Description

Young people come to realize, once in a while painfully early, that it isn’t at all times imaginable to depend on adults to make sure they are treated safely, fairly, and legally. When teens are faced with situations that are unfair, immoral, illegal, and unjust, they do not need to be sufferers. They may be able to learn to speak up for themselves effectively to enhance their own lives and the lives of others. The skill of self-advocacy rarely comes naturally for teens. Self-Advocacy: The Ultimate Teen Guide offers a set of skills for young people to sort through and acquire and encourages them to speak up about what is bothering them. The book gives them helpful tools They may be able to adapt to deal with adults they must work with―and in some cases against―in order to come to a solution to their problem.

Self-Advocacy provides information teens need to have to advocate for themselves. The introduction and first three chapters give an explanation for what self-advocacy is; identify when and why it might be necessary for teens to speak up for themselves; provide a step-by-step guide on how to self-advocate successfully; and offer specific, real-world advice about how to wisely use the power of the media to publicize their cause. Seven issue-specific chapters follow. Each topic is treated in a dignified, organized, and comprehensive way, providing information teens can use and resources They may be able to draw upon. The issues and information in those chapters deal with the real world and don’t shy away from the difficulties young people encounter on a daily basis, such as personal rights, school issues, learning disabilities, physical disability, sexuality, legal issues, and foster care. Each chapter includes the voices and experiences of teens who have encountered issues and made up our minds to speak up for and get what they need. Teens who learn how to advocate for themselves and then act don’t seem to be only taking steps to right whatever wrong they have been facing, they are also preparing themselves for a successful adult life.
