For the Strength of Youth is a powerful set of guidelines for teenagers of the LDS faith.  It's teachings are simple enough that they can be followed, while at the same time being complex enough to require faith and trust.  I believe it truly captures the ideas behind being a parent, where there are guidelines given that can't always be explained are understood, yet the importance is there nonetheless.  While this pamphlet was written specifically for those of the LDS faith, I believe that the precepts offered within it could be positively applied to any teenager.  The reason for this is that the book helps teenagers to embrace their current opportunities in life and to not rush into the future.  This is done by counseling dating ages, appropriate swimwear, and movies ratings to be avoided.  For the Strength of Youth can empower our teenagers to do that which is right.
