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

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.

From a young age, Sameep has been avid about writing. She scripted lengthy responses for her Tumblr advice blog and even went as far as to write her first unpublished book called "Skyler," a fiction novella. However, after watching her peers struggle in their adolescence, Sameep decided to embark on a different journey to bring to light common issues faced by teenagers in today's society. Her father suggested the idea to her, and she ran with it, abandoning her first manuscript about wizards and dragons for one about mental health instead.
