      Letter to You

      When you were little, your parents took care of you.

      Now that you’re older, you’re taking over a lot of that

      responsibility, and it’s not always easy to know what

      to do or how to ask for help.

      It’s a struggle for any girl to ask questions when she’s

      dying of embarrassment and digging for the right words

      to use.

      So, what can you do? For starters, you need to get

      information. The more you know about your body,

      the less confusing and embarrassing growing up will

      seem—and the easier it will be to talk about.

      We hope the head-to-toe advice in this book will give

      you the words to start a conversation with your parents

      or other adults you trust. Your parents were there for

      you when you were little, and they can still be there for

      you now. If you speak up, no matter how awkward you

      feel, your confidence and spirit will grow right along

      with your body!
