What Teens Need to Succeed

You've got the power to shape your future, change your life for the better, and make a difference in the lives of people around you. This book tells you how.

Open it anywhere to learn how you can start building assets. Not financial assets, but developmental assets -- good things you need in your life and in yourself. Things like: a loving, supportive family; a neighborhood where people care about each other; a school where everyone is safe and free to learn; self-esteem; creativity; integrity; conflict resolution skills; a sense of purpose. And that's just for starters.

Why should you build assets? Because they form a strong foundation for your life! They have a positive influence on the choices you make and the actions you take. They protect you from risky behaviors. They make you a person who other people look up to, count on, trust and respect.
