Chicken
Soup for the Teenage Soul
Amazon
Synopsis
 Beyond the
natural "growing pains" of adolescence, teens in today's world face a dizzying
array of choices and perils. This Chicken Soup volume consists of stories every teen can
relate to and learn from--without feeling criticized or judged. Featuring contributions
from Montel Williams, Jennie Garth, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and A.J. Langer, this edition
also contains lessons on the nature of friendship and love and the value of self-respect.
This book, the latest in the hugely
popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, contains stories, poems, and cartoons relating
to the specific troubles that traumatize teenagers everywhere. There are plenty of stories
about dating ("HE KISSED MY TEETH!"), friendships (don't gossip), and school.
But Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul doesn't
shy away from the big issues either, with essays on suicide, dying young, and drunk
driving. This book stems from the knowledge that teens know their own concerns best--thus,
much of the book is written by teens themselves, which gives the book a very accessible,
informal tone. Also, the authors had each piece evaluated by as many teenagers as
possible. The care shows. Chicken Soup for the
Teenage Soul is always respectful and doesn't minimize any of the dramas of
adolescence. It does, however, mete out plenty of perspective. This wise, tender, funny
book is filled with wisdom useful to teens (and everybody else, too). - Amazon Synopsis
