"Raising teens today is a challenge. In many cases, raising teen girls today are more challenging. Struggling with peer pressure, appearances, hair, clothes and cliques - it never seems to end.

Parenting expert, and renown author, Dr. Michele Borba (BIG Book of Parenting Solutions) recently discussed this growing concern in teen culture.
