Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul is an excellent book for every teenager, and anyone who wants to understand what problems teenagers are facing these days. This book contains stories that range from incredibly funny to sad and serious, but yet uplifting. All teenagers face hardships that have to do with self esteem and fitting in. It is a book that you can go to when you are having problems. I feel that every teenager can relate to this book. It is a good book to uplift your spirits. I recently had some trouble with one of my friends. The book was very helpful and helped us get over our differences. However, there was one story that really touched me. it was titled "A Lesson for Life". The quote at the beginging sort of explains it all: "The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core strength within you that survives all hurt." It is about a boy who stand up for another boy when he is being picked on. This story changed my life in a way. I started to look around, and I realized that many people around me felt that they did not fit in. I suddenly thought that I was not very confident about myself, but I wanted to help others. The less that I started to worry about myself, and getting to know others, the more and more confident I became about myself. I now have a very happy life, and when someone feels down about themselves, I can relate to them and give them advice. More people in this world should be friendly and stick up for others. The book teaches life lessons that everyone should be aware of. One of my friends's parents read the teenage version of this book when her daughter was done. They previously had a rocky relationship, and everything has changed for the better since then. Another story in this book that has helped me in the struggle as a teenager was titled "No Matter What Happens". It is about growing up and how to deal with it. This book is a great place to turn to when you are looking for inspriration or help in life. You can relate to almost everything in the book.

Warning: Do not read this book without a box of Kleenex. This book is filled with stories that make you smile, make you laugh, and yes, some that make you cry. Anyone not knowing what to get the teen in their life his year, get them this book, and the first one too. Whenever I am down, I can pick up this book and I know that I am not the only one out there that feels down sometimes. I cannot say enough about this book, it is wonderful, inspiring, and leaves a permanent mark on you heart. There is something in this book for everyone: the reject, the popular kids, the loners, the caring, and especially the delicate teen, whose egos are easily shaped by one cruel comment. This book proves the statement: you are not alone.

I read this book over the summer, and it was great. It tells about other peoples' problems and stories. Some of them are sad. One story is about an overweight girl and a boy who sat next to her in class. They became very good friends and had a lot in common. They went to every Friday night football game. One day someone put a rose in her locker, and she found out it was the boy. When she thanked him he told her that she was very special. They always kept in touch. A few years after they graduated Bobby died from a sort of cancer. There are many cool stories by famous people. I have read many Chicken Soup books. I recommend this book to teenagers.

Man o Man! These just keep getting better and better. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II: 101 More Stories of Life, Love and Learning, was even better than the first. Every story was a new adventure that also(like the first), made you eithor laugh, cry, get scared, mad or renewed. Before I read this I was expecting it to be okay but not as good as the first because that usaully never happens, But...woah. I was wrong and a half. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II: 101 More Stories of Life, Love and Learning gives you so much more to offer than you could get out of any other book I have ever read. After I read Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II: 101 More Stories of Life, Love and Learning, I started to treat my Family, Freinds, and Myself better. i also learned how to deal with the ups and downs of life. I beg you to read this book if you felt any depression, confusion, or anything else like that in your life. I hope that you have found this article helpful and Thank You for your time.

Have a problem, read Chicken Soup. Feel down in the dumpsters, read Chicken Soup. Having another great day, read Chicken Soup. Wondering what Chicken Soup is by now, it's an inspiring novel by three different authors including Jack Canfield. Within this book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2, are a series of life stories written and told by the people that had them happen to them, both sad and glad. For instance, one story tells about a boy who strives to tell his dad he loves him, but he can't, being held back by common teenage embarassment. Ironically, later that day his dad is killed as result of a tragic and deadly accident. Out of this, the boy learns when it comes to emotions not to hold them back. I myself really enjoyed the book and was introduced to it from other friends of mine also fans of the Chicken Soup series. As stated in the author's note of the story, the book helps soothe one's emotions when read, and truthfully it does. It teaches you you're not alone, and a problem you may have can be fixed. Also the organization in this book was phenomenal, breaking it up into 6 parts: relationships, friendship, love and kindness, tough stuff, family, and learning lessons. This was a great book and overall experience, and as you see I highly recommend it.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul was a great book. It is filled with true stories (101 to be exact) and poems about teenagers, the troubles they faced, and how they got through them. It is truly an inspiration when you read it. This book speaks directly to teenagers and really makes the teenage reader feel like they are not the only one who feels certain ways. This book has stories about all different topics. It talks about relationships, friendships,love and kindness, family, tough stuff, learning lessons, making a difference and growing up. It touches on all different aspects of each of these topics.
In one specific story, called Change for a Dollar, a boy who is slower than most kids his age is in line trying to get a dollar to go in the pop machine. He is having lots of trouble and soon everyone starts laughing at him. Then out of nowhere a girl from the popular table gets up and goes over to the pop machine. She tells him that they are sometimes hard to work and then gives him change for a dollar. This story was moving to me because it shows that you don't always have to do what everyone else expects you to do. That is just one example of a typical story in the book. I really like that one because it is something that happens everyday of my life. Kids are always making fun of other kids, and the book gives you inspiration to change that and do something about it.
Many of the stories are not about everyday events though, some deal with people who have diseases or are close to someone who is dying. These types of stories can really help out someone who may be in the same situation. They may feel like they are the only person in the world who knows how it feels, but when the read Chicken Soup, they realize that other people have gone through the same things and gotten through it alright.
This book is one that you can read over and over again. You do not have to read it front to cover and you can skip around or read only about topics you are interested in. You can go back and read your favorite ones over again. If you are ever feeling blue, you can just pick up Chicken Soup and I guarentee it will lift your spirits. The stories in it are so uplifting and just make you feel good. I found that once I started reading Chicken Soup, I could not put it down. Each story makes you feel so good that you just wanna keep reading. It lets you know that what we are all going through and feeling the same types of things. It makes you feel good to know that you are not alone.
I think this book acts more as a friend than anything else. It is always there to comfort you and give you hope for a better future. I would definitely recommend this to all teenagers. Even if you aren't dying of cancer, there are stories in here that can relate to every teenager. And the greatest part is that the book is made up of stories written by teenagers themselves so it definitely relates to them. This book overall just gives you a positive feeling when you are done.

Chicken Soup for the Soul II, quite inspirational I'd have to say. As soon as I picked up this book, I just couldn't put it down. As I continuted to read, I got more addicted to the lives of each author. As I read a few sentences in each expostion of certain stories, I automatically would have to continue reading, and eventually, the story would take me onto the next story. Hearing about "real world" examples, made me feel like not such a fool, if it had happened to me before.These short stories provide us, meaning teenagers, the oppurtunity to listen to others are age, and what they have to say. The author's actually have the guts to express and let other's read these life changing stories, so it'd be nice if they were good for something.
Throughout the book, there are numerous stories in each sections. The Sections include, friendship, relationships, the power of love, family, lessons, tough stuff, overcoming obstacles, self-discovery and growing up. All of these topics are vital to teenage lives. So many things are bound to happen during what most people call these "rough" years, which would mean teenage years. The protagonist in these stories are the author's who reveal life secrets when they've been through something rough, or good. It gives us the oppurunity to reflect on life, love and learning.
As a teenager, we go through so much, by reading the Chicken Soup books, it puts us in the position to deal with life, and realize others go through dramatic times as well. The themes of this book is life, love, and learning. Many stories were tear jearkers, yet some would give me the giggles. Honestly, this isn't one of those "fake books that the author just makes up a bunch of stories about the lives of teenagers." It's a book where real teenagers pour their hearts out, so other's can listen to what they go through. If you enjoyed Chicken Soup for the Soul II, you would absolulty love Chicken Soup for the soul III, it continues on with more dramatic life changing stories that could even make an impact on your life. This book is truly a need to read book.

Chicken Soup is a great book for every teen. This book is filled with many stories of teens who have experienced tough times in their life. As a teenager facing her life as a motherless daughter, I related to this book significantly. Chicken Soup isn't for a certain age of kids. There are stories from Junior High years and beyond my age of seventeen. Included in this book were stories of teenager's parents who write about their son/daughter's life. Including this is a special bonus because it's good to hear the parent's view and stand point over the problems in their child's life.
Throughout this book, I found myself barely able to put it down. This book is filled with captivating knowledge that makes the reader feel as if they are involved in the story. There were so many times I felt like some stranger had written my life story in detail. The authors of the Chicken Soup books have made an astounding breakthrough in literature. Not only have they made a book that heals the soul, but they have made a series of books are focused on individuals, and not society as a whole. This book is a great gift for everyone. Being able to relate to so many other kids who have faced the same problems I have is truly inspiration and strength to live on.

Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul II is heartwarming, inspiring, tear jurking, laugh-out-loud funny and jaw dropping all in one. Stories sent in from around the world give teenagers the proper perspective of what real life is. These stories give them thoughts on relationships, love, lessons and some are just there for fun. They help people make decisions on where to go and what to do in life. It shows the consequences to making bad decisions in terms teens can understand. This is great book written for all teenagers, by teenagers (and a few others).

This book for teens is a good source of encourgement and help. It is full from cover to cover of stories by other teenagers your age, who face the same problems as you do, and who want to let you know that you're not the only one who faces these situations. It is also split up into section such as Friends, Relationships, etc. I enjoyed reading other teens stories. I hope you will try this book; and if you do, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
