Product Description
When Rosalind Wiseman first published Queen Bees & Wannabes, she fundamentally changed the way adults look at girls’ friendships and conflicts–from how they choose their best friends, how they express their anger, their boundaries with boys, and their relationships with parents. Wiseman showed how girls of every background are profoundly influenced by their interactions with one another.
Now, Wiseman has revised and updated her groundbreaking book for a new generation of girls and explores:
•How girls’ experiences before adolescence impact their teen years, future relationships, and overall success
•The different roles girls play in and outside of cliques as Queen Bees, Targets, and Bystanders, and how this defines how they and others are treated
•Girls’ power plays–from fake apologies to fights over IM and text messages
•Where boys fit into the equation of girl conflicts and how you can help your daughter better hold her own with the opposite sex
•Checking your baggage–recognizing how your experiences impact the way you parent, and how to be sanely involved in your daughter’s difficult, yet common social conflicts
Packed with insights about technology’s impact on Girl World and enlivened with the experiences of girls, boys, and parents, the book that inspired the hit movie Mean Girls offers concrete strategies to help you empower your daughter to be socially competent and treat herself with dignity.

 If you have a daughter, get this book! November 12, 2009
J. Westenhaver (Austin, TX)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I started reading this book and my only thought was, "holy crap, this kind of stuff cannot really be happening in middle school!" But I sat down my 14-year-old daughter, and sure enough, this book is right on. Which is scary. If you thought middle school was bad before, you can't believe it now.
This book is rather terrifying. But unlike a lot of parenting books (especially those that are more like studies of all the things that are going wrong with kids nowadays), this book has tons of practical help. There are great ideas to help your daughter navigate the shark-infested waters of teenager-hood. (I wish I'd had this book a few years ago when we were enduring a particularly nasty fifth grade year.)
This book will definitely help me to help my three daughters survive and thrive during their pre-teen and teenage years. I have recommended it to everyone I know with daughters. If you buy one book this year, make it this one!
Best parenting book for today's tweens and teens I've ever read November 30, 2009

As a recently retired middle school and Jr Hi educator with a masters degree plus and a grandmother of 2 girls, 12 and 7, I devoured this book and sent it on to my son (the father of the girls) and sister who has an 11 year old. This book tackles the technology issues that coexist with just "growing up" from a knowledgable and uncomplicated references to the damage that cell phones and computer websites can have on young women and girls. I wish I had had access to this in the early 2000's so I could have been more helpful for the students I worked with. Not only does this author bring to life these issues, but she gives many ways to help girls get through this in a more ego friendly, less damaging way. The book cannot just be read by parents as an easy read for themselves, but needs to be read with the child and teach them the techniques that author has provided to help girls "walk away from" gossip and mean peers with a sense of pride, success and understanding of her place in her social world.

Rosalind Wiseman is a wealth of helpful information. I love her approach - it's more than being nice, it's about social competence. She takes a serious, tough topic and belts out practical tips you can really use to help your children deal with the struggles they are bound to encounter at one time or another during their adolescence. Queen Bees and Wannabes makes me want to read ALL of her books. A must read for all parents of both boys and girls. From vickyandjencom
This helped my 12 Year Old Daughter March 28, 2010
K. Williams (Sparks, Nevada)
My daughter is having serious troubles -in 6th grade!- and was abandoned by her "best friend" who joined a group of Nasties. I purchased this book for myself, hoping to help Jess.
I loaned her this book to look thru, and after about an hour of reading she came to me, crying, and we had a several hours long talk about her problems, which she would not talk about before. (So far as I can tell, since my girl is athletic, pretty and smart, she was 'rejected' or chosen as a victim of these gangs because she wasn't interested in joining them. Strange).
Thank you, Ms. Wiseman.
As a result, we are working on many of the problems, and I have ordered several more books in this subject for us both to read.
Also- Jess took this book to school and showed it to some of her friends, and talked about it openly, telling some of the 'Gang Nasties' that they were Wannabees, or other categories named in the book. I gather she found it a very enjoyable -cough- put down of her tormentors.
Fabulous book & lead to a great GSA Meeting April 30, 2010

My wife read this book and found it to be amazing. She used the book as the basis for what she thought was the best meeting she has ever had with her GSA troop.
