Everyone feels strange, embarrassed, and just plain weird at times. This book is for every girl who has ever wondered whether all the stuff that’s happening to her body, feelings, and relationships is normal. This dynamic mother-daughter duo gives a lowdown on everything that a teenage girl goes through by offering answers and advice about all the stuff that’s on her mind. By giving a look into other girls’ experiences, the authors have handled sticky situations that crop up on the way to womanhood with aplomb. The authors discuss sensitive issues like puberty, crushes, dating, school, communicating with peers and handling extreme emotions. They urge every girl to break stultifying stereotypes and develop their own personality by being proud of their unique interests and ideas, of their differences from boys and from each other. With uplifting mantras you can pull out whenever you need them, the authors help teenage girls – and their families – get through life by seeing that weird is normal. Think of this book as a caring guide to help you determine what kind of relationships, education, career, goals, values, beliefs, status – what kind of life you want.
