Why I love Chicken Soup!

2007-05-15
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Volume 2 is an inspirational and enlightening book. Being a teenager myself I can relate to a lot of the stories told in this bestseller. The first time I read this book I was younger and didn't understand what the authors in the book were saying, but when I revisited it this year I actually understood it and connected more to the stories. This book has inspired me to write about my personal experiences and really look back at the good, bad, or in between as a way to learn from my mistakes. Instead of breaking down I decided to write. This book has taught me and helped me through some rough times. This book is great and I recommend it to anyone. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul is not just for teenagers, I have even read some stories with my friends and family. This book has been a real joy and inspiration on all aspects of my life. Thanks Chicken Soul and I hope all readers out there will get a chance to read this delightful, motivating, and wonderful book.

An inspirational book

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul ll is a great book written by teenagers and some adults about life. It teaches us about life and how to deal with it. It shows us that no matter where you came form, what you look like, or how you act, almost all teenagers are the same. This book is an inspiration to everyone.
This book influences me because it inspires me to become a better person. Before I read this book I thought, "Oh this book is just some boo full of made-up stories", but as I continued to read into it more, I thought" Wow this is a really great book". This book tells you that all teens go through the same stuff. It shows you that your not alone, and with faith and courage you can overcome most obstacles. This book is filled amazing stories of love depression, and hope. I encourage everyone to read this book.

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 is a great book for teens because it is something we can relate to. It is filled with short anecdotes written by teenagers or once-teenagers about their adolescent experiences. It is inspirational and teaches us about who we are, about people, and about life in general. I recommend this book for all teenagers.

I think that this book was a very good and fun book to read. Anyone who enjoys hearing about different teens telling their own stories would greatly enjoy this book. While I was reading it, there were times when i felt like laughing and other times when I felt like crying too. The things that teenagers go through are so hard and alot of adults do not understand this, that is why this book is so helpful. It is a very good book to read and I would recommend it to anyone, espically teens.

A guide to life

2005-10-14

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.

good amount of stories shared

I don't remember all the stories in here though I remember thinking that they could have included more than just north american culture though I think they tried to do it even more than the first book. The stories I remember liking are the ones about the dying grandmother who loved flowers, the one about the 13 year old surviving a motorcycle accident, the stepfather giving his depressed daughter a journal(which I feel is the best thing you can give anyone), the story about the girl who had to wear a wig after an accident, the one by jennifer love hewitt about the little boy with aids making a quilt, the one about the girl who was really depressed and when she got cancer she became much stronger after remission, and the one about the wedding dress china doll. They were very sweet and touching

A book for your soul

A book for your soul...
Wow! This is a fantastic book! You should definitely read this book for a good read. It has a good aspect of reading because these situations are things that have happened from real life teen situations, so many teens can relate to the stories.
The authors range from pre-teens, teenagers, or maybe even adults. The audience target is for teenagers.
A supersonically good reason to read this book is that it has many short, heart-touching stories, and is very great to read if you have something to do. That way you can stop reading and start off with a new story without having to remember what important events happened before you put the book down.
So in conclusion this is a GREAT book to read!

REAL LIFE STORIES THAT WORTH SHARING

2005-05-15
I don't know this kind/s of books, Chicken Soup ... existed and I must say I'm a late bloomer finding that a particular book can change my life forever. If I am not mistaken this is my 4th book that I own. Since all of it's contents are based on a true-to-life story I feel that by reading the stories, poems, etc. as I look back my teenage years, that I am not alone facing life's challenges teens do. It's hard to pick one particular favorites because all of it has something to ponder about. I like Jennifer Love Hewitt, " A Friend for Life," about the story of a 14-year-old girl named Nicole, battling of cancer, who wishes to meet Love. It brought tears to my eyes that unexplainable things could happen to a kid like Nicole. She had to face death on a very young age.
I recommend reading Elisa Donovan's "Already Perfect" I remember her from the show Clueless. Her story is about finding your true identity, who you really are. I must say she's already beautiful just the way she is. She puts a lot of pressure on herself by torturing her body, to the point of not eating at all and later on would result to anorexia. She is an inspiration to all who one way or another have to go through or had to experienced what she had gone through. HATS OFF to Elisa for sharing this tragic but life-changing experience of hers.
