  21. In their own words… “When I turned 13, everything changed! You are now officially a teenager but you are not ready for a lot of what is happening to you – the peer pressure, pressure from boys, pressure to look a certain way, family pressures. It’s hard because your friends are going through it too and you don’t know what to do.” -Kendra, age 13 “Adults always say they understand but really they don’t. We are growing up in a society where as teenagers we can’t be just girls, but young women who are being stressed out to be perfect in every respect. We are being told to grow up and take on more responsibilities, to achieve good grades, and to go into the world and make something of ourselves.” -Jennifer, age 17
