What teen/young adult books do you suggest? What do you recommend? I like romantic comedy or just romance books. I also like some mystery. I have enjoyed Sarah dessen's truth about forever the private series by kate Brian and the luxe series by Anna godberson. I liked sweet 16 by Kate Brian,which was slot deeper than t sounds. I am looking for more to read. suggestions? | | Jodi Picoult books seem to be something you might be interested in. She writes some really great stories. | I can't stop blaming myself for a mistake i made as a young teen. How do i forgive myself and look ahead? This might seem very awkward to u all but being a Muslim girl, we're really not allowed to go out and date guys cus then when it is the time to get married, guys dun want girls who had boyfriends in the past. However, a guy can have a gf and then move on and have a good future too...I know its hypocritical but that's the way it is.
My story is that when i was 14, a guy wanted to go out with me. Nice and sweet guy. REALLY nice. so nice i fell in love. we talked on the phone and stuff, went in the same school. he was 2 yrs senior. we became best friends too, and i never told my parents cus then they wud b mad at me....so 2 yrs later, they found out. i felt so guilty for hurting them...even through out the relationship i felt guilty but some way i tried not to think of it. my parents believed in me and i shattered it all. :(
and then they told me not to talk to him. and m trying to get over him. he says he loves me and he will come to me someday wen he's done studying. but hedoesn'tt seem right. i feel like i made a mistake. i was too dumb then. how can i be with some1 for the rest of my life whom i accepted as a young teen? u see in my society girls r not supposed to b commited to a guy UNLESS hes the husband...but we can date when we r old enough too, like in college.
i jus feel like that mistake to be with the guy is gonna affect me till im all grown up. some guy might not even wanna be with me, knowing my history. he'll think m some kinda slut...but m not. m a good person but i jus dun want my parents to feel ashamed cs of me.
im about to b 18 now and i wish life was easier and i cud move on. but i dunno how...i want composure....m in search of it...but i cant find it...:(
all this is affecting my studies too...and it makes me shout while i cry in my room at nights...:( | The past only haunts us if we let it. I have a simple rule in life and that is "don't worry about things you can not change"
The past has happened and to be honest it really does not sound bad at all. In fact it sounds like any normal teenage girl and is all part of growing and learning. From now on why not try a different approach to life ... When you wake in the morning think about the wonderful opportunities the world has waiting for you and when you go to bed at night dream of making those opportunities happen! | Any Young Adult Novels That Has a Sweet/Kind, But Shy/Quiet Girl? I need a Young Adult level book to read for my English class, & I would like to read a book that has a young girl or teen who is kind/sweet, but very shy/quiet. She could either be a main character OR a supporting character in the novel.
I've seen/read characters with the personality I've mentioned above in these manga/anime, Kimi ni Todoke, Naruto (Hinata), & Koko ni Iru yo! but sadly I can't choose manga to read & write a report on. >.< If you've read or seen the anime/manga & know what characters I'm talking about, then you will know what sort of girl I want to read about.
Also, it would be nice if the novel DOESN'T have a tragic or sad ending & it is a good book to read.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I've already read Twilight & Speak... So don't mention it below. | The Hunger Games' main character is Katniss Everdeen. She's quiet and shy but not sweet at all.
The Host by Stephanie Myer kind of has two persons in one. One of them is quiet & kind, the other is rough & rambuctious.
Just Listen and Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen have two very quiet characters but niether of them are sweet.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower has a quiet/shy an sweet/kind character but the problem is he's a guy.
Unfortunately, I find there aren't too many novels out there with cute characters and a happy ending.
Thats all I can think of. Hope I helped! | How do I help my teen with her school work, she is really struggling.? I've tried everything to help my young teen daughter, she is a very sweet guy . I'm a single parent of 2 and cannot afford a tutor, she suggested to me yesterday that maybe we can try sylvans learning center. She really is trying to make an effort to do better but I cannot afford it and it is makinging me sick, I cannot sleep at nights. How do I help her to do better at school. She does'nt have any distractions at home besides her little 3 yr old brother who always wants to play with her . Please help me. | Schedule a parent/teacher meeting with her teacher. See if the teacher is willing to stay after school a couple of days a week and give her one on one tutoring.
My little brother went through the exact same thing with his math and english lessons and his teacher was more than happy to stay late with him since teachers are always at school after the guys to home.
Also, it may be a tough decision to make, but it is almost the end of the school year. If you daughter just quite doesn't grasp what she is trying to learn, maybe it is best if she is held back a year. If she is struggling so hard now, how in the world would she survive in a higher grade?

| I highly recommend the Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty (sp?). There are four books in the series (the fifth one is underway) and they are absolutely entertaining. It's about the life of a high school student dealing with typical issues. But McCaffterty's wit and charm really make this book enjoyable. The dialogue and details are hilarious. Especially the stories about sex. The third book is her college years and the fourth book is about after college life. If you're looking for a fun read, this is definitely worth considering.
The titles are (1) Sloppy Firsts, (2) Second Helpings, (3) Charmed Thirds, and (4) Fourth Comings. I hope I helped! :) | I'm looking for some good young adult/teen books...? I LOVE the Twilight series and Harry Potter and have already read them.

The Giver by Louis Lowery | Depressed young teen and want help from others who feel like me? I missed so many days of school and now I regret it. The reason I am absent all the time is because I am restless, get excruciating abdominal pains that don't go away for hours, and too anxious to attend school. I don't want to start a new day at school feeling overwhelmed, depressed, cranky, etc. I don't really like it when people see me like this. It's hard to control how I feel inside. My emotions go all over the place. I will be happy at first next moment feel suicidal or mad. I don't know why. It may be the rough teen years I am facing. I try to relax and breathe in and out. That method doesn't work for me. I tried yoga, it didn't cure my pain away or relieved my stress and anxiety. Listening to music and walking is what I ENJOY, it's so soothing to the ears when I play my favourite music which takes me to a place like heaven. All alone, peace and quit. It frees my mind from negative thoughts that I always get. I am insecure and it became even worse till I started junior high when I was 12. Now, in high school. I am unhappy there because I don't fit in, it seems. The best years of my life was Elementary and Junior high. I don't want to feel crappy at all. It's unhealthy. My mind is taking over my life. I don't know where my path is leading me. I feel empty, miserable, worthless, helpless, stupid, fat. I wish I could make a friend who understands exactly how I feel and know what I'm going through with this. When I started my first year of high school, I was already bullied on the first day, it didn't end until couples months has passed till the school year ended. Last term, 3 cruel girl teased me behind my back. At home, I have a brother who psychically and verbally abuse me non-stop everyday. I have a mom who calls me fat. I never felt fat until she kept pushing me to lose weight. I know I am a nice, sweet, pleasant person to be around with. Sometimes, I am not like that and I hope that's ok because no one is not perfect, right? I am super shy though, I don't want it to be a bad thing. I wished I could talk to more people. I want someone out there to reach out for me and give me their advise.
Excuse my grammar! :( Sorry, I know that I am 16 and sound like a 6 yr old typing this. Please, don't mean about it just want some help. Thanks in advance!
I have set goals for myself. I am a total failure..I just want to do well in school to make it to college and start a new fresh start. I don't think I will make it to the real world!
Btw, I am an 11th grader..it probably take more than 3 yrs to graduate from high school where I'm going right now.
I am miserable with my life and have no idea when I will see my psychologist again so I can talk to her. | Trust me, this is something that I can totally relate to. I am a university student, and after my bf of a year broke up with me, I went through this stage that you're going through now. Often, I would sit and cry, feeling so suicidal (which is so not me), so depressed and that it was the end of the world. Just like yourself, I found calmness in music and walking. The best decision I ever made was making an appt to talk to the university psychologist. Its great to vent to someone, and I normally dont ever show how I feel. I guess that is the great thing about it, to release all that negative thoughts to someone who can listen without judging you. What I refused was any kind of diagnosis, I did not want to turn to pills that would "help" me. All I wanted was someone to hear me out and to tell me that things would be fine, and that I would again see color in my world.
In your case, I hope that my story would help you a bit. Life is tough, no one promised that it was going to be perfect, you know? I'm pretty sure youre mature enough to comprehend all this, and I wish you all the best, and that you can and will overcome this feeling ! Dont let your negative thoughts take over your life. Youre in high school and should be enjoying it, as it is gonna be some of your last teens years before you go to the "bigger and better" things.
Smiling helps too :)) All the best.
---My Pleasure :))) | Who to alert? Young teen abused and abuser...? I'm trying to figure out what my next step should be in this situation. A young 13 year old is living in terrible conditions, I mean sleeping on the floor, house filthy, no working bathroom, goes hungry most of the time etc his mom doesn't work and has another boy who is 4 and spends a few days a week with them there too - the dad of the older boy has never been in the picture. The house belongs to the grandmother who has been for years trying to keep the older boy protected from his mom but now it's not working anymore. The mom is verbally abusive and the guy even though he used to be a sweet guy has now a lot of built up anger and is starting to become violent and abuse both the mom and the grandmother verbally and physically - he also coerces her out of money. He's also been out of school for the past few months and this hasn't helped any as he spends his time watching daytime tv and thinking his life is over. We have been trying to help but it's not easy and we're getting desperate... I think it's time to alert some authority, I thought CPS but I don't know if that's the right people to call given the situation... Any ideas on what kind of authority could be alerted in such a case would be welcome. | | you should talk to him when you see him by himself ,dont make a hasty decsion because it'll change that familys life ...(just sayin my mom and i fight all the time but make up all the time as well ) once you talk to him and you see how bad the situation is then make a move | Looking for title of 80's/90's Sweet Dreams teen romance novel?
