I recently bought this book, thinking that I should be supportive since I knew the lady who wrote it. I started to read just so I could say I read it. But as I got into it I found that this book was extremely unique and was very easy for me to realate to, infact for anyone to realate to. This book deals with issues that most people aren't very comfortable talking about, and you can honestly tell that everything in this book came straight from the heart. Something I found very unique and cool about this book was that after each section the author would talk to you about it and share her experiences. This book is somehting very great to have.

This book is an insperation for teens and thier parents. It shows teens that the problems they are having are normal and they are not alone. It also helps parents to understand thier childs point of view and hopefully will open up the lines of communication. Mikki Trujillo did an excellent job and the book is amazing!

I bought this book thinking it was for parents but I got confused as to who this book was for. That isn't such a big deal, I guess but as I read on I didn't find any earth shattering information. It is clear that the author cares and that is good, but I think more research and a clearer title might have helped this book. It is extremely difficult to be a parent of a teenager today. We know all the things that our parents did wrong and we know we don't want to repeat those mistakes. BUT we don't have clear and researched advice on what to replace those old mistaken methods with. This is what I was hoping for. I was dissappointed, although I don't feel it was terrible book, I just didn't get anything from it.

Miki's (Mrs. Trujillo's) book is required reading for parents that have or are about to have teenage children. It is very important to communicate with your children and this book helps you the parent with those skills.

This book is great and Mrs.T is a great person and I hope she comes out with more books!

Mrs. T is my teacher and she is a wonderful person. Her book includes something for everyone and you are sure to find something you can relate to in it. With so many stories and points of view it covers every aspect of what teens are feeling.Reading it makes you see that you are not alone and that there is always someone out there that feels the same way you do. Buy this book!
