Build Stronger Bonds, Strengthen Communication, Boost Your Grades, and Become Social Media Savvy in Today’s Modern World
by Jeffrey Simmons
Go from surviving to thriving with 10 practical tools that will ensure there are more ups than downs in your life as a teen.
Are you buckling under the pressure of piling homework, looming exams, and worries about your future?
Are the trials of social media navigation, social dynamics, and peer pressure becoming more of a burden?
Do you find that you simply don’t have enough time to fulfill so many conflicting demands?
If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” you aren’t alone.
Some 90% of teenagers experienced physical and emotional symptoms caused by stress last year alone, and around 31.9% have some type of anxiety disorder.
What’s more than half of all teens cram for exams—which only adds to the stress of their academic experience.
And what about the complex world of social media?
Surveys show that teens are online for almost nine hours a day, and 90% of teens aged 13-17 regularly use apps like TikTok and Instagram.
And there are many good reasons for that.
Social media connects people, reduces loneliness, and allows you to access and share information.
But it has a downside.
It can portray perfectly filtered lives that don’t correspond to reality and can lead to comparisons with others and depression.
Know that these issues don’t have to ruin some of the best years of your life. Consider this book to be a complete guide containing all the strategies you need to be a confident, organized, successful teen.
