Author Melody Carlson
 Today's Challenges for Teens
Thursday, November 19, 2009

With more than fifty young adult novels, Melody Carlson’s writings tackle many of the unique challenges faced by today’s youth. From risky online relationships, cyber-bullying and ‘sexting,’ to peer pressure about physical appearance and the materialism of fashion mania, teens are bombarded by conflicting ideals, images and messages 24/7.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – teens still have all the regular challenges of growing up, too. In her presentation, Carlson will discuss some ways to deal with the rough ride through adolescence.
