What Teens Want You to Know

Justin McClain

Roy Petitfils

Room 24

(but won’t tell you). From over two decades of listening to young people tell him things they were not telling their parents or anyone else, Roy Petitfils learned that what teens often think and feel most deeply might not be what others expect. Young people struggle to find their own voices--in their families, in the church, in the larger community. Too often teenagers take their needs and concerns underground and share in secret their hurts, fears and disenchantment. They console one another because for many the adult world doesn’t feel safe to them. What Teens Want You to Know gives voice to ten things teens want adults to know but probably won’t tell them.

It discusses issues such as relating to parents, acceptance of teen behavior, teens’ desire to serve, and more. Paperback , 5½ x 8½, 112 pages. (©2015)

Veritas is publisher of the Credo series, a comprehensive presentation of the Catholic faith for US high school students

The Credo series also focuses on the formation of the students as people of faith. Each chapter facilitates their reflection on the meaning of the theological content for their lives. Through prayer and meditative exercises they are helped to experience the presence of God in their lives.

Veritas is acclaimed as a publisher of high quality Religious Education textbooks and, most recently, as a provider of innovative online resources which place Information Technology at the service of Religious Education.

The Credo series has a strong social justice theme running throughout. The text moves “from life to faith to life” in a repeated pa"ern or spiral, leading the students “to know, to love, to serve,” moving from information to formation to transformation.

The Credo series explores the concepts outlined in the document of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework for the Development of Catechetical Materials for Young People of High School Age from a sound theological and pedagogical basis.

The Credo series speaks to the multicultural nature of the US high school population.

The Credo series takes as its starting point the lived experience of the students and challenges them to make their lives a lived response to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
