Teenage Survival Handbook

Teenage Survival (The Teenage Survival Handbook) is an English-language magazine published annually by Regional Maple Leaf Communications Inc.[1] It was first published in 1990 and is aimed at young teens.[2] It deals with issues pertaining to puberty and growing up.[3] Some schools in US and Canada use the book as an extra curriculum activity.[4] The Teenage Survival Handbook has been endorsed by RCMP Foundation since 1999 and was formerly illustrated by Ben Wicks from 1996 - 2000.[5][6] After his death, RMC created "The Ben Wicks Award" in his honor and each year, up-and coming artists from Canada and the US entered the contest for a chance to win the right to illustrate the book and collect the $10,000 prize.[7
