The world is changing.

Just like the others members of your generation, your perspective of the world is markedly different than your family's...

It is pretty normal for you to have some minor conflicts or disputes with your parents and teachers.

It is only natural for you to desire freedom, to worry about the future, and to easily embrace technology...

For you crave to understand and to be understood.

I hear you, and really understand you...

I am Prof. Nevzat Tarhan.

I didn't write this book just to hand out some advice to you. You can consider what I wrote as tips from a friend, a fellow traveler on this journey called life. All I wrote here is intended to help you to move past your problems, have a loving and confident perspective on life, and therefore, enjoy your youth in a conscious manner.

I am sure you will find this book a very fluent narrative, and I am sure your parents and teachers will also have an easy time reading it, when they want to get a better understanding of you... Doing so may perhaps help them decipher what you had not put in so many words, and prove valuable for them in their endeavor to understand you...

Perhaps you will personally recommend this book to them...

My young friend...

Rest assured, the future waiting you is much nicer and hopeful than your dreams...

Just start reading, and be conscious of your youth, if only to enjoy it better...
