girls get mixed messages from society about who they
should be, what they should look like, and how they
should deal with everyday pressures and choices.
Wouldn't
it be great if they could just be themselves?
Real
Girl/Real World: A Guide to Finding Your True Self
is a fun and essential guide book, where real girls
share their experiences, showing that there's no one
"right" way to navigate the twisting road
of adolescence. The authors explore a wide range of
topics central to young women's lives, including:
·
beauty and the media
· body image and self-esteem
· eating disorders and good nutrition
· sex and sexuality
· feminism and today's new activists
By dispelling
myths and putting issues into perspective,
Real Girl/Real World gives girls the power to
become strong women and make informed decisions about
their lives.
