Customer Reviews

Fantastic!

I am a school counselor and kids are riveted by these stories. They can connect with the challenges the teens write about. Students who normally don't like to read beg me to borrow the book. I am trying to get the school library to order it.

Wow

This book changed the way I looked at life. I was depressed until I read through it. Reading about these guys was an inspiration. It let me go some tough times. Reccomended to everyone.

insightful look into teens of today

The essays in this book tell it like it is for teenagers and their issues. The students in my 8th grade class can't get enough of it. Whenever there's a free moment to read, at least one of them (sometimes the reluctant readers, too) will ask to borrow the book. The book is set up in categories such as "Body Image" and "Depression", etc. which makes it easy to pick an essay that may pertain to the subject you wish to address. If you are a teacher or a parent of a teenager, this book could prove invaluable.

unabashed soul-baring

This book is an excellent compilation of stories by teens who have struggled in many different areas. I found the book provided an interesting look at the hardships teens go through in this day in age. The heartache and maturity that comes through in these writings is truly unmatchable.
