Hosted by teens, this short primer includes illustrative vignettes featuring young people dealing with “frenemies”: i.e., persons who are considered friends but sometimes behave like enemies. Noting that a frenemy is not always easy to spot, the program counsels viewers on telltale behaviors, including being bossy, talking behind one's back, and being judgmental (all the while still exhibiting a semblance of friendship). Also offering tips on how to fix a frenemy relationship (including talking to the person and explaining your feelings, or asking advice from parents) and how to follow through and say goodbye (if you need either a little distance or to make a clean break from someone), this is an excellent guide to maintaining healthy friendships. Bonus features include a 50-page PDF resource book. Highly recommended. Aud: E, I, P. (J. Williams-Wood)
