Good gift for your poet teenager

My daughter writes poetry and enjoyed these poems written by her peers

Interesting Read

Found book enjoyable read.Also enjoyed 'Soul of Mature Adolescence' and 'Things I Have to Tell You'

Kick Arse!

I got this book from a friend for my birthday and since then I have taken up writing. This book was a total inspiration!!!!!!!! Chapter 101 or whatever it is called was really moving. I recommend this for anyone looking for a way to express themselves positively. Plus, it is colorful and not very expensive.

Inspirational!!!!!!!

ANGST! is my new favorite book!!!!!! Those girls are my kind of people--trash-talking and saying exactly how they feel. I wish we could read stuff like this at school, because the "literature" they make us read is outdated. This book is written in a language that I can understand, and feel. I get poetry now, because girls out there like me are writing it! This book rocks the house!

THE BEST EVER

This book blew me away. I can't beleive there are so many girls that feel the way I do, and could write about it. I'm a teen and this spoke so much to me. It is great to see how real this book is. I've recieved teen poetry books before, and they all are too adult influenced. This book was real! I highly recommend this book to any one, at any age, that wants to know what it feels like to be a girl in today's world.My only critique is that it could of had the real curse words--but whatever. At least this book is out here and people like me can finally know that someone is paying attention!
