Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: 101 Stories of Life, Love and Learning

A collection of one hundred and one short true stories, poems and letters written by teenagers and for them. The pieces cover first love, breakups, friendship, family conflict, divorce, peer pressure, grief, eating problems, self-doubt, and the moments of kindness that help. Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen edited the collection, and most contributions come from young writers themselves.

It is aimed at teenagers and at parents or teachers who want something to share. Each story is brief, so readers can pick up a page at a time and find someone who went through something similar. Parents, teachers and counselors sometimes use it to open conversations that are hard to start. The pieces are short and easy to share aloud.

Practical, inward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
