This book is great. I didn't know there were so many great true stories out there, but the authors of "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul III" have found many more inspirational stories. This book was written to help teens deal with the issues that they face everyday, from first love to heartache, from best friends to enemies. This book will help guide you through the tough times and add happiness to the great times. The best part of this book is that the stories are written by teens for teens. There is something for everyone in it. The variety in this book is great. From the cartoons to the poems, you will never get bored of reading it. I could barely put it down. I learned a lot of great lessons while reading it. Another great point of this book is that you can go back and read different sections over again, depending on your mood. For example if you are depressed and want to read a story to brighten your day you can read one out of the "The Power of Love" chapter. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read.

I am an avid follower of the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series and after reading Teen 3 I have to admit I am increadibly impressed by the calibur in which this book was written. Teenagers obviously have alot to say, and in this book they say it with such heart, such intelligence and such gentle wisdom. I read the entire book in one sitting, I couldn't put it down and in that I realized something, that with all the books out there for teenagers, as a teen, I would much rather read stories written by my peers. The first two books of the series were increadible, but there is something to be said for that fact that this was the first to make me cry, laugh, and re-read the next day.

I thought this was a really good book. I'm thirteen now , but I read a Chicken Soup For the soul book for the first time when I was twelve. I have Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 and 3. And my younger brother recently got Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul. Some of the stories I read didn't apply to me, but I still enjoyed reading them, and seeing how the different people overcame different situations. I was especially touched by one story entitled " Tell Me Why You cry" in Chicken Soup for the teenage Soul two. But I won't say what is was about. I'll let you find out for yourself. Because every teenage kid, or twelve and eleven year-olds should read these books. Because whether they make an impact on your life or not, they will show you that you can overcome anything if you try.

I think that this was a fabulous book. I have read the previous two and the relationship book, and this one totally compares. It is written to teens and discusses the things that effect our lives. I cant wait for the next one. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 3 indeed does hold more stories of life, love and learning. I got this book for my birthday four months ago, and I have read a story almost every night. The stories in these books are written by teens, for teens. Stories about everything from bilingual relationships to suicide attempts. I have also read Teen 1 &2 as well as Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul letters. Letters from readers tell about how hearing that they were not alone saved some people from suicide, salvaged relationships and healed those whose hearts were broken. Obviously, the stories in these books are quite powerful, and though sad, I would put this on a must-have list for teens of all shapes and sizes.

Another great entry in the "Chicken Soup" series. Your teen will find plenty of meat in this soup to help guide him or her through these challenging years. Some of the stories can be a real inspiration. There isn't a lot of preaching that teens will resist, but interesting, informative stories by their peers as well as their "elders." A wide range of topics are covered, all of interest and value for teens. Topics range from friends, parent problems, and love, to daily pressures, dealing with relatives, and everyday activities. They're sure to learn from the experiences of others. The girls will learn from what the guys are really thinking. The book is very up-to-date, providing teens with what they need to know in their current culture. Both guys and girls are sure to benefit, while they enjoy reading. There is definitely a lot of "stuff" in these 400 pages ! A must read, especially as vacation time approaches.

I love the teenage Chicken Soup books. Each one was impossible to put down. I love the new one even more. It seems like the authors are really getting closer to the things teenagers care about. Don't get me wrong, the other books are fantastic, it is just that this one felt more "teenage" to me than any of the others. I am not going to be a teen for much longer and these books make me realize that the teen years are very specail. I am going to be sure to enjoy what is left of my teenage years. There were too many stories that were my favorites to list them all, but there is a secti0on on columbine that made me cry and the relationship chapter is incredible, especially the Dear Boy letter and the story Kissing The bully. There were so many goosd ones, you just have to read it and see for yourself. I am so thankful for these books.

From bike crashes, to growing up, to inspirational stories; this book has it all. Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Three will bring a tear to your eye and put a smile on your face. It was organized by three adults. Kimberly Kirberger, Mark Hansen, and Jack Canfield. But the book itself was written purely by teens.
This edition of Chicken Soup is not the first. There are many others, including one for pet lovers! This book will really make you want to get up and do something. When reading these stories, I felt inspired to change something that I thought was wrong. I especially enjoyed that you don't have to read the book in order. You can pick the story that fits your mood, and from the first sentence you're captured. These stories are all non-fiction. Some are funny and some are sad, but each is special. If there's one you don't like, skip it!
One of the stories that I enjoyed was called "Some Things Are Never the Same." It's about two friends who are growing apart because of cliques. The popular friend falls into a trap. Her new "so called friends" make up rumors about her old friend. In the end, although the girl realizes her mistake, the friendship isn't the same. I can really relate to this because dealing with friendships can be hard.
The teens who submit to this book really have a story to tell. I think it's cool that they're true stories, because you can imagine being in their shoes. I really loved the book because it kept me reading for hours. The book also contains stories from famous actors, athletes, and singers. There is even a passage from The Diary of Anne Frank! Whenever I need a boost, I reach for the book and read the stories again.

This book was totally awesome and I advise people to read it. It was one of the best books I have ever read and it gave me alot of advice through the very interesting stories they provided. This book was my favorite out of the "chicken noodle soup for the teenage soul" series. I really enjoyed reading it, for me it was one of those books that are so good you can't put it down. I really recommend this book if you like real life situations where you can really seem to realate to at least some of the stories. It feels like you have been in these sort of situations before and the stories kind of put you in the other person's shoes. This book made me feel sorry or happy for the main people in these stories and they made me think about my life and if I am hurting people or I made them feel the way some of the characters do. Long story short I really loved this book it had romance, tragedy, horror, suspense, and well... you get the idea, but it made me love it and I am sure if you read it you will feel the same as I did about this book.

I have to start out by stating one thing... I loved this book. It was so great. It was a book about many things. Love , friendship, parents, dating, trust, and many more. This book was written by many people including some famous people, like jennifer love hewitt which made it fun. it was set up in special catagories like friendship, love etc. All the stories were cram packed with a little good writting and a whole lot of heart. just to mntion a couple one of my favorites was called the Bible. It ws about a guy who was graduating and he wanted a car for grad. present really badly. He went out shopping with his dad and found the perfent one. well when it came time for his dad to give him his present he gave his son a wrapped Bible. The son got so mad that he threw it down and stormed out of the house. He never saw his dad again until his dad died and he had to go through all of his posetions. In doing this he stumbled upon the old dustly Bible that was intended to become his gift. For the first time he opened it and found a check inside made out to the exact amount of the car he and his father had dicovered. There are many stories in this book that are filled with laughter and some with tears. I loved it so much and was more that happy to read it. It might even be a book I could sit down Some day and read again. I would recomend this book to all of my friends and anyone out there who is looking for a fun and interesting book to read.
