The process of growing up and passing through adolescence has been characterized by great inner turmoil, uncertainty, and tremendous pressures from family, close friends, and peer groups. Certainly, in our complex society, the problems of youth appear to be more marked than ever before.
Ginger Foley is a teenager embarking on her own special journey into adolescence. She finds herself plagued by powerful emotions, sometimes feeling uncertain about her awakening sexuality, sometimes becoming angered over her youthful misjudgments. Nonetheless, she must learn to cope with new surroundings and new friends — friends who pressure her into adapting to new and stimulating situations.
TURNING ON HER TEACHERS — the story of a typical young American girl coming of age. A lesson to us all and a reminder that the journey to adulthood is not easy.
Ginger Foley was out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang. The tall, slender brunette headed for her locker as quickly as her long, sleekly-turned legs would carry her there, looking neither left nor right.
God, I hope I’m not blushing as much as I think I am! the girl told herself. She had been enrolled in sex education classes for five years now, but the others had all been like a church social compared to the one she had just left! They had all used diagrams, drawings, models, dry, non-descriptive, non-inflammatory language.
In short, they had been nothing at all like Miss Caldwell’s class! The group discussion and illustrated lecture seminar Ginger had just left reminded the prudish teenager of a girls’ pajama party — one held for the loosest girls in the class!
Throwing her other books in the locker, Ginger took out a notebook and her shorthand text, keeping her sex education manual with her. Miss Caldwell always assigned at least a chapter of homework, and this weekend was no exception.
