Teen Girls Have New Weapon In War Against Low Self-esteem
Teen Girls have a new tool for strengthening their self-esteem. Goldberry Publishing today announced the release of a new book entitled “Teen Girl’s Survival Guide to Lies, Liars and Lying” by Dr. David A. Camp. The book reveals the secret methods of lie detecting previously available only to law enforcement and government agencies.
Niota, IL (PRWEB) June 5, 2006
The author, a noted criminologist and deception expert, turned his criminal justice deception course into a self-help guide for young women. Dr. Camp stated, “Low self-esteem in teen girls is epidemic and the cause for a wide range of problems. Often a result of feeling powerless, low self-esteem can be countered by providing skills that enhance one’s control over social interactions.”
UCLA medical research and the National Association for Self-Esteem (NASE) claim that poor self-esteem increases cortisol production (associated with weight related problems, depression, accelerated aging, and elevated blood sugar levels) and is directly associated with problems of high blood pressure, school behavioral problems, eating disorders, alcohol/drug use, depression, suicide, and more. The NASE claims that improving self-esteem can serve as a “Social Vaccine” to many issues affecting youth.
Dr. Camp also noted that, “When a teen knows someone is trying to deceive her, she has the upper hand allowing her to ‘see what cards the other players are holding’. This gives her the ability to be more effective in personal and social relationships. In the process, this enhances her self-esteem by improving her physical, social, and psychological health. It gives her a lifelong advantage in dealing with others.”
Although these skills can be used by anyone to obtain control in interviews, negotiations, and personnel disputes, the simplicity and power of these skills is ideally suited to adolescent girls.
In addition to lie detection, “Teen Girls” arms young women with many additional tools such as how to get others to be honest, rules of human behavior, safety tips, signs that friends are being abused, date rape facts and strategies, and much more.
The book, additional support, interesting activities, quizzes and more are provided through the website, teengirlssurvivalguide. com. The book is also available through amazon. com.
