(Filed under: Society)A new book (subscription or commercial required) explores the transition to adolescence and concludes that teen girls aren't the drug-addicted, eating-disordered monsters the media says they are. I could have told you that.

Bad things can happen, but expecting the worst from teens doesn't help anyone. My Girl: Adventures With a Teen in Training is probably better reading for your parents, but the bottom line is more respect for you.
