di Nancy Johnson (Autore)

Acorn Publishing, 2021

An insightful glimpse into what it is to be a teenager today . . . making mistakes, surviving them, and rocking your beautiful, powerful self. In Things My Mama Never Told Me, Nancy "Pants" Johnson, mentor, leader, educator, and teen advocate shares the stories of brave, resilient, powerful young women who, despite their sometimes overwhelming and scary circumstances, overcome their fears and hold onto their dreams with unwavering strength. Here are some of the questions she asked herself and her teen authors: · Do you have questions, concerns, fears about being a teenager? · Do you sometimes feel like your stress is going to burst out of your eyeballs? · Do you sometimes get fed up with friends, family, or social media? · Have you ever ignored your intuition and ended up in an unsafe situation? Learn how to embrace your beautiful body, your abilities, and your worth; to monitor your own use of social media, cell phones, and computers, becoming aware of how they make you feel; to recognize your power as a woman in all aspects of your life, no matter your sexual orientation; to own your choices about what you want to do with your life and with whom you want to spend it; to deal with your stress in more positive and creative ways; to listen to your intuition and form personal safety boundaries; to love yourself first when making decisions about relationships, intimacy, your body, sex, and birth control; to be alert to red flag warnings and signs of abuse; to recognize the signs of alcoholism and addiction in yourself and others; to bring your secrets into the light; to forgive yourself; to prioritize your own health and well-being. Being a teenager is hard and sometimes totally frustrating. You will survive. I've got you. You are just the person for the job.
