Just As You Are, by Camille Kellogg

Just As You Are, by Camille Kellogg is about learning yourself, and not hiding yourself from others. It talks about struggles teenagers face with self-confidence, and not staying true to themselves. It teaches you different emotions, and how to manage them and keep calm. It also provides the reader with real life stories from other people based on what the topic is, this lets you know that there are other people with the same struggles as you. This book also gives you advice on how to feel better after stress. 

This book is amazing for teenagers struggling to show a part of themselves. This book is one of my favorites because it opened my eyes to so many things. I realized I don't have to fake some parts of myself and my personality,and I learned how to manage my emotions. This book is so great for helping you with your confidence. What I specifically really liked from this book is how for each chapter where you learn new things, it provides you with stories from other people and their struggles.
