Customer Reviews

This book would have made MY teen years easier!

I was prompted to buy this book when I read that Tyra Banks credits it as a major reason why she did not experiment with drugs or sex at an early age. As her mom had with her, I plan on sharing this book with my daughter when she is 10, in advance of all of the pre-teen and teen experiences and situations she will undoubtedly find herself in. My expectation is that her knowledge about these topics and many more discussed in this excellent book will enable her to make more informed decisions. Thus, I believe it may help her to resist a certain amount of negative peer pressure. This book presents a lot of information that would assist EVERY teen in navigating through what are arguably the most difficult years of our lives. Three fingers up and the thumb and index finger in a circle: This book is A-OK!!! I recommend it highly.
