• I wish I had known about this book back in high school it would have been a great help or at the very least a soothing escape. Though four years too late it still helps in college settings
• Great book for teens and parents of preteens (to be ahead of the game) and of teens to help the parents and teens cope and relate to each other.The web site related is helpful too.
• Modern American girls grow up in a world that is so fundamentally different than that of their male counterparts that most girls end up with a feeling of isolation within a greater society. Trying to "fit in," struggling with self worth, and discovering her own identity leads many a young woman to hide her real thoughts and to keep secrets (even dangerous ones) from those who can help, and even from herself. Whether the secret involves sexual harassment, an eating disorder, family tragedies, or depression, American girls almost seem to be "trapped by the cult of secrecy" that is the norm of the female society.
  
  Secrets Girls Keep What Girls Hide (& Why) and How to Break the Stress of Silence addresses this tendency to keep quiet about what is most important in a growing girl's life and tries to help solve the underlying issues that cause the secrecy. The book is full of actual accounts from real girls from many walks of life. Their problems range across the realms of self esteem, boys and dating, friends, bullying, school, alcoholic family members, money, internet socialization, depression, drugs, eating disorders, cutting, and teen pregnancy (to name a few). Within each category, Carrie Silver-Stock takes the reader through a list of seven tips that can be used to deal with the problem underlying the secret at hand. These tips are use your gut (intuition); discover and use your strengths; choose and respect the right friends; be courageous and confident; be and stay fit; dream big; and get outside yourself (help others who have the same problem). Silver-Stock illustrates how these seven tips can be adapted to all situations and how breaking the secrecy cycle will help girls develop into fully functioning young women.
  
  Carrie Silver-Stock is a licensed social worker who has spent many years working with young girls struggling with the varying issues that affect their development and futures. She has founded a social networking site called girlswithdreams.com that advice and support for teenage girls and she references this site often throughout the book. Secrets Girls Keep shares the personal stories of many girls and provides insight and solutions for many of life's struggles. It is a "must read" for any growing young lady or any parent/guardian of a teenage girl.
• Some people might right away step away from this book, labeling it a self help book and automatically walking away. Secrets Girls Keep is much more than a self help book, it's kind of a lifeline for teenage girls. Silver-Stock's writing was realistic and girls could relate to the topics she discussed, and learn from it. The author tackles a variety of topics- sex, friendship, school, boys, drugs, eating disorders, beauty, and much, much more. There were quotes from girls who had dealt with the certain problems and it made the reader feel like they weren't alone- there are other girls out there dealing with stress in school, friendship problems, etc. Many self help books out today just annoy me- you can tell the author knows nothing about what it's like being a teenager today and I'm wary to pick them up. But you can tell the author of this book is nothing like that, she can see right into the head of teenagers. Secrets Girls Keep is a book I will recommend to my friends and it's even good for parents.
  
  There were little quizzes in the book, tips, suggestions, all kinds of things put together in a likable format. There's a table of contents in the beginning so you can turn to the specific page that deals with the answer your looking for, which I found really helpful. Since reading this, I've skimmed it several more times and know I will look at it more in the future.
  
  The author never put the reader down, but rather guided them and gave suggestions on where to change things for the better. By the end of the book you'll be feeling a lot better about yourself. There are even other sources for help in the pages of Secrets Girls Keep, self help lines, websites, etc. Secrets Girls Keep will help you open up to your friends and family and is an overall great and informative read.
  
  Realistic, honest, and truly helpful, I recommend picking up Secrets Girls Keep if you are a parent of a teenager or a teenager yourself.
• Self help books ( which is what Secrets That Girls Keep is) can go in a lot of ways. Some are way too preachy, some are just so annoying you want to throw them at a wall and never look back, and some are just the kind of book that you feel like everyone should read because of the greatness contained inside. Secrets Girls Keep was the last of the three, thankfully.
  
  In Secrets Girls Keep there were a list called " Seven Tips Every Girl Needs to Deal with Any Problems" which I personally found to be really easy for any teen girl to apply to their own problems from Beauty to Boys to Funky Family Stuff. Plus, it even gave you a step by step look at they can be applied to every issue in the book which was helpful. Further more, I loved how Carrie included wide range of topics in the book that covered almost all the basses for every category.
  
  Though, the one thing I wasn't too found of was how sometimes Carrie's tone could become a bit "preachy" ( which is a big no no for me as the reader which you can tell from above), but these little chunks were far and few, leaving it to be no that big of a nuisance.
  
  In all, this book is a great read for teens, because I seriously doubt you won't be able to find at least one situation in the book that your dealing with currently or have in the past.
• Some of the subjects are intense, but the need for the information in this book is immeasurable. This is a must read for every teen/preteen girl. I think every mother of a teen girl should buy two of these books, give one to her daughter and read the other one herself. They should read one chapter at a time and then sit down together and discuss what they've read. Kudos to Carrie Silver-Stock for this much needed book!
