It covers a wide range of issues, such as masturbation, pornography, alcohol, handling rejection, fitting in, discovering passions, conflict with parents, and peer pressure. As a parent, it’s essential not to ignore these challenges your children may be facing. Engaging in open discussions about these topics or providing them with this book can be highly beneficial.

Emike Oyemade has once again gifted the youth with a book that will be valuable not only to the present generation but also to generations to come. Puberty, Love, Sex, and Other Stuff is a perfect gift for teenagers.
