult acne. In fact, a large percentage of our customers are adults. You may want to read our guide on understanding adult acne in order to find out more about this condition.

It is not true. The side effect in taking L-glutathione is the whitening of the skin already. In fact I have read about whitening capsules containing Tyrostat (L Tyrosine), that makes the hair gray/white. Research has proved that it's much better to take the whitening capsules with an empty stomach.

While no prevention method short of abstinence is 100% effective, using a latex condom offers some protection. Your partner should tell you when symptoms flare up, which is when the virus is most contagious. Avoid sex when your partner has symptoms.

Parent penguins feed themselves but store some of the food in their stomachs until they arrive at the nest. The parent penguin then regurgitates (throws up) this stored food into the beak of the hungry chick.

Diagnosis of infants is hampered because babies born to HIV-infected mothers can test positive for antibodies acquired from their mothers for as long as 15 months after birth. Without treatment, only a portion of these infants (current estimates range from 16 percent to 25 percent in North America and Europe) are actually infected with HIV. In these cases, a positive antibody test alone is not sufficient to confirm that the infant is infected with HIV.

Male-pattern hair loss typically is seen from 20s and early 30s, but can also be found as early as 15. Hair loss in young adults may also be due to other causes like Alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, can occur in children as young as one year of age.

You can’t get pregnant through oral sex, or through masturbation. But if you are fooling around with your partner and there is any genital contact, especially where fluid is involved, there is a chance that you can become pregnant. This can even happen if he touches his own semen and then touches your vagina with his hands. If you want to make sure that you don’t become pregnant, make sure you use a condom, or avoid having contact with his genitals and fluids.

No. This isn't an anti-smoking crusade. Most teenagers who smoke think they can quit whenever they want. They won't know they have a gorilla on their backs until they have tried to quit a couple of times. That's when they will be ready for this program.

Since this is an important issue for cockroach biologists I constructed a page to explain it as I understand it from Mary Ross and Don Cochran, and have used this technique for decades. It is almost fool-proof: we are moving. And we have a problem with big huge roaches in our house, mainly kitchen and bathroom. I am VERY worried that during packing and moving the roaches will jump into my suitcases and nest in my clothes!!!!! What can I tell you? Cockroach larvae will hide anywhere they can.

Yes. They will enjoy the “paddle raft.” Everyone works together as a team to maneuver the raft down the river. Often there are water fights and raft races. Some people swim or jump off rocks. The trip can also be educational as our guides know local history, geology, birds, flowers, salmon, gold mining and other lore. These trips are well-rounded entertainment for all ages. (See photo of paddle raft in Photo Gallery.)

Bill C-2’s new offence against the sexual exploitation of youth under 18 years age recognizes that sexual predators - whether they are much older or close in age - seek to exploit the particular circumstances or vulnerabilities of young persons.

Young people have the desire to feel grown up and peer pressure makes them anxious not to miss the "right moment". Young people have sex maybe from a desire for intimacy or pleasure, for fun or curiosity or because of feeling in love. But often it can be for other kinds of complicated reasons. Maybe they think it is the thing to do, or feel pressure from friends or the media or are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Oral and anal sex are considered to be fairly safe in terms of getting pregnant, but if any semen gets in or around the vaginal opening then there could be a chance of pregnancy. Of course it still depends on ovulation as well. If you have had sexual intercourse then there could be a chance of pregnancy, but the only way to find out is to take a pregnancy test (see the resource list at the end of the FAQ).

Yes, it is possible to become infected with HIV through vaginal intercourse. In fact, it is the most common way the virus is transmitted in much of the world. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. The lining of the vagina can tear and possibly allow HIV to enter the body. Direct absorption of HIV through the mucous membranes that line the vagina also is a possibility.

Can you get STDs or HIV by having anal sex? Answers: The only way you could get pregnant by having anal sex is if sperm leaked into the vagina. All STDs and HIV can be transmitted through anal sex. If you have anal sex, use a condom to protect against STDs including HIV.

Premenstrual symptoms can begin anytime after a woman begins to menstruate and, on average, menstruation begins at around 12 ½ years of age in the U.S. Women tend to seek treatment for premenstrual symptoms in their late twenties and early to mid-thirties, so it is difficult to know exactly when milder premenstrual symptoms actually become severe enough to be considered PMDD. Even though PMDD is usually first diagnosed after adolescence, it can certainly occur in teenagers.
