Teen girls learn rules all the time, even if many of them go unsaid. Be yourself! But don't be weird! Hustle hard--your future depends on it! You're only young once--enjoy it! But no one talks about the life skill they need to navigate all those rules: how to think for themselves. As the co-founder of Smart Girls, Meredith Walker has spent years making ideas feel real, relevant, and approachable to young people. Now she's written a whole guide devoted to helping teen girls discover who they are, feel their feelings, develop their confidence--and figure out what to do next. Compact, insightful, and full of warm wisdom, Be Yourself and Other Bad Advice is the perfect book for any reader letting go of the old rules to create a life that's truly their own.
