From Publisher
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II offers more inspiring stories to help you master the game we call life. Today's teens have ever more issues and social pressures to juggle than young adults just 20 years ago. This book, like its predecessor, can be your guide - a beacon in the darkness, a safe haven in a storm, a warm hug in the cold and a respite from loneliness. There's no preaching as to what you should and shouldn't do. Instead, this book is full of teens sharing their experiences on learning to accept like, becoming the best person you can be, being happy with who you are, and loving yourself-no matter what.

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.
