This is a perfect tool to help students with social
challenges better understand the confusing social world they
live in. It teaches them how to handle many social situations
with teen appropriate behavior.
From its intriguing title to the tongue-in-cheek ideas for
dealing with many kinds of situations, teenagers will find this
manual humorous, non-threatening, entertaining, and educational.
It discusses loads of topics that students with social skill
challenges need to learn about. In fact, it teaches lots of
skills that we may never think about teaching.
The narrative is light and lively. The advice is realistic and
practical. The situations covered in the question-and-answer
format far exceed those found in other etiquette books. Section
headings include:
- "Sex-Ediquette" (realistic rules for
relationships with the opposite sex)
- Toiletiquette, (polite bathroom-sharing)
- Netiquette (cyberspace behavior codes)
- The correct way to answer an invitation
- Which fork to use at a formal dinner
- All of the standard behaviors for life in what
once was called a "proper"

There are many scenarios, from sexual situations to in-line
skating, that will be relevant to today's teenagers. The book
asks many questions that students would not be able to ask an
adult, yet they urgently need answers. They will certainly find
guidance here.
Charts listing options for correct or incorrect behavior with
probable outcomes appear throughout. Anecdotal snippets are
titled "True Stories from the Manners Frontier."
Survey results that show what teens think and then what parents
and teachers think about the same issues are presented. This
volume is far more useful than any traditional etiquette book.
Students will return to it again and again as they face new and
different situations.
