Parents of teenagers take note. The two most overused and mundane questions you can ask your teen are “How was your day?” and “What did you do?”
Scott Fried dedicates his new book to the ten questions he wishes he had been asked as a teenager. In A Private Midnight: A Teenager’s Scrapbook of Secrets, Fried reveals through the anonymous submission of answers from teenagers around the world that their unspoken fears, questions and restrained hope need to find a voice. A Private Midnight is an encouraging guide for parents and teachers who are struggling to understand what lies beneath a teenager’s silence.
A strong, powerful and very insightful book written with letters, poems and art by teens who Scott had come in contact with. His story motivates him to be very open. He creates awareness for both teens and parents on the subjects of sexuality, suicide, and self. He is a fabulous speaker who really understands teens.
