The Young People's Survival Guide for Oxfordshire, is a handy, pocket-sized book stuffed full of information, advice and guidance about just about everything of interest to a young person in Oxfordshire.

The new edition for 2007 has just come out, but if you're waiting for your copy (it's given out free to all Year 11 students at school) you can browse the Survival Guide online right here on Spired.com.

It has information about education, free time, health, housing, the law, money and relationships, or you can use the full list to jump straight to what you're concerned about.
