There's a Kind of Pain Called Growing Up

This book is not an exposé of the private lives of teenage boys and girls, but a panoramic portrait of young people going through adolescence. It not only records the confusion, pain, uncertainty, and hesitation they face as they grow up, as well as the laughter and insights they find after basking in the sun and weathering the storms, but also offers them various ways of thinking and handling things to choose from. More importantly, it is a rare declaration of youth written for adults.
