This review is from: Always Accept Me for Who I Am: Instructions from Teenagers on Raising the Perfect Parent by 147 Teens Who Know (Paperback)

Both funny and heart-wrenching at times, this book is a perfect insight into the dark and humorous minds of teenagers for those of us who are parents, those of us who plan to be parents AND even those who just know teenagers. It is an eye-opening and enlightening. You MUST get this!!!
