DEAR MS. DEMEANOR is an essential book for any adolescent in today's society. It provides guidelines for acceptable social behavior in pretty much any situation. The book is quite easy and pleasant to read, well written and even enjoyable. It should be required reading for any American kids, ages 10 and up.

Do Not let your kids read this book. This book may be helpful if your children attend a private school in one of the most affluent towns but then too, this book probably be worthless. If your child goes to a public school and reads this book be prepared they will either get beat-up or have some social emotional scars from using the advice given. The advice for situations for school is to ignore the problem and it will go away or tell somebody in charge. Ignoring a problem only causes the problem to become more pronounced. When a kid is being bullied, her advice is to tell a parent or teacher which will provide temporary protection. "True, lasting protection comes from believing in yourself, respecting others, and choosing your friends well" Bullying is a way of tormenting your child but after your child follows this advice, the bully will be upset and really want to hurt your child badly. The problems that she addresses may be real but they are the simple ones to fix. One situation was the school uniform includes skirts for girls and some guys are trying to look up them. The real problem would be the school uniform includes skirts and some guys keep putting their hands up them. Mary Mitchell has been away from kids for too long so keep your kids away from her book.
