Editorial Review: Product Description
It's all about making friends and being a good friend! The teen years can be tricky -- especially if you are a girl. Let's face it, teen girls deal with pressures and dilemmas that teen boys couldn't even dream of, let alone handle! In How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls, Donna Dale Carnegie, daughter of the late motivational author and teacher Dale Carnegie, brings her father's time-tested, invaluable lessons to the newest generation of young women on their way to becoming savvy, self-assured friends and leaders. How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls offers concrete advice on teen topics such as peer pressure, gossip, and popularity. Teen girls will learn the most powerful ways to influence others, defuse arguments, admit mistakes, and make self-defining choices. The Carnegie techniques promote clear and constructive communication, praise rather than criticism, emotional sensitivity, tolerance, and a positive attitude -- important skills for every girl to develop at an early age. Of course, no book for teen girls would be complete without taking a look at how to maintain friendships with boys and deal with commitment issues and break-ups with boyfriends. Carnegie also provides solid advice for older teens beginning to explore their influence in the adult world, such as driving and handling college interviews. Full of fun quizzes, "reality check" sections, and true-life examples, How to Win Friends and Influence People for Teen Girls offers every teenage girl candid, insightful, and timely advice on how to influence friends in a positive manner.

Summary: Good advice for the young and old!
Date: 2008-07-27 - 
Comment: This book gives good advice for REAL situations that are often encountered. The advice is good in that it encourages girls to "let it go" rather than holding a grudge, explains how to keep the peace with their parents, and is chock full of good examples. The advice is geared more towards teen situations (or tweens) but is good advice to anyone!

Summary: Ok wow...
Date: 2007-07-20 - 
Comment: How come none of the reviewers noted that most of the advice in this book is completely obvious and basic? Most people should already know this stuff: be a good listener, don't complain, don't act fake, etc. This guide is only for the teen that is clueless on how to act. I'm a fifteen year old, and this guide has not helped me any. Save your money.

Summary: School Library Journal Seems to want the book to be something it is not.
Date: 2007-04-19 -
Comment: Of course, I did not read this particular book but I did read the original "How to Win Friends and Influence People" title, and neither purport to solve the *social* issues that the School Library Journal reviewer would have liked.
It's a shame we cannot give our teens a guide and send them off to the library - we've got 'better' things to do like watch CSI or American Idol, right? God forbit we get off our butts and parent our children on social drinking, date rape, etc. Let's leave that to the shrink authors, Right?
This book is NOT about those issues, and it does no good to slam it because it is not. It may be like complaining that my mathematics book has no biology in it. I do not see the point. Of course, that is just my opinion and I could be missing the boat here.
It is about how to behave socially and interact with people and make them feel good about meeting you, how to avoid unecessary confrontation; how to handle confrontation when it is unavoidable; how to avoid resentment from the people you meet. Etcetera, etcetera. All good active, social-building skills that us old-timers from the 50's-60's seem to have not forgotten about, yet the so-called "Neo's" frown upon because it seems like a sort of concession to their peers.
Don't believe it.
You'll get way further if you follow the advice in this book.

Summary: A must for Teen Gals!
Date: 2005-11-11 -
Comment: Childhood ends at the age of 13 and it's when problems start coming in. Friendship quarrels, parent-daughter fights, even boy problem.
This books deals with any problems a girl gets in her teenhood. Being a teen is not easy, especially when you're a girl.
I'm 15 and am studying in a girls school. You won't believe the amount of backfighting girls get in a year. You don't even know who's your friend anymore. Discrimination takes place on nerds and geeks. Mother-daughter trouble (it's funny why only the mother gets all the problems while she was the one who gave birth),laziness (it's always when you're a teen that you lose all your interest in studying, this applies to most teens).
This book teaches you how to prevent from discriminating, how to make people like you by avoiding arguments, giving an ear to a conversation, smiling and being humble.
It's a question why most girls now have to cope with so much stress at such young ages. This book also teaches you how to lessen stress.
All in all, Girls must read this book! It can save your life and your reputation.

Summary: Be well-liked, or popular, at school!
Date: 2005-07-27 -
Comment: Seriously, this tells you HOW TO BE POPULAR, in the sense of being "well-liked". Dale Carnegie's daughter reveils the socializing secrets for girls here.
It's one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. This is an easy read, and it changed my life in terms of my social interactions. I really wish I had it back in middle school in high school so I could have had a lot more friends!
Adults, buy this book for the teen girls in your life...they'll love you for it. Girls, get this book as soon as you can. You'd be depriving yourself if you pass this by. Believe the hype, this is truly an excellent book.
