girl stress independent
Teen girls are figuring out what they want out of life and who they want to be.

girl teenager missing
Sloppy Firsts perfectly captures the turbulent roller-coaster ride that is being a teenager. This is an (at times) intimate, painfully honest peek at a girl's coming of age. Getting to know Jessica was like meeting a new best friend. I miss her already.
