I went through this with a small group of high school girls. We met for about an hour or so and took two weeks for each section instead of one. The book doesn't spend time dwelling on mean things others have done; instead, it asks the reader to think about what you can do to make a difference, and encourages girls to be more aware how their words and actions affect others.

This book is awesome! It has good messages to teach teen girls. I hope everyone reading this will buy this book. :)

used this with a small group of middle school girls. some of them did have a bit of difficulty with the vocabulary and it does seem to be a bit more geared to high schoolers, but the way she handled the topics were perfect for our girls, so i would really encourage you to just work through whatever they might not immediately get. it's worth it!!

also, although i hoped the girls would read thru the chapters ahead of time and answer the questions before coming to group each week, i was lucky if i could just get them to remember to bring their book to our meetings. :) so the way i ended up preparing was reading thru the chapter and doing the questions and then going back and selecting the sections and questions/answers that i would have time to cover and that i thought were most important. then we'd just read thru them together and discuss the questions i picked out. it still made a great difference! thanks for the great book.

Used this book to do a bible study with middle school girls and it covered a lot of the issues that kids have that cause bullying, teasing, and other ways of being mean. I would recommend that every parent of a preteen or young teen get this book and read it with them. Especially if your child is shy or prone to being picked on. Help them to stand up for themselves.
