Product Description
From Amazon
Life is full of snags and surprises, especially for teens. Every day it's something new: dealing with being dissed, finding out that your friend is into the guy you used to date, realizing that you like a friend of the guy you're dating, bummin' over grades, having hair envy, recognizing trust-busters, figuring out the difference between a funk and depression, and coping with extracurricular heartbreak.
Time to Get Over It! and get on with your life. No, it's not always easy, but with this handy, hip little guide, it can be a whole lot easier than taking the psychotic freak-out route. For its entertainment factor alone, this book is worth its price. But there's also a ton of very real, very healthy, very useful advice behind the way cool lingo. The theme throughout is: calmly confront the problem, express your feelings and needs, and move on to a solution, even if it means saying good-bye to a relationship or a plan. Whether the issue is a boyfriend who pressures you to have sex, a best friend who blabs your secrets, or dealing with a new stepfamily, Get Over It! has a solution. There are other goodies too, such as a sure-fire cure for The Dump (recipe for chewy brownie cookies included), a top 10 list of ways to torture your siblings ("No. 8. Stash tampons in your brother's backpack"), and some hilarious true confessions by real teens who have handled some of these same crises--and not always in the most mature fashion. (Ages 13 and older) --Emilie Coulter

1.0 out of 5 stars
stupidity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Get Over It!: How to Survive Break-ups, Back Stabbing Friends, and Bad Haircuts (Paperback)
dear sweet someone! this was the worst book. never should have ordered it. honestly, you can get better advice from Seventeen Magazine or any other magazine or teen website. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! It was a complete and total waste. I'm sorry, but its just so stupifying. The 'pretend' situations almost never occur to anyone. And if those situations do happen, the 'solution' provided would not help. Real life situations are always more complex than A, B, C. Save yourself the time and money.

This review is from: Get Over It!: How to Survive Break-ups, Back Stabbing Friends, and Bad Haircuts (Paperback)
If a more comprehensive and thoughtful guide has been written on this subject, I've never seen it. The book may have been put out by Teen Magazine, but the insights within will inspire and challenge anyone from 3-103! I recommend it as a definite must-read!!
