Have a Better Life

Young girls struggle everyday with their body. Am I fat? Am I too thin? Do I have pimples? Why do I have to use stretch marks cream? Why my body has a different shape from my best friend?

These questions are real and they can be traumatic for young girls who don’t understand why they are different or why they are not similar to a friend.

The book Body Drama: Real Girls, Real Bodies, Real Issues, Real Answers by Nancy Amanda Redd is absolutely amazing. Quoting one of the reviewers from Amazon Dr. Paul:

It’s unique as advice for teenage girls about their bodies: sharp, brainy, witty beyond merely funny, yet compassionate and never derogatory. You know what this book exudes? Sass with class.

…

The author speaks from experience, kicking in things about herself as a minor Body Drama Queen. But the book isn’t about her; it’s about how to fix the root of a major American psycho-social problem: the perception of female bodies. The solution: start with girls themselves. Duh! If girls can treat themselves to fact instead of fiction, their body confidence will surely rise, along with everyone’s well-being.

Product Description from Amazon:

“You’d think a Miss America swimsuit winner would feel completely confident about her body, right? Not always! So I decided to write the book I wish I’d had as a teen and in college— an honest, funny, practical, medically accurate, totally reassuring guide to how women’s bodies actually look, smell, feel, behave, and change. Alongside real-deal photographs of women just like you and me (no airbrushing, no supermodels, no kidding) you’ll find medical pictures of things you need to be able to recognize, true confessions by yours truly, and the encouragement you need to appreciate the uniqueness, strength, and beauty of your body. What are you waiting for?”
