Do you find making small talk or mingling with a crowd a complete and utter nightmare? Don't fret - you are not alone. In fact, nearly half of teenagers consider themselves shy... which means some of your schoolmates and friends are also facing the same struggles as you. It's completely normal to be shy - you're dealing with a lot of changes, from your body to your hormones, and your environment to new experiences. All these while living in a fast-paced, high-tech, social-media-driven world... it's no wonder why you just want to be invisible sometimes. But while there are perks of being a wallflower, it also hinders you from fully experiencing the magical time of your teenage years. Here's the good news: There's no stopping you from turning things around and finally kicking that shyness to the curb. Fortunately, this book is packed with useful and easy-to-learn techniques you can use to build your social skills and make positive changes happen. While it would be amazing if you could just make your shyness disappear with just one click, it doesn't work that way. When it comes to building social skills, it's a journey that requires learning, practicing, and reflecting. Flipping the script to a whole new you - better, bolder, and braver - takes work... but if you trust the process, it'll all be worth it.--From back cover
