You Don’t Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me

“You Don’t Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way” is like sitting down with a favorite aunt-one who love you-and having a conversation. With lots of stories and quotes, this book honestly talks about the issues that are most important in a young adult life (and were most requested by readers): sex, drugs, peer pressure and setting goals, to the tough stuff like suicide and sexual abuse, to moving forward in life: changes, communicating and living your dreams. This book offers inspiration and understanding to the lives of the readers. It opens doors to healing the hurt places, perhaps even avoiding danger or pain in the future, and gives tools to help build dreams by acknowledging that everyone has gifts in life.
