I'm a huge fan of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, so, being just a few years past my teenage years, I bought it for my niece. She liked it so much, she insisted that I read it. I did read it and understood why she was such a fan. As usual, the stories were all so uplifting and I really liked how they found stories so specifically aimed at teenagers and struggles and challenges they face. My niece really couldn't be happier with book and has actually recommended to many of her friends, as well as her mother. HIGHLY recommended!
