In the videotape for teenagers you will hear the stories
of five teens whose parents have had cancer.
T.J., a 15 year old boy whose
mother is being treated for breast cancer.
Bethany, age 18 and Dalyn, age 22, sisters whose
mother was treated for lung cancer.
Courtney, a 14 year old girl whose mother was treated
for breast cancer.
Alex, a 17 year old boy whose father is being treated
for colon cancer.
The teens
talk individually and as a group about their feelings and experiences
of dealing with their parent's cancer. These kids share both the
things that were most difficult and some of the strategies they
felt helped them to cope successfully. The teens describe how facing
the challenge of having a parent with cancer helped them grow and
learn to take responsibility. The kids describe how talking with
other kids whose parents have cancer helped them realize they were
not alone.
The
teen video is 30 minutes in length and is presented in standard
VHS format.
