Be True To Yourself: Daily Affirmations and Awesome Advice for Teen Girls (Gifts for Teen Girls, Teen and Young Adult Maturing and Bullying Issues)

It hit me viscerally after reading only a few pages that the wisdom and support offered in this book was exactly what I so desperately needed as an adolescent...but didn't get...because of the limitations of my caregivers. This book has actually provided a missing experience for me, an opportunity to heal some of the turmoil experienced by my adolescent self that I still carry decades later. Amanda Ford offers such love and grace to readers of all ages. It's become my favorite reading before I turn out the lights at night! I wholeheartedly recommend this book to girls and women of all ages.

I really love this book! It was given to me as a gift and I have not put it down since :-)It is full of wonderful advice,help and ways to improve one's everyday life, from small things that seem trivial to large issues-all though will inspire and has the power to transform and enrich your life!Buy this book and tell your friends and family!

This book is AWESOME and I reommend it highly for tweens and teens for grounded and excellent advice that is refreshingly honest. And how cool that the author wrote the book as a teen and refreshed it as an adult. Get this book for every gir you know!

This is such a wonderful book! While it’s technically for teenage girls the quotes and lessons throughout are truly relatable for all ages. Amanda Ford’s ability to comprehend the complexities of being a woman (at any age) and to write this book as a way to guide us all through our emotions is remarkable. I am going to recommend this book to every woman I know because it is truly THAT important of a read. Absolutely amazing!

This was just the book I was looking for! I wanted a book that would appeal to both of my grand daughters, age 16 and 12. One that would speak to the concerns and questions which they are dealing with right now, as well as providing a framework to help them make future decisions. This book does all that, as well as bringing an occasional touch of humor. Amanda Ford’s voice is clear, warm, and wise. The format allows one to read it as a whole or select different concerns. I loved that! After I purchased the books I ended up reading it myself, and I felt that its message is valid no matter what one’s age.My grand daughters expressed how much they appreciated the book also, and that means a lot to me. Thank you, Amanda Ford. You made my day.

Surprise! When I opened the book it was so appealing that I read it cover to cover right away. From self love, friends, loneliness, body image and more, this book lifts the spirit. The 365 pep talks show how it's possible to not only manage, but thrive through our challenges. Wish I had such a book when I was a teen.

I bought this book for my almost 12 year old. She had a rough first year of middle school and this book is filled with good advice. Sometimes kids just need to hear it from someone other than than parents. She’ll probably read it more than once bc she loves it too.

Whether you are 17 or 71, buy this book! While Amanda writes with teen girls in mind, her daily essays gently but powerfully guide the reader at any age toward living a full, authentic, brave, be-true-to-yourself life. From the book's beginning we are reminded of our individual worthiness and unique gifts, as well as the importance of paying attention in our lives. One can never hear Amanda's wise words enough. I'm buying this book for teen friends, and keeping my copy close by for when I need a boost and, at times, a kick in the butt!
