Foreword

The process of growing up and passing through adolescence has been characterized by great inner turmoil, uncertainty, and tremendous pressures from family, close friends and peer groups. Certainly, in our complex society, the problems youths now face seem more marked than ever before.

The teenagers in this story are embarking on their own special journeys into that wondrous, ill-defined state of adolescence. They find themselves plagued by powerful emotions, sometimes feeling uncertain about their awakening sexuality's, sometimes becoming angered over their youthful misjudgments. Through their encounters with each other, and with their loving and concerned adult counterparts, they manage to put their worlds into perspective and begin coping with their new feelings and responding to new situations.

SCANDAL SCHOOL -- the story of typical young Americans coming of age. It is a lesson to us all, and a reminder that the journey to adulthood is not often easy.
