Underestimated : the wisdom and power of teenage girls / by Goodan, Chelsey,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In the vein of Reviving Ophelia and Untangled comes a fresh, unexpected, and empowering guide to better understand teenage girls, revealing how their insights can create heartfelt connections and impactful change. Written with warmth and humor, Underestimated is the first book to invite us into a teenage girl's brain and heart, as told from the point of view of a beloved and trusted mentor. Chelsey Goodan is a highly sought-after academic tutor who has worked with hundreds of girls from all different backgrounds, earning their trust, confidence, and friendship. They in turn have shared with her their innermost concerns, doubts, and what they wish they could communicate to their parents and the world at large. With topics and language directly chosen by the girls, Goodan reveals how the solutions to a girl's well-being lie within her. She offers parents the exact words they can use to help her discover these solutions and demonstrates how adults can better support a teenage girl's voice to create positive change. Rather than dismissing teenage girls based on our own fears or treating them as problems that need to be solved, Goodan encourages us as parents, and as a society, to help girls unleash their power and celebrate their intrinsic wisdom, creating more healing and connection for everyone. With inspiring ease, Underestimated shows us how to do this with accessible advice, entertaining narratives, and profound wisdom"--

How girls are made / by McGinnis, Mindy,author.;
"Fallon is a fixer. From planning prom to organizing her college applications, she's got it all figured out ... except for when her younger sister comes to her with very basic questions about sex. Shocked that she knows so little -- and her fellow classmates even less -- Fallon decides some practical education is in order. And Fallon isn't above practicing a little civil disobedience by creating a secret underground off-campus group. Shelby is a fighter. Having her nose broken is nothing new in her semiprofessional career ... but this time it's her boyfriend who threw the punch. Now her phone is blowing up with texts from a new guy who tells her she's perfect, she's special, she's everything he's ever wanted ... except for a few small details. Shelby's happy to adjust for him, because isn't that what a healthy relationship is about? Jobie is a failure. She doesn't have enough followers and her posts never go viral, no matter how hard she crushes challenges and applies exactly the right filter. But a friendly DM from a good girl just like her points her in the direction of a whole new audience of admirers. Guys who just want to talk. Guys who give her the attention she's always wanted. The lives of all three girls intersect in Fallon's secret class, rumors of which have parents up in arms. Fallon needs to keep herself anonymous, Shelby needs to keep her new boyfriend happy, and Jobie needs to keep her followers ... who keep asking for more. Each girl finds herself trapped in an inescapable situation -- that will leave one of them dead"--
