  This book shows and talks about the different parts of life. It tells stories about Love,Friendship,Family and Tough Times. This book can show you the way some people lived their life and the way they deal with it. I have really learned a lot of things from this book . Sometimes the stories can get a little sad but i guess thats the way some people just went through life. I know that I can relate to some of these stories because now as I am growing up as a teenager I start to see the difference and the complication it can be to live the life of a teenager. Yea sure you are suppose to have fun as a teenager but there are also somethings that go along with it. Anyways the thing I have learned the most is that no matter what happens in your teenage years most of the things that do happen is to teach your self a lesson.
  
  I will strongly recommend any Chicken Soup book to teenagers because these books are a way that some adults express their teenage years as well as kids.

  سأضع له تقييماً عالي لأنني حين قرأته في صغري، أعتقد كنت في الثالثة عشر من عمري أو الرابعة عشر لا أتذكر جيداً. ولكنه كان من الكتب التي ساعدتني لأتخطى هذه المرحلة وأتعداها بجدارة وبنفسية جيدة.
  رغم أن غالبية ظروف المراهقين العرب تختلف عن المراهقين الأجنبيين ولكن هناك إحساس بالفهم بأن على الرغم مما حدث لهم وعلى الرغم من إختلافه إلا أني كنت قادرة على فهمه والأحساس به.
  شوربة دجاج لمن لا يعرف مجموعة قصص حقيقية من واقعهم وبعض ما حدث لهم
  أعارتني صديقتي الجزء الأول واحببته ، ثم هممت لأشتري الجزء الثاني
  أعترف بكيت كثيرًا وأنا اقرأ الكتاب . وأتذكر بأن أستاذة رأتني اقرأه وأخذته مني وتصفحته ثم ألقت بعض الكلمات الساخرة واللاذعة. لا أعلم لِم هناك هذه العادة البذيئة في الكبار وهي أن ينتقدوا كل ما نفعل، حتى لو الأمر لم يعنيهم.يستصغرون كل شيئاً فينا ثم يتوقعون منا أن نقدم أفضل مالدينا . أود أن أستعيد كل الذكريات الجميلةبقراءته مجددًا ولكن أعتقد بأنني كبرت ولن يؤثر علي كما كان يفعل

  “I’m grounded for two weeks or until my dad learns that ‘funk’ is not a bad word.”
  
  “You’re my friend Katie, but we just don’t fight enough to be best friends.”
  
  “Everything about girls make me really really nervous. I flunked my algebra test because algebra has the word ‘bra’ in it!”
  
  Few lines from this wonderful book which makes you connect so well as almost everyone must have gone through it at some point in their life :)
  
  Chicken soup for teenage soul was a beautiful compilation of short stories that I think everyone can relate to all the time. It has all kind of real life stories which definitely stays with you even after the book is over...

  During teenage growing process is like a flower. It grows very little when the weather is giving it hard time. It grows dramatically when weather is well fit for the plant. Every teenager circled whole global has happy, sad, quiet, ect moment. Moreover, teenage can be counted as one of hard time people go across because of becoming mature.
  
  This book is same as other Chiken Soup books with different people written and edit by different authors. Teenagers with thoughtful mind writting down every bit moment happened during teenage. The stories' theme is mostly on life, love and learning. What best about these books is that it contains different genre; poem, fiction, list, and comic. Also, some of the stories are very touching and your feeling is changing by what the words are told.
  
  My favorite part of the book is the story called "Speechless" by Shawna Singh. The mother of her friend Hope is sick because of a tumor in ovaries and it's maglignant. Hope is worry and Shawna always beside her for comfort. Days passes, Hope gets really ill. Tumor spread everywhere inside her but Hope is strong enough to face reality. Shawna worried about Hope too and in charge of taking care of Hope. No matter what happen to Hope, Shawna will always use her gentle hands to help out because this is what is called friendship. At the meantime, this story gives a message that friends are very important during teenage. They can help out when someone has trouble because he/she has experienced the situation. They know the feeling of each other and be able to sharing thought.
  
  I would highly recommend this book to teenagers because this book is obviously for teen. Parents are also welcome to read this book because you can also see what's on teenagers' mind today. On other hand, you may give some advice to your child while they face simliar thing to other child. As I am a reader, I will rate 5 stars to this book because it's very touching and makes me go back to my teenage time.

  Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul is a series of books that are helpful to teenagers. They are books that nurture the soul and make you realize that there are other people who share some of the same experiences as you. I really liked this book because it kept me thinking about the situations some of these girls were in and i found that I have also been on some familiar situations. They are stories that can really capture someone's eye. I liked this book in particular because it was not like others where I sometimes skip a story and then read another, but I read all of the stories. I think that girls that have a lot of problems would enjoy reading this book as well as others who like to read about things that happen to others and connect with them. If anyone has read other books that say Chicken Soup I think that they would also enjoy reading this book. I really likes=d this book and I think many people out there will also.
  This book talks about social issues, drama, school and many other things young adults are dealing with today. Each person in this book talks about how they overcame the problem that they were facing and how if you are facing the same problem you should do the same.

  I'm not really a fan of the Chicken Noodle Soup books because personally I don't enjoy reading sappy novel-like books. This book changed my mind about the Chicken Noodle Soup books though. It makes me want to check out the other CNS for the Teen Soul book series.
  The content: at times I would be disappointed to read some poems because as I've said I'm no fan of mushy-rhyming-writings. The stories I could relate to some since these are true-to-life stories written by teenagers. It's fun to read about other people's lives for a change.

  Growing up is tough. Sometimes you just need to know that you're not alone out there. Which is why I think, on some levels, this book worked. The most invaluable lessons for me came from Mary Schmich's Ladies and Gentlemen of the Class of '97: Do one thing every day that scares you. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Keep your old letters. Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room. Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old.

  As I was wondering through my house this weekend I stumbled upon Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II and began to read. It is a collection of short stories and poems like the ones we (our English class) write in our writer's notebooks organized by their theme. All of them connect to at least one aspect of a teenagers life making them relatable and easy to read.
  This is a great book to read when you are in the middle of another book or in between books because it contains tons of independent stories, eliminating any possible longterm commitments to the book.

  لهذا الكتب قيمة مختلفة
  لم يكن اول كتاب أقرأه وانما كان أول كتاب اقتنية بمالي الخاص
  أحببت بساطة السرد فيه .. والقيم التي يتحدث عنها
  فصل الصداقة كان الابرز بالنسبة لي
  قرأته قديما وعلقت في بالي بعض القصص
  واحببته ولازلت اعود لأراجع بعض ماعلق .

  I've had this book for a while and have read it several times but now it's time to move on.
  It felt more pre-teen than teen, but perhaps that's because I'm not a teen anymore either?

  Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 is composed of over one hundred short stories about teenagers who went through something in their lives that they had to overcome. All of these short stories come with a lesson. The book is split up into eight sections with ten to fifteen stories in each section. The book contains short stories about relationships, friendships, love and kindness, rough times, family, learning lessons, making a difference, and growing up. In one of the stories, a teenage girl has an older brother who has cancer and is about to die. She hesitates with her decision about going to prom and leaving her brother, but she learns that her brother just wants her to live. The lesson of that story is to consider what is best for you, and for others. Her brother wanted her to have fun and not worry about him, and she ended up going to prom and it helped her be at peace knowing she was doing what her brother would have wanted. All of the stories in this book have something in common. They are all stories that real people wrote about their lives. They are experiences that people had that they thought were worthy of being put into an inspiring book. These stories are mostly submitted by many different people. Some of the sections also contain poems that express the author’s feelings or experiences.
  The book Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 is very inspiring. The different sections of the book are full of surprising, heartwarming, and relatable stories. This book is enjoyable in the way that each story is different, and contains a different theme or lesson. There are stories in this book that deal with things like death in the family, breakups, and losing a friend. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 is a great book for teenagers all around the world to read. It can help people deal with situations that may come their way. The overall theme of the book is there is always a way out, or a way to fix things. In each of the stories, the main character is faced with a challenge and they must find a way to overcome their troubles. The book shows the audience that there are many ways to deal with issues that everybody has. The book was not only enjoyable with its content. It was written well. It is not a formal writing, and it works well for this type of book. All of the stories are written from the heart, not from a format layout. I did not have any issues while reading. Everytime I picked it up, I found it difficult to put down. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 not only has one lesson the readers can learn, but in each and every story there is a new moral. If the reader is going through a tough time with one of their friends, or if they just went through a breakup, this book is an excellent way for the reader to connect with the characters in the book, and learn from them. The book also promotes good behavior and demonstrates the correct way to deal with frustration or sadness. This book should be read by all teenagers, as it is helpful in many different aspects of a person’s life I rate this book a nine out of ten.

  Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul 2
  By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Irene Dunlap, and Patty Hansen
  By Emily Haroldsen
  
  This book provides many incites into teenagers lives due to the fact that the stories in this book are written by teens all over America. This book is an inspiration and a great way to help with ordinary teenage problems.
  This book consists of several short stories, poems, or lists. The stories are then put into parts depending on what the story is about. I feel like this helps tell the reader that we are getting several points of view, and that this isn't coming from just one person. I appreciate this format because I always stop reading at the end of a chapter and if I read a chapter with twenty pages it becomes boring and my comprehension is affected. This format helps with my comprehension and I can really enjoy the book more.
  The Authors feel that this book is meant for us. To help us through our trials. It is a book you can relate to, a book that can give you a cheering up or advice on how to solve our problems. The Authors use this book to help others express their pain and happiness, it is meant only to help us and it is easy to tell that the Authors saw great meaning in this book. They really put a lot of work into making this a special book, and really making it have a true purpose.
  In the introduction it says “This is your book, there for you to read when you need some cheering up or when you simply need to be reminded that you are by no means alone on the journey.” This book is meant for us and if you haven't read it I highly encourage it, because it gives you true stories of how people got through hard times. This book is important and has helped people through the hard times and it can help you too.

  This is the second book of the chicken soup for the teenage soul series. It is also full of individual stories by actual teenagers. It explores many different topics and situations. Added in as a bonus is some poems. I read this first when I was a teenage girl and I remember it being a very interesting read. For teenagers it lets you know that you are not alone, everyone goes through something similar if not the same. Growing up is hard and becoming who you are to be is even harder.

  I just love all the chicken soup books. I am not a teenager but I still enjoyed reading this. I worked with kids and i have younger siblings. So it gives me an idea of what the kids are going through. Especially at this most difficult time that we're all going through. The kids are our future.
