Growing Up for Boys prepares boys for what to expect from puberty and offers advice on how to cope with the physical, psychological, and emotional changes, ensuring they stay happy and confident through their early teens.

This frank and friendly book provides guidance on what to expect from puberty, and how to remain positive and self-assured as one navigates various changes. It covers all the topics that teens are curious about, including moods and feelings, changes in boys' and girls' bodies, diet, exercise, body image, sex and relationships, sexuality, consent, contraception, sexual health, and self-confidence.

Additionally, it addresses issues such as drink and drugs, exam stress, and cyberbullying. The book includes helpful tips and fact boxes, quick quizzes, and links to carefully researched websites that enhance the information presented.

While Growing Up for Boys is written with teen boy readers in mind, it uses inclusive language to encompass all sexualities and to promote respect across all genders.
