I am a parent of a teenager. I just started reading Part 1 and felt disgusted, attacked, and canceled by this book! Unbelievable! How dear you?? Who are you Jen Sincero to tell my kids that everything I taught my child is nonsense? That she is not herself because she is who we taught her to be? That her beliefs are not her own beliefs? That the values her father and I have taught her are nonsense and that they have been imposed or forced on her?????This book should be taken out of the market. This is a book that promotes self entitlement, not self esteem. My daughter is who she is (determined, dedicated, hardworking, kind, humble, faithful, honest, compassionate, selfless, and with good values and morals) because of us. Being yourself and achieving your goals doesn’t mean going against your parents, being a rebel, and not believing in God. It’s a shame how this society wants to cancel good values, they brain wash our kids and make them believe that having good values (like not having sex at 15 with whichever and as many guys you like) is something wrong. All the tv shows teenagers are watching now promote lust, promiscuity, early sex (at 14!!!) drugs, alcohol, tobacco, even shop lifting as something fun..among other things. Do you think this is ok????? Do you think my daughter should try all that if she thinks it’s ok? Parents are not forcing beliefs on their kids. They are educating them, preparing them for life. You are a shame Jen Sincero.
