Melisa Holmes, MD, FACOG is a creative soul with an academic mind who is slow to admit she spent a lot of years as a cheerleader. Theres Something New About You will help you make sense of a very confusing time! In addition to the advice, there are great stories about a cast of characters who are going through the same things you may be: Claire thinks shell never develop Lily is embarrassed to shop for her first bra Riley is mortified when she gets her period at her dads house Brianna doesnt know what to say when the boys tease her and Tess is worried about whether or not she can use a tampon so she can swim in her swim meet. It was written by two female doctors who are moms (and theyre pretty funny). And its not like an embarrassing little chat with your parents. Its definitely not a boring lecture like you hear in school. But read this book and you can face the weirdness, get over the gross factor, and head into puberty with confidence and knowledge. Right now you cant imagine how any of this could be fun. Some of it makes you feel embarrassed, some of it makes you want to scream, and some if it makes you want to roll your eyes and crawl under a rock. First bras.hair growing on your legs.changing friendships.and periods. Youre at that age when there is a lot going on. Please dont settle for outdated editions. Updated for 2017 and following, this edition of Girlologys 'Theres Something New About You' is the most complete and current guide for girls growing up.
