ONE TO ONE

As today's teenagers face the tough realities of harmful relationships, drugs, alcohol and loneliness, finding comfort and guidance can seem impossible. One to One, produced by Boys Town, a social services facility in Omaha, Nebraska, for troubled youths, provides six discussions of some of the most complex subjects. Each discussion is a dialogue between an actual advisor from Boys Town and a teen. While the teens sound overrehearsed, the professional advisors are skilled speakers who use a relaxed, honest, sometimes humorous approach to cover their topics. Fortunately, the advisors do most of the talking, making the tapes useful and palatable to both teens and parents. E.W.S. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 97]
