I’m so excited to be in the March 2011 issue of TWIST magazine (yes, that’s Justin Beiber on the cover). They contacted me and asked me to answer some reader questions about pressures from guys, all asked by girls like you. Since it’s a tough world out there and YOU WEAR THE PANTS, I think [...]
The talented Aimee Ferris, whose new book WILL WORK FOR PROM DRESS just came out on Tuesday (congrats, Aimee!), has an ongoing PROMAPALOOZA with various YA authors and their prom pics. Here’s the game: she posts the pictures but doesn’t reveal who the author is. Readers guess and then, Aimee lets the secret out. It’s [...]
I’m still digging out of the mess of stuff I had to send home from my parents’ house over the holidays. There is a lesson here: If you can throw it away, do it. If only I had known that a few years ago. But, there have been some gems from all this stuff. Last [...]
I went home to visit my parents over the holidays and they had a surprise waiting for me. No, not a new car or even a cashmere sweater. Instead, they pulled out ALL of the boxes of stuff I was saving for posterity (or something like that). All fifteen boxes, each filled to the brim [...]
My books are for teens. I mean, I love when parents tell me they like them or teachers say they are smartly written. But really, my books are for you. I want YOU to get something out of them, to find something that’s going to help you when you have a crush and aren’t sure [...]
Your Question: I know a question like this has already been asked, but I really need some help! I just got my period and I don’t want to tell my mom. I know she’s been in the same position as me – when she was my age – but I know that she’ll make a [...]

I recently did an interview with a very cool journalist, Myrna Haskell, who has a parenting column that runs in 10 different states. She asked smart questions, all from the parents point-of-view, about what do to when your teenager starts being interested in (gasp!) the opposite sex. Since we’ve all been there (even the parents!), [...]
I’m shocked that Chris Brown released a video apology expressing “deep regret” for assaulting Rihanna (on TMZ, no less). Does he really think that a video about how his mom taught him better makes up for the fact that he’s abusive? Being sorry, while an important step towards change, does not dismiss the fact that [...]
