About this ebook

“From doubting your existence to conquering your dreams, and everything in

between.”

Life is a chaotic voyage. From experiencing growth spurts and emotional rollercoaster

rides, to fronting the multidimensional resources and the internet, teens have a lot to

balance. During this journey, parents and peers play a crucial role. It is the need of the

hour, not only for teenagers themselves, but also for adults to understand the mind of a teenager.

This book gives an insight into the life of a teenager today- from the events that affect

them the most to the kaleidoscope of feelings they must endure, and everything in

between. Things that we have all gone through, or are going through, but that no one

talks about.

Candid is a rare version of a teen’s life that encapsulates the untold experiences that

are all part and parcel of teenage years.


CANDID will help you to:

• Question yourself about life and its challenges

• Discover what makes an individual different

• Explore the importance of a social image

• Interpret why teens tend to lean towards their peers

• Understand society’s notion of success and the importance of constant companions: HABITS

• Heal from breakdowns and stress

• Learn the value of self-care and self-love

Let’s begin a new journey. A journey to know yourself better!

Hey all bookworms hope you all doing well😍😍..... “Candid a teens life unfiltered” a book by @santushtityagi a 17 years old. 🍂The book is all about the challenges faced by a teen in his/her teenager period. 🍂 The idea of this book is very unique to approach parents to justify this zoner. We can’t ignore the facts and the way of story telling in this book by mandy who is the main character of this book. 🍂 It describes many aspects of a teenager life.I relate many things about my teenage years when i read it. 🍂I found this book as guide book or a book which can develop understanding about many aspects of life. 🍂I recommend this book to teenagers who feels somewhere broken by challenges of life and feel alone in this age and all the parents who somewhere don’t justify the teenager challenges. 🍂I really like the unique way of describing the challenges of teenage life.

I’m 15, and I’m not an avid reader by far. The author of this book is my own sister and I read this after it got officially published. Where no one expected me to read it (as I don't like to invest my time in reading a book, fairly I would rather watch a movie) but I was eager to read it as the name itself was quite relatable. But as I turned the pages I read things which I as a teenager can feel in my environment but may not be able to express . ‘Candid- A teen’s life: unfiltered’ takes you to a journey where you listen to your own story from someone else’s writings. It feels like you are being given advices and life lessons by your very own elder sibling who’s been through her troubles and bubbles. The title in itself gives you the idea, that the story, the facts, the problems, and lessons come from a very raw and uncooked life journey which in itself is a very special part. Being a teenager in this era is in itself a whole journey, and this book enables us ‘teens’ to look at life from a new perspective. I personally discovered a whole lot of diverse views that i didn’t ever consider, since forever. With the perfect amount of humour, it gives you advices: some that are hit right in-the-face whereas some that give you direction in the most polite ways. I would recommend every other pre-teen, teen, and also the adults to give this little unfiltered version a read so that you know what it actually means when you say teenage years are no less than a ‘rollercoaster ride’. As a reader of this book, I’m impressed the way a 17yo first time author’s book has turned out to be. Worth reading.

"Candid" as the name suggests gives us a very honest view of the life of a teenager. Every teenager can relate to at least a few things if not all that is given in this book. The author through a fictional character Mandy, who has just reached her teenage and few other characters revolving around her shows us the thought process, the struggles of being a teenager, family and career pressure, peer pressure, the influence of social media, teenage love and so on affect a teenager and how one can overcome it. Not just the teenagers, the author has also shared what role the parents have to play when their kids turn into teenagers and how not to react. I liked the way the author has narrated everything in detail being a teenager herself. The author has also included a few useful information that would be helpful for teenagers as well as parents. All these are narrated in a simple and lucid language with few illustrations which take you back to your art classes. This book will make you remember and miss your college days for sure. A very honest and brilliant work by a teenager.
