★A hush-hush “level-up guide” slipped into your hand—written for anyone “not yet grown, no longer a child.”
★These aren’t “how-to-be-better” manuals; they’re invitations to “get better together.” No lecturing, just a slightly-older friend laying out every stumble and tear in plain language so you understand yourself—and everyone else.
★Crack any volume and you’ll smell the same anxiety your classmates wear; turn the page and find the exact antidote. Real-life cases you can step into, plus grab-and-go micro-skills.
★The answer books every teen actually needs: every confusion about parents, friends, yourself, and the wider world in one set. By the last page you’ll see “growing up” not as a solo boss fight but as a string of gentle counter-moves—toward parents, friends, the world, and yourself.
★Parent gold, too: see the digital-era struggles your kids face, decode the fireworks on both sides, and learn to talk and reconcile.

Series Introduction
Lately psychology has gone mainstream: celebrities open up about depression in vlogs, influencers unpack “toxic relationships” in 30-second clips, and TV characters get crowd-diagnosed in scrolling bullet comments. Peel off the tech veneer and adolescence is still the same journey—separation anxiety, identity formation, drawing boundaries—only the stage set has changed.
Ironically, modern schooling, in the name of “not falling behind at the starting line,” quietly trades childhood and free time for parental anxiety and ambition. Schedules swell, screen time lengthens, real conversation shrinks. Surprisingly, kids have sharpened their emotional radar: they spot gaslighting fast, put scare quotes around “it’s for your own good,” and even assign parents “psych homework.”
When parental authority is no longer the default, kids need a “stand-by adult” who doesn’t preach or take over. These books play that role—offering a quiet lounge with the door ajar and the light always on, where answers surface as you turn the pages.

The series includes 4 books:
-I'm So Done! How to Make Parents Press Pause
-You're Crossing the Line! How Not to Let Yourself Be Steamrolled
-Nobody Likes Me! When You Feel Abandoned by the World
-I Said No! Please Don’t Use “It’s for Your Own Good” to Guilt-Trip Me

If you think “No one cares what I think” or “I’m all alone in this huge world”—remember: you are not alone. Everyone feels abandoned at some point; that moment isn’t the end, it’s a starting point that can be changed.
This book won’t spoon-feed you platitudes like “Just smile more” or “Change your perspective” (though sometimes they do help). Instead, we unpack real-life scenes and talk about: how to communicate with parents and friends; what to do about crushes or break-ups; how to find your “same-frequency” circle; how to fight loneliness; we’ll even do “distraction drills” together to yank your brain out of negative loops and level-up step by step until you find the most reliable support there is—yourself. Yes, you heard that right. Even if you don’t feel confident now, trust that a giant power sleeps inside you; once awakened, it will be the sturdiest backer of your life. This book’s job is to light the fuse.
