Things to do before you're 5 and 3/4
Welcome to life. Teenage life. The most awkward 7 years you'll ever
have; 84 months of change, 364 weeks of weird and 2,555 days of
scrolling and inconvenience. In the grand scheme of life, it's not
a lot. Unless you're an actual teenager, in which case, it's
EVERYTHING! "It's the best years of your life!" they tell us. And
yet, while it should be, for so many it just doesn't feel like it.
For most it's an emotional assault course of acceptance, stress,
anxiety, heartbreak and peer pressure, all whilst navigating the
'hashtagony' of social media. Misunderstood by society and
misrepresented by the media, teenagers have it tough. A Head Full
of Everything demonstrates that being a teenager doesn't have to
suck. And when it does, there's some cool things you can do to make
it suck a little less. This book will challenge you to embrace your
inner weird, to never grow up, be true to yourself, protect your
mental health and be sure that for your 7 glorious teenage years,
you act your age. Literally. Bestselling author, award-winning
comedian and international keynote speaker, Gavin Oattes has
written a personal development title for teens with a difference -
there's no waffle, no dad chat, no fluff. Full of hilarious,
real-life inspiration and a few crazy ideas along the way, A Head
Full of Everything will leave you feeling motivated, energised and
reassured that nobody has life all figured out.
