Written in😡

This was such to be for my teenage daughter to write her thoughts and feelings in. Unfortunately, she gets to view what the sellers life was like😡. Very annoyed

Essential Reading for Your Teenage Girl and You

I bought this book after peeking through it in a bookstore. I wish that I as a teenager had had access to this type of book. Even now I have received a benefit. Though exercises, affirmations and poems Iyanla gives you the best tools to find your true self, gain self confidence and become at peace with your soul and your body. If you haven't already got this book, buy it. If you have a teenage daughter - buy it for her. Give this gift with a journal, a pen, a box of tissues and your love and support. Guaranteed to touch your life and soul. Thank you Iyanla.

Valuable and important advise....regardless of your age!

I work with high school students in Denver, Colorado's public schools, and have used this book with great success to help young girls (and even some adults!) through times when they questions their worth and value to our society. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book for anyone, young or old. The perfect way to get in touch with the most important and beautiful person in your life.....YOURSELF!

Empowering Our Young Women

The book is focused on young women, however, more mature ones will also find it beneficial. The title is excellent, because the book is concerned about self and what one should keep. It is written in a workbook format that can be read in a short period of time. However, the thought provoking questions and exercises, take some time and allows one to view her life as is and how she would like it to be. The self-affirmations are excellent, because many people do not know what or how to say them. The survival kits provide good practical ideas of what a person should do if she is going through a bad time or has negative feelings. The inserted graphics, developed for the young person, with or without text are colorful and interesting . Vanzant also makes several interesting points about the role the Creator should play in a young woman's life. I feel that the book is valuable for any woman. I read it and then passed on to my God Child who is fifteen!

THIS BOOK IS A EYE CATCHER

I THINK I.V. IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER! ONE DAY JUST LOOKING THROGH THE BOOK LIST OF TEENAGE BOOKS I STUMBLED UPON A BOOK THAT CAUGHT MY EYE WHEN I TOLD MY MOM THE TITLE DON'T GIVE IT AWAY. THAT NIGHT WE WENT TO THE BOOK STORE AND PURCHASED THE BOOK. AS I STARTED TO READ,IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A STRONG BLACK 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IT ALSO GAVE ME MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE. I THINK THAT MS.VANZANT IS AN SUPER,SUPER WRITER NOT ONLY FOR TEENS BUT ALSO FOR ADULTS. WHEN I GOT TO THE PART ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO EXPRESS YOUR CERTAIN FEELINGS IT GOT MORE AND MORE INTERESTING. I THINK GUYS SHOULD ALSO READ THIS BOOK FOR TWO REASONS, IT IS INSPIRATIONAL ANDIT CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND. HOPE TO SEE ANOTHER BOOK FOR US TEENS IN YEAR 2000.
