Tough Stuff for Teens

  • Conversation Starters
  • Curiosity Quenchers
  • Empathy Builders
  • Interest Sparkers

Tough Stuff for Teens was created for readers in grades 6 and up. Not every subject or book is appropriate for every reader so consider, read, share and discuss!

Tough Stuff categories are broken up into 3 categories based on content (not reading level):

  • Tough -- the tamest category is appropriate for *most* middle school readers.
  • Tougher -- this category is slightly more challenging and is geared toward young high school readers.
  • Toughest -- this category is probably best suited for mature high school students and adults.

*These categories are completely subjective. If you have questions or concerns,
please email Sharon.*

Tough Stuff Purple contains recommendations for books on Family, Sex & Pregnancy, Body Image, Religion, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues, Illness & Therapy and Disabilities.

 

Tough Stuff Green contains recommendations for books on War, Bullying, Violence, Abuse, Rape, Suicide and Death.
