Social Skills for Teens

 Social Skills for Teens, Discover Press, 2021

Growing up can be the most difficult years of a person's life, even under the best of circumstances. This book aims to make the process a little easier.

Your best friend goes to the movies without asking if you want to go, too. At school, a group of your friends are looking at you, while whispering to themselves. Instead of assuming that it is because you are fat, ugly and a total waste of oxygen, Ask Them. The explanation may not involve you at all.

This book includes ways to boost your self-confidence, and exercises that will reduce, or eliminate, anxiety. It is possible to build real relationships by being your best self; it's better than having lots of "friends" online.

Here is a really good book on navigating the teen years. If this book can nudge the average teen into thinking differently, or actually start changing their life, by only a few percent, it will have done its job. This is well worth checking out.
