What should I wear today? Does he like me? Why is she mad at me? I’m alone. Those are just four thoughts that go through the head of a teenager everyday. It seems like most teens have nothing to say to their parents, but a million things to say to their peers. Your teen may seem happy one day and depressed another, and as a parent you have absolutely no clue as to why. Rosalind Wiseman’s Queen Bees and Wannabes puts you inside the head of your teenaged child, and into the harsh reality of high school. An age most parents think is the most fun for their child can turn into hell for some kids. And all because they wore the wrong clothes, sat at the wrong lunch table, or failed to be an athlete. Queen Bees and Wannabes breaks down the social hierarchy of cliques and explains why your child is either at the top or why she is at the bottom.
The input in every section of the book from real life teenagers may be what puts the book over the top. To read a powerful message, and a real thought on popularity from teens at the top of their crowd and those way down below make for an eye opening experience to what your teen may be feeling. From the tender age of eleven your daughter is faced with making decisions that will impact the rest of her social career. Who she invites to her birthday party, and who she doesn’t will shape lives. What she wears, or doesn’t wear will brand her a label as a preppy or a slut. Who she dates, where she goes, and what she does will establish an unbreakable reputation.
If you’re struggling to understand your teen and the decision he or she is making, Queen Bees and Wannabes will answer all your questions and allow you a backstage pass into what school and social life are like for your teen. For once you can begin to understand the underlying effect peers and cliques have on your child and how they shape their everyday lives. You will finally be able to decode the mind and life of your teenager.
