This kid’s self-help book helped me a lot. It was really easy to understand. I learned to believe in myself and how to make my own fashion clothes. Which is great! You taught me how to make my own goals, dreams, hobbies, relationships, fame, life and family.

I learned that school is important for my education. I learned that believing in yourself is good because other kids may think you’re not cool, but you don’t have to listen to them. Always believe in yourself, you are your best cheerleader!!

Peer pressure is hard to understand and very tricky. Like when sometimes someone you think is your friend want you to do something wrong like drugs, have sex, or drink, and you don’t want to. You find out that they really aren’t your friends after all. Your real friends wouldn’t try to pressure you into doing something you don’t want to.

Music, which I love, is my own expression of me. I like Jesse McCartney and Keith Urban. I learned that even though when my mom and dad get on to me to clean my room, they are only doing it because they love me. I might not like it but I love them anyway. I also learned that being famous is hard, but I want to be famous just like you. I want to write books, I already write short stories, and I want to be a movie star. I also like drawing clothes. One of my favorite saying in “Amber’s Guide for Girls” is when dealing with your fashion style “If you feel good in it, then go with it.”

Thanks for writing this book, for making it easy for a young girl (I’m only 11) to really understand, for all the really cool make-up tips, hair tips. The fashion advice is AWESOME!!! You make it not so hard to stand up for me, because if I don’t stand up for me then no one will. I am the most important person in my life I know that now, but it doesn’t hurt to have great friends, a good little sister (even if she can be annoying), and GREAT parents. I have all that so, I think I’m doing pretty good!!
