Hi,

This is the second time one of my ESOL students is the mother of a
troubled teen and I am wondering if anyone can recommend any good
reading materials at the ESOL level that address this subject.

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.
