"i gave this book five stars because this book is about teens my age going through the same things iam and the best thing is these kids know exactly what im going through because this stuff really happend to them and its about fisrt loves and some stupid stuff that either happend to make it or break it and i can relate to that and it remindes me that im not the only one who makes mistakes and that im not the only one who loses her friends like these kids did.:)"
"Chicken noodle soup was an interesting book to read because it wasn't just one story but it was many different stories written by many different people who wrote about their experiences. It was different for me because as your reading, you think, wow i can so relate to that and it makes you feel like your not the only person who has to deal with teenage problems. This book was different because it was written by actual teenagers whick made it more fun to read then something by a professional author. This book was a little different from the first one, there were more topics that occur in life around our age. My favorite story in this book was "starlight, starbright" which was about a girl who liked a boy that never seemed to notice her but in the end becomes her boyfriend. I thought it was sweet and it shows you that anything can happen and that real teenagers shouldnt give up if they like some one. It reminds me of a time when i was in 5th grade and i liked a boy in my class. I was really quiet and shy so i thought he didnt like me very much so i never confessed. At the end of the year i found out he liked me too. I read this story in the book like 3 times because everytime i do , it brings back memories. This book reassures you that your not alone and you just can't wait to see what life has to offer for a kid like you."
"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."
"Once again, the Chicken Soup series does not fail to amaze me. Whether your going to heartbreak, death, separation, or even just life itself, there's at least one story that you can relate to in this book. It really does what it says, like how chicken soup heals you while your sick, the book heals your mind. It helps you to realize that your not alone in this world, and that while you may seem like your the only one suffering, there's so many other people in the world with the same problems. The story that stuck up to me the most was Starlight, Star Bright. It was about a girl who looked up to her sister all the time, and as her sister started bringing boys home, the protagonist also got interested in boys. She fell in love with a boy who she had no chance with whatsoever, but somehow like a fairytale, she was able to get that boy. I don't know, it may seem quite ordinary, but it really gives you that tingly feeling that these things actually do happen in real life. It gives you hope for a brighter tomorrow, and a little hope."
