Features: Life is full of crises for teenage girls, and you have to face too many new things; trendy clothes, wild parties, handsome boys. One day, you suddenly realize that chasing trends doesn’t mean being liked. When you go on a date with a boy, your parents become overly anxious. The friends you’ve always trusted suddenly badmouth you behind your back. Your body changes rapidly, and people point at you. There’s also drug and alcohol abuse—the kind of thing “bad” kids do in TV shows—but your friends, hiding from adults, actually do it too. How should you handle all this? In this book, Philip Van Manting, a renowned American and father of two daughters, shares how to deal with sensitive and tricky issues: appearance, bad news, the internet, sex, and fate. With wisdom, warmth, and humor, he tells you everything you want to know. His advice and guidance will help you become the woman you dream of being. “Guys Like You Are Only After One Thing” is a must-read for all young girls. It’s fresh, informative, and engaging. I think all parents should read it seriously and give it to their daughters—it says everything you want to tell your daughter, but if you were to tell her yourself, don’t expect her to listen.”—Dr. Phil McGraw (Famous American author and psychologist)
