Book SynopsisBeing a teenage girl is hard. Admit it-frequently it's downright terrible. They are constantly bombarded with suggestions about how to best live their lives from everyone they know. It becomes a challenge just to know whose suggestions to follow and whom to ignore. Their parents and teachers are "too old" to understand them, and friends can be just as confused as they are. Teens are often tempted to turn to celebrities who, unfortunately, are only asked about fashion, weight loss, and "how to get the guy."

Techniques and exercises are provided to help teenage girls survive and thrive beyond their teenage years. Is Life Lessons for the Teenage Girl for teenage girls only? Heck no! Everyone can be educated and entertained by the insights these women dispense. All can benefit from learning new strategies to manage life's difficulties. Find out who stayed serious and who couldn't help.
