Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Journal (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Journal, was one of the most moving books I have read. It is directed towards adolescents, and deals with issues every adolescent girl faces. It's a blend of stories, quotes, poems, and spaces to write your thoughts. This book has many different sections such as: family, learning lessons, love and kindness, and tough stuff. My favorite section, however, is "loving yourself". This book gave me a chance to deal with issues and see that I am not the only girl whom faces such issues. Chicken Soup is a book that I am able to pick up and at any time if I need some inspiration, help, or reassurance. Other issues helpful to me were on drinking, self-esteem, eating disorders, and how to deal with my past. Another good part about this book is that a lot of it is compiled with texts written by teenage authors. There are spaces for friends to write about you, and spaces for you to express how you feel on certain issues. Chicken Soup allowed me to realize I was not the only girl who had experienced some of the feelings I did. After reading this book I knew I wasn't alone! I do highly recommend this book to any teenage girl. Adolescence is a hard time to get through, and many girls need inspiration. You do not have to read the book cover to cover; you can pick it up any time and read whatever section you desire.

my mom bought me this a few christmas's ago. I wasnt really a diary type person so I figured I wouldnt like it. But one day when I was bored, I opened it up and looked and realized what I had been missing. this is definitly a great book for teenagers. Its not just a blank journal, it gives you lots of interesting ideas to write about and asks questions that make you think. I love writing in it if I'm bored. And it's big so it wont get used up fast. Also, even though there are sections, you dont have to do each one in order, you can just skip around if you want. the sections are similar to the ones in the chicken soup for the teenage soul books. and for some of the questions, they give alot of space to just write whatever you want. I especially liked the section where your friends, boyfriend, etc. could write to you and the part where you can put your pictures. I highly recommend this journal! its great! I hope they come out with a second one

If you are a teenager and what to tell somebody or something your problems that won't EVER tell anyone, this is the book for you. This book helps any teenager that wants its help. Tell this book about your life, have friends, family, etc. write in your book. Discover things about yourself that you didn't realize before! READ THIS BOOK!!!!

This wonderful book helps our youth to focus onsuccess. It's a great tool to facilitate building high self-esteemand focus on achieving positive goals. I highly recommend this also for pre-teens who are eager to become teenagers. This book will give a great advantage to those youth serious about a successful future. The exercises and inspiration in this book will help motivate youth and adults alike.

I love this book! It's not just a journal. It's very therapeutic and it will definitly help people who feel they are detached in certain areas of their life. Some times it says, "Write some things that you feel you are being pressured to do by your family. As you write it down, imagine that you are throwing it in the trash." This is definitly a great book, even if you aren't having any troubles in your life. There are even places for your friends , boyfriend and family to write in for support. I highly suggest this book for everyone who reads the Chicken Soup Books. And even if you don't, this is a good book to start with.
