Young people coming of age today face new risks, expectations, and laws that didn't exist when their parents were young. What They Don't Teach Teens provides teens, tweens, and young adults with up-to-date, realistic strategies to protect themselves against the pitfalls of modern adolescence.

Author Jonathan Cristall, once a troubled teen himself and now a veteran prosecutor for the City of Los Angeles and a sexual violence prevention instructor, works extensively with teenagers and their families to teach physical, digital, emotional, and legal safety skills. Drawing on Cristall's hands-on experience, What They Don't Teach Teens gives parents and other caregivers techniques for talking to their children about these urgent issues.

What They Don't Teach Teens gives sound advice on police interactions and personal safety (your constitutional rights, what to do/not do when stopped by the police while driving, situational awareness, street robberies, gun violence); sexual violence and misconduct (sexual consent, sexual harassment prevention, dating violence, sextortion); and staying safer online (digital footprint and citizenship, cyberbullying, underage sexting, online porn).

A must-read for all families, What They Don't Teach Teens is filled with practical guidance, thoughtful insight, and simple-to-use tips and tactics that will empower young people to make good choices now and into the future.

Germs are invisible to the human eye. They are tiny and minute and can only be seen under a powerful electronic microscope. Undenounced to people, they hide in plain sight. They are everywhere and on everything and are found all over the World. They can affect people anytime and anywhere without warning.

Despite being so tiny, germs are powerful, and strong while people can be weak and vulnerable. They are also dangerous and there is no way to avoid them. Germs make people sick - extremely sick.

Luckily throughout the World there are many health agencies and health professionals trying to prevent spread of disease-causing germs and help people stay healthy. However, their help is not enough if people fail to take care of their own personal health and hygiene and neglect to wash their hands more frequently.

According to the public health agencies, the most effective way for people to prevent getting sick is by thoroughly washing their hands before and after many tasks. They recommend using soap and water and appropriate handwashing procedures. By proper handwashing, people can prevent spread of disease germs to others and keep themselves and their loved ones from getting sick.

In addition, parents, teachers, and educators can work with children at their early age on how to properly wash their hands by guiding them and showing them the correct procedures. To help children learn, adults can demonstrate good hand washing through fun filled handwashing activities. Some of which are demonstrated in this guide Washing Germs Down the Drain.

Working with young children is the best way to promote effective behavioral changes for the future generations with the anticipation that change in behavior in children will continue through their growing years, their adult lives and into old age with the hopes of decreases the spread of illness to self and others from lack of handwashing.

Germs have no idea how destructive they could be, but it is up to people to make changes to their lifestyles so they can be safe, keep others safe and help everyone stay healthy.

In early 2018, teen-led March for Our lives events across the United States protested gun violence, demanded change to save lives, and registered voters toward that end. This authoritative exploration of guns, gun violence, and gun control explores the Second Amendment, the history of guns and gun laws in the United States, legal restrictions to gun ownership, and the devastation of mass shootings. Through an objective look at individual versus collective rights, readers will be able to offer well-informed answers to questions such as should young people own assault rifles? What about terrorists and the mentally ill? Read the book to make an informed argument and support your point of view.

In my second self-help book, I will go over the areas where self-discipline, moderation, responsible behavior or even complete rejection are necessary in order to avoid more serious troubles and problems.

Examples include alcohol consumption, drug use, smoking, presence on social media or the dangers of road traffic.
The book will also discuss certain local and global dangers that it is good to be aware of, not only as a young person, but at any stage of life.

In some places, I will support it with data and I will illustrate by presenting real trends how much of a problem in many places and how many people's lives are made difficult by the above-mentioned alcohol, drugs and smoking, as well as the unfortunately becoming more and more frequent road accidents. I will also show why it is important to have empathy if we want to live a responsible but also free life.

In addition to these, I also touch on the topic of poverty, exclusion, inequalities and the disadvantages of excessive materialism, as well as sports and a healthy lifestyle, which we also have to approach responsibly and humbly if we want to live a good and lovable life in all respects .
