A frank, streetwise guide for young men and women. What's the best way to minimize a hangover? Is it normal to have sex without experiencing an orgasm? How can you tell if a friend of yours is suffering from an eating disorder? Does smoking pot have long-term consequences? Does Seasonal Affective Disorder really exist? These are the questions young people are asking ... and until now, there's been no reliable book that has provided sensible, honest, and comforting answers specifically for this audience. This guide mines the best material from the eponymous award-winning Web site. From sex and relationships to alcohol and drugs to fitness and nutrition, this comprehensive handbook provides much-needed information for young adults who cannot get reliable or anonymous information from conventional channels.

This book was published in 1998, when access to the Internet was not as widespread as it is today, and it was a way of reaching people who did not have access to the website. However, with today's access to the Internet being much more widespread, I think this book has lost some of its relevance because most students will be able to access the website which contains a lot more information ("over 3,000 previously-posted questions and answers", according to the website). It is also reasonable to assume that some of the resources mentioned in the book are outdated and/or not available anymore whereas the website is kept more current. Some of the responses might need additional and updated information as well.
Nonetheless, I think this book is still a very good resource to have in a high school library because its subject matter is definitely of interest to Gr. 9-12 students. In addition, still not all high school students have access to the Internet at home (from where they would be more likely to want to access this type of website, I think), and even those who do may prefer the convenience and higher privacy afforded by a print version which can be read anywhere. Also, another reason for having this book in a high school library is that it could be used by teachers in health classes, for example, as a supplement to the class textbook. ( )
