Do You Have What It Takes?

(Formerly titled “ON YOUR OWN”)

For over ten years, young adults of Represent magazine have written about charging off to their own apartments only to learn how lonely they are and losing first jobs due to conflicts with bosses. These stories engage teens and prepare them not only for the practical challenges they will face on the road to independence, but also the emotional ones. Worksheets and exercises will help you plan for your future. Activity pages at the end of each chapter will help your social workers, independent living instructors, and other leaders use the stories with you or in groups.
