Teen Reviewer Comments Many school-age kids have problems making friends and dealing with change and this video gives step-by-step instructions on how to deal with these issues.This DVD is definitely geared toward younger children. I think high schoolers and older teens would not take it seriously, and already know a lot of this information from experience. It also has jokes that would appeal to younger kids.
