A Letter to You

Millions of girls have read The Care & Keeping of You. Those readers have written us letter after letter about the way they look and the way they feel: Letters about hair and skin and teeth and nails. Letters about puberty and periods, breasts and bras. Letters about feelings and moods.

Some girls are worried they’re growing up too fast. Others feel

like they’re being left behind. Most want to know if what they’re

going through is normal.

Whatever you’re concerned about, you’re sure to find letters in

this book from girls who feel the same way you do. Reading the

letters may feel like you’re talking with good friends—girls like

you. And we hope our responses will answer your questions, too.

If you want to know more after reading (and you probably will),

ask your parents or another adult you trust. Read the “Tips for

Talking with Parents” at the back of this book to get you started.

You might feel embarrassed or nervous at first, but just jump in.

Each conversation will be easier than the last and will help you

feel more confident about the changes ahead.
