A head full of everything : inspiration for teenagers with the world on their mind / by Oattes, Gavin,1979-author.; John Wiley & Sons,publisher.(CARDINAL)153984;
Somewhere Now -- Head. Cloud. Heart. Sleeve. -- Don't Quit the Daydream -- You Are Not Everyone Else -- Forever Elsewhere -- Putting the Trolley Away -- Awkward! -- Once Upon a Time, the End."Welcome to life. Teenage life. The most awkward 7 years you'll ever have. 84 months of change, 364 weeks of weird and 2555 days of inconvenience and spots. On the grand scheme of things, it's not a lot. Unless you're an actual teenager, in which case, it's EVERYTHING! "It's the best years of your life!" they tell us. And yet, while it should be, for so many it just doesn't feel like it. For most it's an emotional assault course of acceptance, stress, anxiety, heartbreak and peer pressure, all whilst navigating the 'hashtagony' of social media. Often misunderstood by society and misrepresented by the media, teenagers have it tough. Truth is, they are decent human beings with a head full of dreams and the weight of the world on their shoulders. Bestselling author, award-winning comedian and international keynote speaker, Gavin Oattes has written a personal development title for teens with a difference -- there's no waffle, no dad chat, no fluff and teenagers will actually want to read it! Full of hilarious, real-life inspiration and a few crazy ideas along the way, A Head Full of Everything will leave its readers motivated, energised and reassured that nobody has life all figured out. A Head Full of Everything demonstrates that being a teenager doesn't have to suck. And when it does, there's some cool things you can do to make it suck a little less. Gavin Oattes challenges his young readers to embrace their inner weird, never grow up, be true to themselves, protect their mental health and be sure that for their 7 glorious teenage years, they act their age. Literally. Warning: This book is a little bit like a teenager. It finds itself funny, it's a bit rough around the edges, it's full of great (maybe crazy) ideas and occasionally it's a little inappropriate. Oh, and it isn't normal...but then neither are you"--

Includes bibliographical references and index.Teenage girls can be mean.

Surviving Girlhood provides a unique resource for preventing girl bullying by addressing the root causes and helping girls to be strong, positive individuals. Part 1 covers the facts on girl bullying, how to understand it, and the particular complexity of girls. Part 2 includes over 60 tried-and-tested activities that will help girls understand their needs, values, beliefs and influences as drivers for their behaviour. Through five key themes, from 'Being Me' to 'Conflict Resolution', they will also build self-awareness, self-esteem, and strong relationship skills. This photocopiable resource will be an invaluable tool for teachers, youth workers, counsellors, youth offending teams, behavioural specialists and all those working with girls aged 11--16.
