Teen stress is epidemic! Popularity issues, controlling parents and never ending schoolwork may be the tip of the iceberg, but for most teens today, the bigger issues below the surface include depression, self-mutilation, broken homes, peer pressure, Ritalin dependency, and the threat of school violence. The consequences of these fears and frustrations manifest in various ways from self-mutilation and school violence to alienation and overeating. By and large, today's teens need better coping skills for stress!

Inspired by the disaster at Columbine High School, Hot Stones and Funny Bones, offers a treasure trove of valuable coping skills on topics from anger (Hot Stones) management, boosting self-esteem and self-reliance to meditation and comic relief (tickling the funny bone). The book contains dialogue, artwork and poetry from teens sharing their thoughts feelings, and insights, integrated with valuable information from the author, this is the first book written specifically for teens on these issues, and ways to successfully cope with challenging life issues.
