This book is made for any girl who is having trouble adjusting to her teenage years with the extra stress of family, friends, boyfriends, and school. Despite being targeted to teenage girls, this book is a great read for women in their twenties who need some advice on how to deal with certain situations. The advice is a huge plus for this book. Many scenarios are depicted for different categories and then it is up to the reader to decide what they would do, and then recommendations are detailed on how to respectively and maturely handle the situation. Another thing I absolutely loved were the "rights" that everyone has. Needless to say, I highlighted a lot of quotes from this book because the words held so much strength. It helped me understand that I'm not the only person in the world dealing with problems, and that there is a plethora of advice on how to handle a situation the next time a problem arises.
Besides a few formatting errors, the book was well-written and can appeal to audiences beyond the teenage years. Much of the advice is a huge reminder to stay true to yourself as you deal with problems throughout life and some advice serves as important reminders for the future. Some of my favorite quotes are listed below:
"-You have the right to nurturing and supportive friendships.
-You have the right to your own opinions and ideas.
-You have the right to say no in situations that make you uncomfortable.
-You have the right to feel safe and comfortable with your friends.
-You have the right to decide how you spend your time and which friendships you prioritize."
"-You have the right to say no.
-You have the right to be upset and angry.
-You have the right to not accept responsibility for others' behavior, feelings, or problems.
-You have the right to respectfully disagree.
-You have the right to put your own needs ahead of your peers'.
-You have the right to make decisions based on values or gut feelings, without having to give reasons.
-You have the right to be treated with respect by your peers.
-You have the right to remove yourself from situations you don't want to be in."
"-You have the right to ask questions; there are no stupid questions.
-You have the right to say no to requests that don't feel good.
-You have the right to be treated with respect.
-You have the right to follow your dreams."
