I was first introduced to Chicken Soup for the Soul three years ago in the 5th grade, when my teacher read one of the short stories out loud to the class. I forget what it was about, but it had something to do with depression and anorexia. It was definitely a story that belonged in the "Tough Times" section of the book. It got me thinking for awhile, even after my teacher finished reading. I replayed the scenario over and over in my head. It was hard to imagine that something that sounded so ho...more
Plot Synopsis:
Being a "normal" young adult is hard enough, but when young adults face tough times it gets even harder.
Rating: 4 out of 5
This is a great resource if you or a young adult you know is going through tough times, but it's not for everybody because these are true stories from young adults. As a teacher I would have this in my room for in case one of my students needs to know they are not alone, but I wouldn't keep it on the shelf for everyone to read.

I liked this a lot. At first it was a bit emotional...understand that this book isn't exactly a happy book. Many stories about adversity and the horrible things some teenagers have had to go through. This was a very good book for me to read as a close family member of mine recently passed away. Recommend it to any teen going through hard times. Must read!
I liked this book for many reasons but one of the reasons i like this book is because it reminds me a little about my life.
never got into reading it, i started reading another book.
I just really need this right now.
This book is amazing! It will help every teenager go through their lives thinking "I'm normal, this is all normal" and "I CAN do this!"
