TeenHelp - Self-Help Books!

When you haven't the money to pay for a therapist or counselor, then nothing beats buying new or pre-used self-help books for handling Anxiety, Social Phobia, Clinical Depression, ADHD, or for just trying to get by as a Teenager. Being book lovers, my twin Julie and I had emotional probs and helped ourselves when nobody else was around. We had motivation in spades, but crucially the first step was buying a book we could share. Happy for doing so, we continued searching for more. What we found we share here, in the hope you will find blessing also.

These books are absolute great, but may be bought pre-used in 'Good Condition' or 'Like New' for a fraction of their list price from local second-hand bookshops in town, town and village libraries (or request your librarian to get it!), amazon, abebooks.com and abebooks.UK or be downloaded via amazon to your phone, laptop or tablets. If you can read just one of these books, I am sure you'll be improving your mood.
