November 1990 Teen Life: Dates, Vegetarians & Sleep

Start listening

Let’s all open up a new issue together! Yes, the first feature is a dispiriting profile of Bill, who only recently left foster care to reunite with his family. But there’s also dating, sleeping, a primer on becoming a vegetarian, and a truly classic fiction story. What He Said is all about your potty mouth; Body Talk is telling you about a new-fangled piece of exercise gear known as a step; Help For Him addresses bad smells Down There…and more! Grab a tall glass of orange juice and listen!
