Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff: Stories of Tough Times and Lessons Learned

Product Information

These true inspirational stories for teenagers are organized into chapters that will inspire you to:

Some things that had stood out to me, are the chapters they included. I enjoyed how each chapter's situation varies from Self-acceptance, to drugs and alcohol, to even death and dying. Although people who read this know that these things are serious, they know that these things are common and teens who read this know what they can expect if they read it. that is why I recommend this book for teens and young adults. on top of that, they include resources of organizations that can help with things like these situations like abuse for example. I haven’t read many anthologies in the past so I was quite eagre to have a reason to be able to read one! I defiantly underestimated how good anthologies are as they are short stories put in a collection, which are usually categorised. The mass effect of all the stories put together gave me a stronger message to take in and remember.

I loved how this novel consists of stories told by the people who actually lived them. You can feel the honesty they’ve written it down with, the feelings they poured into their words. With all the different stories, you just know that they’re all feel unique too and I loved that.

My favourite quote from the story “Run with it” is “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” This motivational quote was my favourite because it told me that I can make a change, and I can make it now. Not tomorrow, not next week, now. We don’t need to wait for the perfect opportunity, we need to find the perfect opportunity. I have been given enough in life and I have the ability to use my resources as a way to make change or help another. What I have is simply enough and I don’t need to wait for the right moment, because the right moment is now. i really like ready the short stories & different experiences as a teenager things i can relate to .i love it so far Choose a theme in your book and compare to any piece of literature we have read in class. What is similar? What is different? What have you learned about the human experience? (7-10 sentences) Summary"Well the book has many stories in it and theyre split into chapters based on what theyre about.For example there was abuse,alcohol and drugs,and death and dying.Its about teenagers who have a story about themselves kind of like a book of memoirs.They all hold lessons at the end which i hope people can learn from.Although Lena didn't haver her old friend or her parents, she had Diana, her new friend. Diana made Lena feel pretty. Lena said that even though she didn't talk about her feelings with the popular girl, she didn't feel alone anymore.

It didn’t bother me exactly, but I know that there are people who would definitely not cope with certain of these stories and they wouldn’t be warned up front. It is like passing through the eye of a needle, as others may say. And requires responsibility and accountability on the part of family and society. The introduction of the book explains that the books can be read straight through or can be used as a guide book, depending on what issue the reader is going through. Finally one day my wife looked at me and asked, “Why is it that you never look at me when I say that you’re handsome?” I decided to tell her about the yearbook and my conclusions. “You can’t believe that! It’s wrong! Somebody who didn’t even know you in grade seven can’t be taken that seriously! I know you, I love you and I chose to marry you. I think you’re handsome and I think I’ve proved that.” So was I going to believe my wife... or that old graffiti? Brianne Monett’s story is just one of the inspirational stories in the book. There are so many stories filled with positive thinking from teenagers. The stories range from stories of hope to stories of finding ways of stopping the stressed, sleep-deprived behavior and focusing on the positive side of things.Lena needs her friends to help her get through her parent's divorce, but they left her.
