Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:

Why is my voice making such weird sounds? When will I be able to start shaving? Why do I keep getting pimples? What is a wet dream?

 

Your body has been behaving very strangely lately. You hardly know what to expect from one day to the next. Karen Gravelle, with some help from her two young advisors, Nick and Chava Castro, has written a down-to-earth and practical book that will help guide you through this confusing time in your life. What's Going On Down There? answers any questions you might have about puberty, from what it is and what it feels like, to what puberty is like for girls, to how to handle the sexual feelings you may be starting to experience. Robert Leighton's funny and informative cartoons ease the confusion and exasperation you might feel.

 

Part manual, part older brother, What's Going On Down There? will give you the facts you need to feel comfortable and confident about this new phase of your life.

User popularity level: out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Extremely dangerous words in chapter nine!!!!!
I just want all parents out there to understand that while "sexually experimenting with other boys" (chapter nine) may be "normal", it can also easily be considered a CRIME for which your son can be prosecuted.


BE CAREFUL WITH THIS BOOK!!!!!!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Just what I needed!
My son went through puberty early (10), and was too embarrassed to talk about anything. I gave him the book. He read it (he hid it, so I have no idea when he would sneak a peak!), and then when I would bring up things, he already knew about them, or would finally ask questions. It actually went along quite well with his school "family planning" program they have in the fifth grade. And I'm talking about a Catholic school!

I am more liberal than my husband, and I found this book didn't offend either my conservative husband or my more liberal feelings.

A must!


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Parent Supervision A MUST!!
This book contains a wealth of information. Most pre teen and young teen boys need the information this book provides, but use caution. You should read it very first and decide if it is right for your household and values. I had my son read the very first half which I felt was age appropriate and valuable. However, the second half discusses sex in a very casual nature. If your target reader is 10 to 14 years old the word abstinence should be mentioned at least once! Statements in the book seem to give permission to become sexually active if the reader feels he is ready. Plenty of boys "feel" they are ready long before they have reach the maturity level to handle the consequences of sex. We read each chapter in the second half and discussed them together. This allowed me the opportunity as the parent to be sure our household beliefs were upheld and gave me a chance to comment on statements that I felt were reckless, such as the comments on boys masturbating with each other, which could have legal consequences. Also, the statements regarding childbirth not being necessarily painful was almost laughable. There are also comments about being asked by a stranger in the men's restroom to perform sexual acts and the books suggests that the reader tell someone "if you can". In the world we live in the author needs to have been more responsible with her statements.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - puberty education
Great book for my nephew - he enjoyed reading it and asking me questions a bout it.


Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Not for younger boys
I purchased this book and "What's Happening to Me?" for my 11 y/o son. He read "What's Happening to Me?" with no problem. He started reading this book the same day. He brought it out to me after reading 3 chapters and said he wasn't ready for it and didn't want to read any more of it. He came back out a little later *very* upset by what he had read, crying and saying he couldn't live with it. It took him 2 hours to calm down enough to go to bed. He asked me to write this review. He says the book goes into too much detail about the sex aspect. He said he thought the book would tell what happens during puberty but this book dealt too much with sex.
