Life Skills For Teens
How to manage everyday life, including money management, social skills, studying habits, cooking your favorite meal, how to change a tire, and more
Are you a teenager who feels like you can't win? Everyone says you aren't a kid anymore, but no one considers you an adult either...
Before you turned thirteen, did you want nothing more than to be a "grown-up" teenager, but then it turned out to be this strange halfway point where no one listens to you because they think you're too old to be a kid but too young to be an adult?
Then, to add to the confusion, you have a million new things to learn-like budgeting, laundry, and how to maintain a car-but not one of these things is being taught in school...
Well, if it's any consolation... you aren't alone.
In fact, according to a survey conducted by OnePoll on recent college grads, "81% of respondents agreed they wish they were taught more life skills before graduating college."
But the key is to remember that you can solve these problems-and you can be one step ahead of the game by knowing what to expect and being prepared for the curveballs life throws at you-with the help of this easy-to-read book!
Inside, here's just a fraction of what you'll discover:
● How to become a super teen who doesn't give in to peer pressure
● Clever ways to avoid those dreaded awkward silences
● A situation when it's good to blame your parents... and they'll be happy you did it!
● The secret to landing your first job like a pro... when you have zero experience
● How "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees can save your life (or someone else's) one day
● Tips on how to be smarter with your money-from creating your budget to dipping your toes into the world of investing
● A step-by-step guide on what to do when the cops pull you over
● Everything you need to know to survive when you're home alone... and how to keep the house in one piece
And so much more.
