“67% of all teens surveyed say they use TikTok, with 16% admitting they use it “almost constantly.” (Pew Research)
“For many teen girls, social media platforms have significant effects on their mental and emotional health.” (Counseling at Northwestern blog)
“…there was a distinct drop in girls’ self-esteem and sense of self between the ages of 11 and 14. At 11, 15% said they felt unhappy about their appearance. However, by the time they were 14, 29% said they weren’t happy.” (Forbes)
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be born into the age of social media like our girls are today. There’s so much happening in our world that only escalates the evil foe of comparison. It’s something many women face, but teen girls have added pressure because of things like online personas, gender identity, mean girls, and more.
It can be frustrating and disheartening to see teens unhappy with the person God created. And after spending 15 years in education with 13-14-year-old girls, I can tell you there is no easy answer. One thing we can ALL do is equip our girls with tools to fight the comparison monster in their lives and discover more about their true selves.
The Over It Devotional for Teen Girls has been out of print for a while, but today I’m thrilled to announce it is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble once again with updated content!
It’s the same 4-week devotional as before, only without any old links or outdated material. I’ve also added a few suggestions to get the most out of the weekly reading.
So to celebrate the re-release, I’m offering downloadable, full size copies of the coloring pages that are found in the book. They are on a special sale on the store page now!
If you’re familiar with the devo, you know there is a coloring page, doodle page, and journaling page at the end of each week. For a short time, I’m providing extra coloring pages as a set. You can use them yourself or print as many copies as you need for a group.
The book is available at Barnes & Noble here:
The book is also available on Amazon here:
Grab a copy for yourself, too, and read alongside your daughter, granddaughter, niece, or whoever God has placed on your heart for this time. It’s designed for girls ages 12 to 16.
May you and your girl be blessed beyond measure as she learns to treasure the amazing young woman God created and kick comparison to the curb for good.
