WHEN TEENS THINKý

About the Book

Thirteen

The year of pimples, puberty, and push-up bras
Of heartbreaks, first kisses, and noticing little flaws
When you go from just friends, to just a little more
And you notice each year is better than the one before
First you start to notice
That love is not a game
Then you start to realize that feelings are hard to tame
You soon will discover that people can be mean
This is the very confusing age of thirteen

When Teens Think explores this confusing age of thirteen. You will be able to relate to the lives of these students and be inspired to write poems of your own!
