Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Growing Up

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Growing Up. Greenwich: Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, 2008. 339 pages. (Non-fiction)

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Growing Up is a book that tells about conflicts with parents to the deaths of friends to simple fights with friends and helps you understand a situation that you may be in a little better. One story, impractically, that I found interesting was, How Much Does It Cost?, by an unknown author. It was about a group of six students who are suffering the pain of losing four of their friends because of a very, in my opinion, dumb mistake. All of the ten had a party, where alcohol was involved. The four students were attempting to drive home when they were in a fatal car accident, none survived. This story caught my attention simply because it shows you the consequences of some very irresponsible actions you may choose to make!

I would definitely recommend this book for teens from the ages twelve and up to read! Especially if you are in some sort of situation that probably has a lot to do with peer pressure and your not quite sure how to handle it. This book probably wasn’t the best book I’ve read but there are certainly a few stories of choice that I could not get enough of!
