Free Stay Strong: Simple Life Lessons For Teens Ebooks Online
Hailed as "411 for the Under-21" by People Magazine, Stay Strong is equal parts advice and inspiration from Hollywood public relations pro Terrie Williams. At the core of Stay Strong is the idea that with the right attitude and strategies, kids can truly accomplish anything. And Terrie Williams is the ideal person to encourage and inspire. Her solid advice about ambition, goals and making real, personal connections speaks to readers without a hint of preaching. Urging them to stick to just a few simple but powerful rules -- tools that have successfully served Terrie's famous clients - Janet Jackson, Wesley Snipes, and Boyz II Men, for example. Terrie also lends insight into real teens' lives, and captivates with true rags-to-riches success stories. People will respect you if you respect them, she urges - as long as you can have that courage not to conform. As Terrie says at the closing of every conversation, above all else, "Stay Strong."

This book is great for two types of children: a grammar-school child that has yet to experience the peer pressure described in this book and a high-risk child that requires the positive reinforcement she/he lacks at home.From a teen-ager's perspective, the book is boring and is filled with what my 13-year-old describes as "the same old thing." This book appeals to the misguided and naive, neither of which my child happens to be.From a parental perspective, the book reinforces a passive approach to addressing combative people/situations with which I had much difficulty advocating. On a personal level, the author believes her life experiences qualifies her to write an advice book of this nature and I applaud her efforts; however, she will probably feel differently about 50% of the advice she has given AFTER she has raised her own children.
Brought this book for my 15 year old who read it in no time which is a welcomed change for her
My sunday school class will receive a lot of life's lessons from the book and to know that it's in a language and a font that teenagers understand makes the book more noteworthy. They will realize how exciting it is to stayi strong and that it is a way of life, not just an option!
This book should be recommended reading for middle schools and high school students. Manners and social behavior is mentioned in book. Definitely a great read.
