How to Manage Your Social Power in Middle School [EPUB ebook] 
Kid Confident Book 1

“Smart and essential!” —Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
‘They used to tell kids to chant ‘sticks and stones’ or ‘just ignore it.’ It didn’t work. This book helps kids find the opposite approach: don’t ignore it; understand it.’–Tom Angleberger, Origami Yoda

Do you know what “social power” is? HINT: You experience every day, you share it with your friends and classmates, and when it is balanced and equal, you feel AWESOME. But when it’s unequal or out of whack, you feel All. That. Drama… right?  
This book gives you a real look at the social life of middle graders and offers expert ways to deal when unbalanced social power situations and unfriendly peers happen. Loaded with safe and appropriate strategies and easy-to-apply advice, you’ll get just what to need to blossom and grow though an often turbulent time in your life. With this, you will thrive in your friendships, figure out who you are, become the best version of yourself, and have a rock-solid sense of confidence.
