Queen Bees and Wannabes

Imagine living in a world where every movement you make, every word you say, and even everything you wear is constantly being judged by your peers. A place in which gossip is the native language and friendships are as fleeting, and usually just as unappetizing, as the daily lunch special. Welcome to the world of adolescent girls, a place in which you must constantly redefine who you are in order to fit in. How do teenage girls deal with all of the pressure they face at school, their changing bodies, their peers, and with the opposite sex? How did you deal? What group did you fit into, and more importantly, what role did you play in that group? Take a walk down memory lane, and by doing so, take a deeper look into the inner workings of cliques and how they can make or break an adolescent girl. Were you a mean girl? Did you betray your friends in order to gain a step on the social ladder? Or were you an outsider, desperately wanting an “in”, but not willing to sacrifice your true self just to be accepted?

Every woman remembers the trials and tribulations of adolescence quite well, but how do you help your daughter cope with the same thing in a new generation? Whether you are a mother or father of an adolescent girl, a teacher, a coach, or a teenager seeking answers to the complicated world of adolescent girls, Queen Bees & Wannabes will be an eye-opening reading experience for you.
