Читать книгу A Smart Girl's Guide: Drama, Rumors & Secrets - Nancy Holyoke - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

In the following pages, girls like you speak out about

drama.

They talk about feuds, gossip, jealousy, competition,

teasing, backstabbing, and exclusion—problems that are

familiar to almost every girl between the ages of seven

and seventeen.

Drama often hits a peak around the time a girl goes to

middle school, but it may start a lot earlier. Some girls

seem to thrive on it. Others suffer badly. Many feel

swept along by a situation that brings out the worst in

just about everybody.

As one girl wrote in a post to American Girl: “Drama stinks,

but everyone has to deal with it.”

This book shows you how to do just that. It explores why

drama exists, how a drama starts, what keeps a drama

going, and how to cool one down. Along the way, you’ll

find quizzes that can help you see how friends create

drama, and how you might be contributing to it yourself.

How can you avoid drama? How can you handle a dramatic

friend? What can you do to protect yourself when a

drama’s raging? That’s all here, too.

By the final pages, we hope you have a whole new under-

standing of what drama is actually about—and a new

appreciation for the power you have to stop it.

Your friends at American Girl
