Amazon.com Review
The birds and bees have never been so hip, thanks to Esther Drill, Heather McDonald, and Rebecca Odes, creators of gURL.com and authors of Deal with It! A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain and Life as a gURL. As their Web site blossomed in popularity, the gURLs noticed that today's teens have the same questions about sex, love, and growing up that they had as teens. "Hearing what they had to say convinced us that there was a need for a new kind of book about being a girl, one that's smart, funny, approachable, and tuned in to the things girls really want to know." With chapters such as "Boobs," "What's Up Down There," "To Do It or Not to Do It," and "Those Sucky Emotions," the gURLs have got everything covered--with the frankness, humor, and style frustratingly absent from the majority of similarly themed books. All topics are fair game: zit remedies; a dazzling array of hair removal techniques; masturbation methods; sexual positions and orientations; what to do if you are raped; how to deal with anger, depression, and anxiety; the physical effects of different drugs; how to get along with friends and family; and more. In addition to a cooler-than-cool, color-drenched layout and loads of detailed info, Deal with It includes a ton of questions, comments, and personal advice from teenage girls who frequent gURL.com. Reading page after page of these earnest, confused, and curious young voices drives home the need for a book like Deal with It and makes clear that the women of gURL.com have met that challenge with resounding success. (Ages 12 and older) --Brangien Davis
Product Description
Deal With It! offers a whole new approach for dealing with your life as a girl. It's a resource to help you learn about, laugh about, and figure out the stuff you go through on your way through life. It won't tell you what to do, because you'll need to decide that for yourself. But whether you're wondering about your body, your feelings or your changing relationships with the people around you, this book provides accurate information and outlines your options. Hilarious illustrations point out the humor in even the sorriest situations. And with hundreds of excerpts from real-girl conversations on the gURL.com website, you can see for real that whatever you're going through, you're not alone.This book is for anyone who needs to know what it means to be a girl -- from those on the edge of their teens to those who are way past them but still reeling from the trauma.

 Very Informative! March 11, 2008

Purchased this for my 12 year old. I am going to wait a short while to give to her, as some material is slightly more explicit than I realized, otherwise, I could sit with her and read or look through for now. Very, very informative & concise. I am glad to see the honesty in the presentation of some very "hot" topics.
Deal With It! Helped me, well...Deal with it! September 17, 2007
Amanda Jackson (Festus, MO United States)
I was 13 when i first purchased this book for myself through the teen people book club they had way back when, because my mom didn't really talk to me a whole lot about the topics they discussed in this book like periods,sexual diseases,bra types, etc. Without this book, I would have been lost! It helped me grow and mature,and unfortunately because of my constant flipping and reading, my copy has fallen to pieces, but it's information will stay with me for a lifetime!
 Great Book for teens February 15, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I got this book from my local library and i just have to say that its wonderful! [...]. Even better, they have other girls opinions and advice in just about every page! They even stuff like what a model's picture goes through before it gets put in a magazine or something. This fantastic book covers just about everything you need to know! They explain why you have suckish feelings. They have pages about peer pressure. They give you facts about STDs too.
[...] First of all, RATE this book properly! I know this stuff must disgust you, but what about the other wonderful things they tell you that teens need to know? Also, you could just cut out the pages you dont want your kid to see. How dumb are you people??? [...]

I get why parents wouldn't want their daughters getting answers to the questions this book addresses. But the fact is, girls get answers, just not always the right ones. To the mom worried about the bj, someday someone else will give those instructions, don't fret. The fact is, this book offers some life-saving information. Perhaps not all moms are close enough to their daughters to buy them this book, but that's exactly why there are aunts and big sisters out there.
Wonderful, True Education October 21, 2006

This book is what we should be giving to our daughters. In conservatively blinded America their is a guise saying that lying to our children and keeping them ignorant will save their souls. The truth is this, we are sexual creatures, sex is a gift, we should celebrate it, learn about it, and practice it as safely as possibly. For the mothers who thought this book was filth you put your children in danger, I asked one thing of my own mother, tell me the truth, the whole truth. This book kept me from makign a lot of mistakes growing up and it made me feel rpoud and comfrotable with my own body. Wheras the "Christian Sex Book" my mother had originally given me taught me nothing. It made me feel ashamed like my body was bad and unholy. I told my mom this and she was sincerely sorry, having thought that a book bought from the christian book store would have a higher sense of truth telling.
This book is wonderful, every teen girl should be given one by her mother.
