Summary

Ace the nine skills you need to be the kind of teen that thrives in a competitive world.

You thought that high school would never end, and you dreamed of being independent, but as you face your last few years of teen life, the truth sets in: you will be leaving home in no time, and you don’t know if you have what it takes to survive.

Do you look up to other teens who seem to “have it all together?” Those with a wide circle of friends, great time managers, problem-solvers, and savvy enough to make money?

Do you worry about how you will manage as an adult, keep your home clean and tidy, cook healthy meals, have a thriving social life, and balance the many conflicting obligations that college life or young adulthood entails?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, know that you are in the majority.

Around three out of every four teens need more exercise, as found in a 2022 study by the University of Georgia researchers.

Some 83 percent of teens do not know how to manage money, and 87 percent do not know about personal finance, as reported by Fox Business.

Many young adults help to afford a home because of mounting college debt and poor money management.

The mental health of teens in the US is also suffering, with The National Institutes of Health reporting that one in three teens will experience an anxiety disorder.

Teens in current times are facing so many simultaneous pressures. Those who are thriving aren’t doing so because of an “inner talent or ability.”

Every skill you admire in them is something that you can master with ease–especially with the proper guidance!

In this book, you will discover the nine skills you cannot miss out on if you wish to be the kind of teen you are happy to see when you look in the mirror.

Even if you are already super-fit, an A+ student, or a whiz in the kitchen, being a confident teen and a successful, savvy adult depends on the extent to which you hone all the skills in this book.

A fantastic book!!

It's a terrific book, that guides kids through the most difficult years of their lives. Everyone can learn some enduring life lessons from the author's approachable tone and helpful suggestions. The financial literacy article was particularly pertinent given how society is becoming more and more "cashless." Teens find it simpler to spend large sums of money on pointless things, which can quickly lead to debt, when they are unable to visually see the money leaving their wallets. Wells offers simple-to-follow guidance on responsible financial spending and avoiding needless debt. A wonderful book for parents and teenagers to read.

Great Guide For Teens

This book is an excellent guide to help teens take charge of their future by mastering essential skills for success. It is structured around nine core life skills crucial for adulthood: self-confidence, staying safe online or wherever you are, money management (even starting a business), and personal growth. I especially enjoyed the sections on how to be helpful in a household, for example, using the dishwasher and washer/dryer, along with tips for choosing colleges, how to finance it, preparing for a part-time job while in school, and more. It serves as an invaluable guide for teens and parents, providing well-researched advice and easy-to-follow strategies for personal development. I highly recommend this book to equip your teen with the tools they need to thrive as they approach adulthood.
