queen bee's and wanna bee's helping your ........ book

It was a gift for a friend who has a step daughter. She said she enjoyed the book and it will be helpful to her

Overall: ok...

I felt that this book was just ok. It was well written, and I can see how it would benefit a parent of a teen. However, I am a teen, and I feel that some of the book was a little too dramatic and harsh on teens. There are some dramatizations of situations which were somewhat unrealistic. Besides this, I feel that it was an interesting read.

Pretty Good Book

I thought that this book is a great book for parents of teens to read. It includes realistic examples of different situations that his/her daughter might be in, but some of the stadegies suggested to solve problems are not always good. I an a teen myself, and I think that some of the ideas given were just another way to embarass the teen rather than help them. the general idea of the book, though, was good.

Great book for school counselors

Great book for counselors to help kids cope with cliques, even though it is written to parents. I have used it in counseling sessions with the girls in the cliques, as well as their targets, to raise their awareness. It has helped change behavior already. It is the best book on girl bullying I have found.

Pretty accurate.

Having been (and perhaps am still) a combination of "queen bee"/"floater", I found this book to be amazingly accurate. Though the situations are a bit overdramatic (and generalized), the book is amazingly accurate when it comes to the social behavior of girls.

Girls are mean (no matter what kind of image they present to you, mommies and daddies reading this, and no girl is an exception to some of the behavior outlined in this book, such as gossiping). We DO backstab, gossip, and hurt each other in the most horrendous ways, and this book highlights it all. However, girls engage in such behavior solely for the reason of revenge, not for the rush of it all. Also, most girls are a combination of the roles given in the book, and through their career in elementary/middle/high school, ALL girls will become "targets" BY MEMBERS OF ANOTHER CLIQUE (there is no all-emcompassing "In" group anymore!), regardless of their position/role. Every girl out there, no matter how "popular" she perceives herself to be, will be hated (and targeted) by a member of another clique.

Moving on, I don't recommend this as a parenting book, but more of a glimpse into "Girl World". It makes for an interesting read, but I disagree with the parenting strategies outlined. It's far too romanticized and idealistic to be applicable in real life, in my opinion.
