Okay, we are totally aware that this page is generally reserved for the few awesome movie flicks we want to share with the local teen population. However, after reading Chat Room Chatter, by Justin Lookadoo, we had to get the word out about its humorous and honest relevance to issues relating to teen dating, sexuality, self image and much more. While the book is written from a Christian point of view, the approach Justin uses to deal with these topics can be readily received, understood and applied by those who profess any faith...or none at all. Justin candidly discusses issues like handling breakups, what it means to "go too far"...and how to deal with that stalker girl from second period that just won't leave you alone. This book will have you laughing, agreeing and talking about these issues with your friends the first time you read it. Justin's ability to relate to teens is amazing and you will find yourself among the many examples he uses to explore these issues. Girls, guys...don't miss out on this one. It will change the way you look, think and act toward your peers, as well help you to understand your self worth. Enjoy!
