Mental Prescription & Language Study for Teenagers

Director Im-Sook Lee, the bestselling author of 『Mom's Language Study』 and a strong parenting mentor to 500,000 parents, has published her first book for teenagers, 『14-Year-Old's Language Study』.
Adolescence is an important time when we spend more time and build relationships with people other than our family within the small community of school.
To help you fill this crucial time with strong relationships that will become lifelong assets, the author, an expert in adolescent psychology, has stepped forward.
The author, who has met various children and adolescents for 25 years, read and cherished their delicate minds, and conducted over 30,000 psychological counseling sessions, has smoothly solved the problem of 'friendships', one of the biggest concerns of adolescence, with solutions tailored to the perspective of teenagers.

"My best friend talks behind my back?", "How do I turn down a friend who approaches me and makes me feel uncomfortable?", "How do I deal with a friend who underestimates me and keeps asking unreasonable requests?", etc. 『Speech Study for 14-Year-Olds』 strengthens the emotional muscles of adolescence, which is often swayed by relationships that don't go as planned, and instills the courage to build healthy friendships without being swayed by friends.
As you follow the author's solutions, your self-esteem will grow on a firm foundation, and you will naturally develop the power to affirm yourself in your relationships with others.
This book isn't just about math formulas that you forget after a few tests, but rather, it's about building a solid foundation of social skills that you can use throughout your life, creating special assets.

If you're a teenager who wants to chart a bright future for yourself, I recommend starting with "Speech Study at 14," which is most needed right now.
Just by changing our mindset and tone of speech, we will have a friendship that will be unrecognizably different.

Into the book
To build a wise friendship life, we need a new perspective on friends and a relationship building method that applies psychology.
To have a new experience, you need to think differently and approach things differently than before.
It will be new and amazing.
We'll cover everything from how to make close friends, to how to express yourself openly and honestly, to how to effectively resolve conflicts and build stronger relationships.
--- P.6-7 From "Prologue | "Can We Really Become Friends?"

Depending on your temperament, the way you talk to your friends is bound to be quite different.
If you have a strong stimulation-seeking tendency, you'll want to try anything, but if you have a strong risk-averse tendency, you'll often say not to do it.
Just by knowing that your friends have different temperaments, you can adjust and discuss with each other and develop good relationships.
Therefore, it is very important to understand the temperament of myself and my friend.
--- P.66 From "Part 1 | What You Need for a Wise Friendship: The Psychology of Friendship"

During puberty, the emotional brain develops first, and hormones change rapidly, so emotional ups and downs become more severe.
So, I sometimes make a slip of the tongue impulsively without realizing it and regret it, and sometimes I suffer for several nights over a word my friend said.
Don't you want to get through this time safely and build close relationships with good friends? To do so, it's crucial to work on self-regulation and have friends by your side who can correct you.
--- P.95 From "Part 2 | A Prescription for the Adolescent Heart to Smoothly Unravel Complex Relationships"

I get angry when my friend's demands are unreasonable.
But good people, people who can't say no, can't even express that anger and just swallow it.
That anger is now turned against yourself.
I hate myself so much for not being able to speak properly, not being able to say no, and not being able to express my anger when I'm angry, so I end up feeling inferior, self-loathing, and a victim mentality.
You suppress those negative emotions and hold them in until one day they explode out of nowhere, or you explode at someone you love the most but feel safe getting angry at, like your mother or sibling.
How about this? If you've ever been so angry that you couldn't say no, held it in, and then exploded, it's time to learn how to say no.
--- P.216 From "Part 3 | 10 Customized Language Studies for Teenagers that Grow Together with Their Mental Muscles"

Adolescence is a wonderful and dazzling time when a child becomes an adult.
But it can be confusing because emotions fluctuate so easily.
It's better to think of it as your hormones' fault rather than yours.
What matters is that you find true friends and these moments of fun and meaning together will one day become your treasure.
Eventually, many of the things you want will gradually come true.

Publisher's Review
“Teenagers who can’t sleep because of their friends’ worries, gather here!”
Relationship skills that you can use for a lifetime once you learn them.


According to youth-related statistics published by the Youth Policy Analysis and Evaluation Center, one of the concerns that youth have, along with ‘academics,’ is ‘friendships.’
During adolescence, when children spend more time at school or academies than at home, and when they first form stronger relationships with friends than with family, it is natural that their concerns about relationships will deepen.
Relationship concerns aren't limited to teenagers.
The reason why Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People is still a bestseller even after 80 years since its publication is because concerns about human relationships are universal, regardless of age or gender.
The teenage years, when children are just beginning to form relationships, are incredibly important.
Fourteen is the perfect age to learn lifelong relationship skills.

Like its predecessor, “A Mother’s Study of Language,” “The 14-Year-Old’s Study of Language” contains the counseling experience and expertise of Director Im-Sook Lee, a professional psychological counselor.
Psychology has consistently presented various theories to help solve problems encountered in communication within relationships, to the point that it has its own subfield called interpersonal psychology.
The author applied these psychological theories to actual counseling cases and added explanations tailored to the level of teenagers, making it fun to read and easy to understand.
The number '14 years old' in the title is meaningless as it can be read by a wide range of readers, from elementary school to the third year of middle school.
By intelligently navigating the complexities of friendship through psychology and strengthening your mental muscles, you'll also gain the courage to solve the various problems that arise in your relationships with others.
The study of words the author shares will give wings to your courage and help you build strong, valuable relationships that will become lifelong assets, not enemies.

“I’ll tell you the secret to a top-tier ‘Wise Friendship Life’!”
A relationship solution specifically for teenagers that builds social skills and self-esteem.


Director Im Sook Lee explains the important friendships during adolescence with the keyword ‘words.’
The author emphasizes that in order to have genuine friendships with peers, we must properly face and understand our emotions and learn to express them appropriately.
"The 14-Year-Old's Study of Language" addresses the concerns of teenagers about complex human relationships by providing three steps on how to cultivate true friendships without easily hurting or being hurt, through the simplest and most practical principles and smart communication.

Part 1, where you can indirectly experience the conflicts and worries that arise in friendships, reveals the secrets hidden in relationships in detail through the language of psychology.
It helps people understand the differences between themselves and their friends by identifying the different temperaments and needs of each person and learning communication methods that suit those characteristics.
If you're a teenager who has experienced hurt feelings due to a friend misunderstanding your words or intentions, the author's "Psychology of Friendships" will guide you to take the first step toward building smart friendships.

The second part emphasizes the importance of being honest about your feelings with your friends, and analyzes the neuroscientific and hormonal reasons behind the mood swings of teenagers, helping them grow stronger without blaming themselves.
It prescribes appropriate psychological techniques to children's minds, such as how to overcome 'automatic negative thinking (ANT)' while calming confused minds and 'imagination techniques' that foster positive emotions.
The author's personalized mind prescription, perfect for teenagers, will heal wounds and strengthen the muscles of the heart.

The final three parts consist of practical language study that can change your friendships 180 degrees.
From five "conversation starters" that will pique your friend's curiosity and get them to listen right away, to the "doorway technique" that will get your friend to do your request without being offended, to the "win-win strategy" that will help you find a compromise that benefits both you and your friend and resolve conflict.
Based on interesting psychological knowledge, it is filled with methods that anyone can enjoy and follow, helping them go beyond theory to build valuable friendships.
The author's sincere support for teenagers' powerful leap forward, building lifelong assets through special relationships rather than grades, is contained in "Speech Study at 14 Years Old."
