I can only really help with Sociology.

Specifically for adolescents or about them? Also, as introductory texts, or do you already have basic knowledge?

If you're looking for Introductory texts aimed at adolescents I recommend this book, or something similar. If you're a more confident reader of English, and already have cursory Sociological knowledge, then my personal favourite is this book.

That book is fantastic.

nlp, neurolinguistic programming is a mathematical approach to being smooth and interesting and engaging, without being weird or rude or storage.

I'm sorry, I linked to them in the words because I thought it would be more word affective.

Introductory Text:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Sociology-GCSE-AQA-Student/dp/0007310706
For the confident reader who has some pre-existing knowledge of sociology:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sociology-Themes-Perspectives-5th-Ed/dp/0003275078

If you want a general psychology book, Zimbardo's Psychology, Core Concepts is good

David Myers: Social Psychology is excellent for social psychology
