Publisher Description:
Though many teens seek independence and thrills through activities that can harm them, risk-taking in adolescence does not have to be self-destructive. This book looks at the five most self-destructive adolescent behaviors: substance abuse, risky sex, self-injury, eating disorders, and suicide.
