Customer Reviews

ALL TEEN GIRLS SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK

Very well written and honest. Deals with REAL teen issues. If you have a teen daughter - she should own this book.

Being a Teen-ager

I liked the book cause it gives you good advice, and it gives you tips, tells how to get your-self out a bad situation to a good situation. It also tells you the importance of being in love. Also explains groups, cliques, classes, clubs and more. It let you yest your-self as if you were doing good or bad. I also liked the book because it gives you poems that will make your day feel better. Tells you about the Social Scene, Everyday Life, Outsiders, Grown up Factor, Tough Stuff, Life Outside the Classroom, Love, Getting Real, being a Teen-ager, and last but not least... The Real Deal!!!

Amazing stories

Well, I don't know what the other reviewer was reading, but this was the best collection of stories in a Chicken Soup book yet. All of these stories are written by teens, and they talk about some of the grittiest stuff I've ever read. I mean, imagine being kidnapped by your own mother, or helping your friend through a suicidal breakdown. It doesn't get any more real than that. It's just great to know that there are other teens experiencing the same kinds of craziness I see every day. I take this book with me everywhere. I like the quizzes and other stuff too when I need a break from reading.

Read this one!

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul is a outstanding book! The book is about real life stories; stories about real life, love, friends, family,and tough stuff. This book really touched my heart. There is a story in the book called "I'll Be Looking for You Ace". It is about a girl anf her brother is in a car accident. When he is in the hospital she wrote a letter sayiny "I wish could have been the one in the accident." So if you want to know if he dies or not, then read "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul!" I highlt recommend this bookto teh age group 12-18. This book is an outstanding book!

Couldn't Put it down because knowing the stories were true!

I got this book because one day in 7th grade, a girl started to read a poem during a nosiy classroom, everybody, includes the teacher, stopped what they were doing and glues their ears to her words! The poem was so powerful and meanful that it left us all speechless! Right when, I got home I ordered the book. Ever since I got it, it has always been there for me. Whenever I had a problem, I could just open it and fell better. The stories really made you think about what if that was you or I can't believe that is true. I would read and get done with a story and make everyone in the room read it because of how it made me feel. This book is very powerful and I think every teenager should get it!
