Product Description

Parents and kids alike may think that getting teased or arguing with friends is just part of growing up, but where is the line between normal kid stuff and harmful behavior? This book is a guide for girls on how to deal with girl politics, God-style.

From the Back Cover

Yesterday you were BFFs, planning to go to the same college and be in each other’s weddings. Today when you sat down at the lunch table, she and all her other friends just got up and left without saying a word, then started to giggle as they walked away. Your teacher says to ignore them, your mom says to try to talk to her about it, and your dad says this is just what kids do. What happened? You’re angry, hurt, and wondering—when is it just a girl thing and when is enough enough? You need some survival skills to protect yourself from girls who are out to hurt you, as well as tips to make your real friendships even more amazing. Girl Politics has all the info on friends, bullies, and what to do when the girls you hang out with are both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, September 22, 2007

By	Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Do you remember the bully in school? Do you remember being teased over something that you had no control over?
Has it left a scar in your life that even now the very thought of it causes a subtle pain within you? I think we all have, and that is very sad for all of us.
In this work by author Nancy Rue we are taken into the young world of such as this. A world where bullies may run rampart and teasing maybe the norm. However, things don't have to end up the way they did with us, not if young people are taught what God would have them to do when confronted with bullies and teasing that borders on pure cruelty. Just what are the guidelines and when is enough, enough and just how do you make it stop? Hard questions are asked, situations explored and solutions given in this book that are sure to help bring peace during the hard years of peer pressure, and decision making days. Growing-up is hard, this wonderful book gives girls a head-start on how to handle troubled waters with their friends, and even enemies in Godly attitudes. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for girls starting middle school, May 8, 2009

I got this book as a birthday gift for my turning-11 daughter. She loves it. I love that the book is honest yet encourages girls to deal with difficult situations in a Christ-like way. I highly recommend this for all girls of this age, but especially those who, like my daughter, have had some social struggles. It is the perfect companion to the Faithgirlz's Sophie series, which my daughter also loves.

2.0 out of 5 stars CHEAP PAPER, December 25, 2007

By	BAM - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this volume along with the other three in this series for Christmas gifts--4 for 3 promotion. I received them a couple of days prior to Christmas and didn't have time to shop for replacement gifts.

I have been a fan of Nancy Rue books for teen girls so thought these would make nice gifts for my neices. This is the only reason I purchased these specific titles.

The covers were inviting, but the paper inside the covers was CHEAP and uninviting. For a retail price of $7.99 each for 132 pages, I expected much higher quality paper. Shame on the publisher!

I did not read these volumes, so I can't comment on the content. I would NOT have purchased any of the books in this set had I seen them first at a bookstore. These books do not invite a reader in. The paper quality makes them look like very "cheap" gifts--think dollar store books.

I give this book two stars only because Nancy Rue is the author.
