Being Enough: Breaking the Walls Between Teenagers and Parents

by Sameep Mangat

What does it truly mean to be enough? To be pretty enough, strong enough, smart enough …good enough?

In this day and age, teenagers are sent into the world with the idea that if they’re not curing cancer or changing the world in some fundamental way, they’re failing. They’re labeled, misunderstood, and constrained. And what should they do when who they want to be clashes with who society tells them to be?

Being Enough presents a refreshing, energetic approach to combatting common issues faced by teenagers during adolescence and constructing avenues of communication between generations. Written from a high schooler’s perspective, this book redefines the meaning of “being enough” and works to tear down the walls between teens and their parents.

Does taking advice from a teenager sound crazy? Yes.
Is it worth it? Most definitely.
