Das Jungs-Buch

The Boys' Book:
A cheeky companion through the fabulously complicated world of boys who are no longer quite teenagers but not yet fully grown up. Boys for whom "school" ranks somewhere below "okay" on the popularity scale. Boys who are permanently hitting the brakes when it comes to communication with their parents. They act "cool" all the time but still struggle with their insecurities. Boys who like girls but have no clue how to actually interact with them.
In 16 chapters, The Boys' Book provides (almost) everything a boy around 16 needs: always honest and open, always at eye level, and without taboos. The Boys' Book offers answers to pressing questions: How does this weird "romance" thing actually work? What’s so interesting about a female body? Should you really close your eyes when kissing? How the hell does "petting" work? And we should also talk about sex... Just like the basics of proper behavior, dealing with annoyingly persistent parents, and how to solve problems without smashing all the doors. In short: How to become a man!

The Topic
Boys at 16, parents and children agree, truly have it tough. They can drink beer and wine, but not whiskey and vodka. They can take summer jobs but cannot vote. This is convenient since they have no interest in politics anyway. They are usually too tired for school – but when it comes to parties or online games, they suddenly become wide awake. And then there’s the whole time-consuming and annoyingly wonderful thing with girls and all the other things that seem much more interesting than abstract future planning.
Author Stephan Borchers, as a practicing teacher, knows exactly what today’s boys are concerned about and provides a varied collection of exciting facts and backgrounds that can genuinely help the reader navigate through the madness of adolescence.
