Preface
About A Girls World: What Makes This Book Special
Introduction: Share the Dream

1. The Me Nobody Knows


First: Who am I?
Honors class is too tuff!
My temper is too hot to handle!
My friends want to change my religion!
My boyfriend dumped me because I'm not pretty enough


2. Alone and lonely

Kids on my bus avoid me like the plague!
Commutting to my new school is killing me!
I moved into a nest of vipers
Unpopular kids ignored by teacher
Lonely in foster care. Help!
A broken leg meant attention. Now it’s healed and I’m ignored!
Popular kids keep picking on me


3. Wishing I Were Different

I goofed up in public. Now my confidence is shot!
What do all those "bad" words mean?
I’m called "The Loser" and it stinks!
They stare and whisper because I’m different
I look more "mature" than others in my class
Older kids think I'm a baby
My classmates laughed at me!
My mom makes me dress like a dork!
My kind of music turns everyone off
I love softball . . . but I'm lame at it. They laugh.


4. Things I Can't Talk About with My Parents

I’m a total slave around the house since mom left!
I can handle TV violence. My parents think I can't!
I got an "F." I'm afraid to tell my parents!
Not enough money in our family
Sometimes dad gets drunk and drives
My parents want me to be an exchange student. I don't want to.
I'm black. My foster family is white.
Divorced Mom is getting married and Dad hates it!


5. Scared to Tell Anyone

An older boy got way too fresh. I'm scared!
A stalker is ruining my life
Our bus driver winks and gives me dirty looks!
My dad gets threatening phone calls. I'm scared!
I'm black; he's white. I'm afraid to ask him out
Being bullied!
Going to the doctor freaks me out!
My best friend isn't eating!
I'm home-schooled. Now I'll be in public school in another country!
7th grade means more work!


6. Out of My Control

Am I too emotional?
I'm plagued with teen acne
I was diagnosed with cancer and I'm scared. Help!
Dad has chronic fatigue. How can I help?
I'm in a wheelchair, and people make fun
They call me "Shorty"
I think my friend is faking a "learning disability"
My mom has Hepatitis C!
Boys think my gal pal and I are TOO close!
My best pal's dad is in trouble with police!


7. Worried About My World

What can we do about school safety?
More trouble at school means I lose my foster home!
Kids at my school turn to violence to solve problems
My best friend can't give up drugs. Help!
Surrounded by druggies!
My friends smoke. I don't want them to die!
I want to switch schools!
I like a guy who's bad for me
Guys are seriously fighting and it's my fault!


8. Dealing with Depression and Death

They call me "Moody" but I'm terribly depressed!
I'm constantly overwhelmed with everything!
My best friend talks about death a lot
When I get angry, I cut myself. Help me!
He went back to his ex. I just want to die!
When my step-mom died, I lost my confidence!
Since our cat died, nothing is the same!
My friend is dying! What do I do?
My boyfriend died in a car crash!
