\"As World War II threatens the United States in 1941, fourteen-year-old Junior Bledsoe fights his own battles at home. Junior struggles with school and with anger--at his father, his insufferable granddaddy, his neighbors, and himself--as he desperately tries to understand himself and find his own aim in life. But he finds relief in escaping to the quiet of the nearby woods and tinkering with cars, something he learned from his Pop, and a fatherly neighbor provides much-needed guidance\"--Amazon.com.

Girlfighting
Offers a developmental explanation for girlfighting and
pathways to build girl allies For some time, reality TV,
talk shows, soap-operas, and sitcoms have turned their spotlights
on women and girls who thrive on competition and nastiness. Few
fairytales lack the evil stepmother, wicked witch, or jealous
sister. Even cartoons feature mean and sassy girls who only become
sweet and innocent when adults appear. And recently, popular books
and magazines have turned their gaze away from ways of positively
influencing girls' independence and self-esteem and towards the
topic of girls' meanness to other girls. What does this say about
the way our culture views girlhood? How much do these portrayals
affect the way girls view themselves? In
Girlfighting , psychologist and educator Lyn Mikel
Brown scrutinizes the way our culture nurtures and reinforces this
sort of meanness in girls. She argues that the old adage \"girls
will be girls\"-gossipy, competitive, cliquish, backstabbing- and
the idea that fighting is part of a developmental stage or a
rite-of-passage, are not acceptable explanations. Instead, she
asserts, girls are discouraged from expressing strong feelings and
are pressured to fulfill unrealistic expectations, to be popular,
and struggle to find their way in a society that still reinforces
gender stereotypes and places greater value on boys. Under such
pressure, in their frustration and anger, girls (often
unconsciously) find it less risky to take out their fears and
anxieties on other girls instead of challenging the ways boys treat
them, the way the media represents them, or the way the culture at
large supports sexist practices. Girlfighting
traces the changes in girls' thoughts, actions and feelings from
childhood into young adulthood, providing the developmental
understanding and theoretical explanation often lacking in other
conversations. Through interviews with over 400 girls of diverse
racial, economic, and geographic backgrounds, Brown chronicles the
labyrinthine journey girls take from direct and outspoken children
who like and trust other girls, to distrusting and competitive
young women. She argues that this familiar pathway can and should
be interrupted and provides ways to move beyond girlfighting to
build girl allies and to support coalitions among girls. By
allowing the voices of girls to be heard, Brown demonstrates the
complex and often contradictory realities girls face, helping us to
better understand and critique the socializing forces in their
lives and challenging us to rethink the messages we send them.

Working with anger and young people
Understanding the roots of anger and encouraging appropriate and acceptable ways of expressing this are essential skills for anyone working with young people. Working with Anger and Young People warns against 'quick fix' solutions to dealing with anger, and draws on the author's experiences of youth counselling and training workshops to propose helpful interventions for addressing anger effectively and moving on from it.
From attachment anxieties and feelings of powerlessness, to frustration at difficult family relations, Nick Luxmoore considers the common reasons for young people's anger during this difficult stage of their development. Through accounts of his work with a range of young people, he offers tried-and-tested exercises and talking points to help work through common counterproductive responses to anger such as antisocial behaviour and physical or verbal violence. Crucially, he also recognises the needs of those working with these young people with anger problems and provides advice on working safely, maintaining control and achieving job satisfaction.
This sensitive, accessible book will be an informative and engaging resource for anyone working with young people with anger issues.
