Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Teenagers **ENDED**


Chicken Soup for the Soul books have been comforting people with stories of hope and encouragement since I was a child.  The books include a series of 101 short stories that focus on the particular theme of the book.  Their newest book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Teenagers is a collection of stories of inspiration and support for teens.

Let's face it. Being a teenager is very difficult! The book is designed to encourage teens to feel good about themselves, set meaningful goals, and deal with family and friend issues. The cover of the book is appropriately illustrated with a bunch of teenagers handing out and a teen reading their phone. 

The contents of the book are as follows:
1. Friendship
2. Life Lessons
3. Liking Yourself
4. Love and Relationships
5. Family Ties
6. Tough Times
7. Taking a Stand
8. Giving and Getting Kindness
9. Funny Moments
10. Setting and Reaching Your Goals

Review: This book would have been very helpful during my teenage years. I remember feeling isolated at times and not sure if feelings I was having and things I was going through were unique to only me. The book does a really great job at normalizing typical teenage experiences. Since the stories are authored by other teens, I think the teenage reader will feel a connection and a sense of normalcy and hope after reading the book.
