Have you ever been in a situation where theres a loud guy making dodgy comments, cracking jokes that only he thinks are funny or leering at the girls in the room? You can feel the tension, right?That Guyis the worst, but no one is saying anything, because the whole situation is intimidating and awkward.

This toolkit will help you call out bad behaviour and understand the serious issues facing girls today. And it will make you feel confident navigating relationships, so that everyone feels happy, heard and respected, while being the best version of yourself.

From flirting disasters and what staying in the friend zone really means to the perils of porn, locker room talk and the importance of consent, this is a vital handbook for lads who are fed up of That Guy, and who want to step up and help create positive change.

The kind of book that tells you the things you need to hear as a teenage boy, but youd rather not have to ask your mum or dad about, and in a way that feels chatty and not patronising. Its easy to dip in and out of the sections too. After reading it, I felt more confident about speaking up with my male friends when I heard them saying things that werent right, and I hope I would be a better friend to my friends who are girls - Sydney, aged 14

Recommended for ages 13 and over.
