Dear Davinna
I am sending this reply to the list because I think it will be of interest to many,
because this is
an issue that affects so many, always has and always will . There is a brand new
book called Girl
Stuff by Australian author Kaz Cooke which is based on 4000 responses to 16
questioned to girls
10-18 and addresses all those things that haunt those years. It is full of
practical advice and
perception, so, for instance, instead of saying "be confident", she actually tells
you how to be.
