25. "I can’t recommend Rosen’s Teen Health
& Wellness database strongly enough! We
use it for our health classes, sociology and
psychology classes—and the students use it
for themselves. The school nurse, counselors,
psychologist, and other staff appreciate it,
too, and often recommend it to parents
as well as students."
