The entire month of July is dedicated to teen girls who will be transitioning from middle school to high school. We will be pulling discussion topics from my teen girl book, How to Survive High School. I wish a book like this would have been out when I was making that transition. Maybe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes. Nevertheless, I will continue to use my experiences to help teen girls overcome stumbling blocks! Join us as we start the discussion today and continue to listen in throughout the month of July. Make sure every teen girl and parent of a teen girl is listening too.
