Dear Reader,
Do you tend to worry about things? If so, you’re not alone.
Experts say that at your age many girls start to worry a lot.
They worry about friends and fitting in. They worry about
their grades, their looks, and their families. They may even
worry about whether they worry too much!
Everybody worries, and sometimes it’s a good thing. But
other times worry is like a faucet that won’t turn off.
Worries just keep coming. You don’t feel like the girl you
want to be, because you’re forever fighting your fears,
thinking, What if . . . ? What if . . . ? What if . . . ?
But what if you knew how to handle your worries? What if
you were able to reassure yourself when they bubble up?
What if you could stop some before they even start?
You can—and this book will show you how. Here you’ll
find quizzes and tips to help you learn more about your-
self—and how worry really works. You’ll learn tricks to
help your body feel calmer. You’ll hear from other girls
about how they’ve handled their worries. You’ll get real
help on dealing with your hardest feelings and facing your
worst fears. You’ll also find ideas for chilling out when
you’re stressed and moving on when you make mistakes.
The world will never be worry-free, but worries don’t have
to hold a girl back. We hope this book gives you just what
you need to feel a little calmer and more confident every
day—so that whatever you dream of doing, there won’t be
a worry in the world that can stand in your way.
Your friends at American Girl
