My son will be preparing for high school in the next year and this was such an informative listen. So much has changed since I was just entering high school and I found this to be very current and educational. I vividly remember the social anxiety I felt moving up to high school and having a tool like this in my tool belt would have made things much easier. If you have a child or family member that’s about to enter high school or maybe is struggling with social skills while in high school, this is a great resource.

The advice on bullies and phony friends is worth the price of admission. I would have given anything for these valuable tips and strategies at the time.

These are areas where one’s nascent self-confidence often brings about uncertain results. “Social Skills Teens Need to Survive High School” helps you to lock-in effective communication skills, while delivering on all the other promises made by the author.
I learned so much that applies with relevance to my life today, so don’t think this is just a “book for kids.”
