Teen Romantic Relationships

Gr 7 Up—Narrated by a health and sexuality educator, this documentary presents honest information about romantic relationships for teens in terms of dating, love, and sex. Discussions by actual teen couples and singles are divided into six chapters: "The Dating Scene," "It's On," "The Good Stuff," "The Tough Stuff," "Love and Sex," and "What's Next?" Topics such as casual hook ups, long-term relationships, commitment, communication, trust, honesty, respect, compromise, jealousy, unfaithfulness, sex before and after marriage, peer pressures, and break ups are discussed openly. Emphasis is placed on the serious aspects of romantic relationships. The strength of this program is the open and honest presentation of information by real teens. A suitable purchase to enhance teen health collections.—Linda M. Teel, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC
