Taste Berries for Teens

"Your teen years are the greatest years of your life." Yea, right! Whoever said that must have been overdosing on anti-depressant pills! I don't mean to be melodramatic, and I not one to say that adolecense is horrible as I've only been a teenager for three years myself. At any rate, you spend much of your adolecense fighting with the two main components of your life- friends:peer pressure, dating,love, etc; and family. Your friends and family expect alot of you and that can make life extremely stressful! Bettie B. Youngs, the author of this book, and the mother of a teenager as well seems to know this well and her book wil help any teen to realize that she/he isn't alone. Being a teen is tough, but Bettie and her daughter and coauthor Jennifer help you to realize that you WILL survive! This book is not only helpful, but fun to read as well. I also highly reccomend "A Taste Berry Teen's Guide to Managing Stress and the Pressures of life.", also by Youngs. This book is extremely helpful because it breaks down all the different stages of stress. She's my new fave author!

If you are a teen, this book is for you. Your story is in here. Find out how others delt with it and how you can. Wonderful short stories with comments from the authors. This is a Great book!

Some people don't like this book because its not like a chicken soup book and they say the stories have no meaning. But they do to the people who wrote the stories and sent them in. They took their own time to do it and I thought that was nice because they helped put the book thgether.I thought the stories were inspirational.I would reccomend this book to any one for a rainey day book or just a book to read any time because it is uplifting and encourageing.

When I read this book I was amazed at how true it was. Being a teen myself I know the trouble we face each day and this book helped me realize how much I need to be myself and that its just something that almost everyone goes through! I hope the authors are inspired enough to write another one! I will sure add another story to help them!

I really enjoyed this book. It has stories about love, friendship, parents, and popularity. Even if you are not a teen you will love this book! The stories are uplifting and joyful, yet sometimes a little sad. If you liked Chicken Soup for the Teen's Soul you really need to read this! I highly recommend it and hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.
