As a parent you know that your 'child' is not just another teenager, struggling to grow up. She is your daughter. That in itself makes her the most unique and important teenager in the world. But when your sweet little girl suddenly stops talking, won't do anything you tell her to do, and starts dressing like she stepped out of a celebrity magazine, you start wondering what went wrong.
Michelle Mitchell has spent the last 10 years day-in, day-out, listening and talking with teenage girls about their lives, loves, hates and hopes. In this book she reveals that its what your daughter isn't telling you rather than what she does tell you that matters the most.
Featuring an engaging and fresh voice, this book is full of straightforward advice in a complicated world. Its honesty, reality and practicality is ably illustrated by the many real anecdotes from teenagers themselves about their hectic everyday lives.
"As parents of two teenage girls, my wife Lisa and I recommend What teenage girls don't tell their their parents, and believe it will be a valuable source of information for many parents. I congratulate Michelle and Youth Excel for the production of this book and for the difference they have made to the lives of hundreds of young people across Brisbane."

"A refreshing thoughtful take on the teenage girl's experience 'straight from the horse's mouth'. At times humorous and at other times heartbreaking, Michelle delves beyond the surface to a deeper 'heart level' connection, and sheds light on what our daughters are REALLY thinking about."
- Dr Robi Sonderegger, Clinical Psychologist
"Michelle has a marvellous way of speaking the truth in a way that parents can all appreciate. Sometimes shocking, yet straight from the heart — an insightful read. Parents will benefit greatly from this book and find that they are not alone in their battle."
