Teen Girlfriends Celebrating the Good Times,

When girls reaching their teens explore life's big issues, they usually turn to their friends instead of adults for advice, pleasure, and intimate emotional support. The authors of Teen girlfriends interviewed more than 150 young women to discover what makes these peer relationships work, and to celebrate young friendships that may last a lifetime.
