Problem Girls by Gwynedd Lloyd

This book explores the issues surrounding girls and young women who are seen as troubled or troublesome. It sets out to further our understanding of young women who face or cause difficulties, offering a diverse and complex view. Recognising the increasing importance of schools as the primary source of support for girls and young women, the chapters discuss the implications for practice of teachers and other professionals, covering important issues like: girls' classroom behaviour mental health problems violence and sexuality exclusion and community offences. By presenting a range of theoretical perspectives, readers of this book will be encouraged to reflect on what underpins the actions of girls and young women and take their voices seriously. It will be essential reading for practitioners and professionals in Education, as well as students and academics in the field.

'This book offers a wealth of evidence regarding the need for change in schooling as well as some good positive strategies for the direction that might be taken' - Youth&Policy

"I found the whole book a fascinating read, and one that I believe would be essential reading for practitioners and professionals in education, as well as students and academics in the field." - NASEN Journal, 2011


'Problem Girls confirms how misleading it is to generalise about disaffected students drawing solely on boys' experiences...This book deserves to be widely read by teachers and policy-makers alike.' - Audrey Hosler, TES 29 July 2005
