Description: Everybody knows that high school can be tough, especially when your best friend behaves like your worst enemy, the person you have a crush on fails to notice you exist, and your athletic skills come in for universal derision.

Together they explain how bouncing back, trusting your instincts, and finding your tribe can make all the difference. This is an indispensable guide for adolescents for surviving-and enjoyin.
