Some of the problems my moms have experienced with their teenage sons are drug use, truancy, not coming home at night, anger, depression, and, unfortunately, arrests. These experiences have interfered with my moms' ability to be present in class. I was able to share the book "What to do for Teen Health" (Easy to Read/Easy to Use) with one of my students, but I was curious whether anyone knows of a good fiction or personal essay resource either from a mom's or teenager's point of view. Thanks. Hillary Gardner, Instructor Center for Immigrant Education and Training La Guardia Community College 29-10 Thomson Avenue, Room C231 Long Island City, NY 11101 718-482-5067
