The No Book for Teenagers Susan Louise Peterson

The No Book for Teenagers seeks to help teenagers understand why adults (such as parents and teachers say 'no' to them. Teenagers literally have thousands' of requests and these requests can cause major disagreements between teens and adults. Parents and teachers are often helping teenagers understand the 'bigger picture' and some of the challenges they may be facing now and in the future. The book is written by Susan Louise Peterson, a school psychologist who has worked with teens in the inner city schools of Las Vegas, Nevada. As Susan emphasizes in the book, the word 'no' can be connected to many things. She helps teens explore the various meanings connected with a 'no' response.
