Through his lived experience of listening to young people, the author has learned that often what teens think and feel most deeply might not be what adults think. Young people struggle to find their own voice in their families, in the Church, and in the larger world community. What Teens Want You to Know articulates things young people want adults to know but won’t tell them, such as issues on relationship with their parents and other adults in their life, acceptance of teen behavior, their desire to serve, and much more.
