This book gets to the point when it comes to being a teenage girl in this world. I highly recommend this book for mothers, teachers and mentors of teenage girls for useful insight into the issues that confront our girls.

This book looks great and I bought it to give to my younger sister (who is in eigth grade) but I am wondering at what age do most people think this book is appropriate? I know that by 8th grade kids know a lot more about sex than parents want to believe but I still feel nervous about giving my sister a book that talks about safe sex. Is 8th grade too early for this book?

Being a teen girl has never been easy--but it may be harder than ever. Boys agressively expect young women to look sexy and give in to their demands. The far-right wants them to wait until after their married. Parents want girls to be ultra-succesful. The media expects them to imitate wealthy celebrities--right down to the expensive wardrobe. It's enough to make any teen want to hide away until she reaches adulthood! A better idea would be to read Real Girl Real World, the must-have guide for helping tween and teen girls navigate the minefield that adolescence can be, from social and school advice to a detailed look at what is happening to your body (and why). I can't think of a better book for a teen!

I bought this as a gift and reviewed it.
It is great book for teenagers.
