"Adolescence is the time of exciting milestones-such as first relationships-but also of difficult new experiences, such as the first pangs of jealousy and the first breakup. This title offers guidance for teens struggling with jealousy issues or coping with the fallout of a breakup. Although problem jealousy can be corrosive, it can be managed if the issue is acknowledged and addressed. Breakups are difficult ordeals for teenagers, but time, self-care, supportive friends, and coping tactics can help mend a broken heart. When teens learn to support healthy relationships in adolescence, it will serve them well in adulthood"--Provided by publisher.
