Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Middle School: 101 Stories of Life， Love， and Learning for Younger Teens was about each teen telling their own story about middle school。even though the students would get bullied， but even though that happens these middle school students would always find a way to bring themselves back up with the help with some friends。 I would recommend this book to almost anyone who has or will have trouble surviving middle scho Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teens Talk Middle School: 101 Stories of Life， Love， and Learning for Younger Teens was about each teen telling their own story about middle school。even though the students would get bullied， but even though that happens these middle school students would always find a way to bring themselves back up with the help with some friends。 I would recommend this book to almost anyone who has or will have trouble surviving middle school。There are ways that people/students could get what they want。 For example Bullies could be using you for many reasons，Money，Corruption And loads of more。but if we can make this world a better place than it is then we may have a shot at winning against the world。this book reminds me of the time when i was in the most terrible school known to mankind the schools name was ps 138 located in the Bronx。Boy did i have the worst schoolhood in the entire life。so if you are having trouble in school or middle school then this book is for you。 。。。more

I think this book teaches kids in middle school not to bully people just because they are different。It affects the people who you bully and their families because i'm sure they notice a change in your behavior。 I think this book teaches kids in middle school not to bully people just because they are different。It affects the people who you bully and their families because i'm sure they notice a change in your behavior。 。。。more

This is a book with listed stories， about Middle School Life and Danger， and has some good guidelines。 Now that I'm experiencing 6th grade， this book will make you feel better in this time。 Middle School is very tough， but once you have new friends and teachers， it is a daily routine。Once I'm done with this school I can check off "Middle School" on my list！ Because I was so prepared on the journey。 This is a book with listed stories， about Middle School Life and Danger， and has some good guidelines。 Now that I'm experiencing 6th grade， this book will make you feel better in this time。 Middle School is very tough， but once you have new friends and teachers， it is a daily routine。Once I'm done with this school I can check off "Middle School" on my list！ Because I was so prepared on the journey。 。。。more

This had wonderful people who shared what happened in their lives。 I loved all their stories some were just boring to me and weird but it was a little bit badder than Odd Girl Speaks Out。 In that book， there was some really scary things that I shouldn't know about。 What really depressed me is that the book gave in some the same people who teaches teens a lesson。 This had wonderful people who shared what happened in their lives。 I loved all their stories some were just boring to me and weird but it was a little bit badder than Odd Girl Speaks Out。 In that book， there was some really scary things that I shouldn't know about。 What really depressed me is that the book gave in some the same people who teaches teens a lesson。 。。。more

I liked the way the book was。 There were some stories that I cried。 In a story， when the prettiest girl in a school died by car accident。 I was so shocked and impressed by the way storyteller explained how the girl was pretty and great and how the storyteller felt when she heard it。 But I rated it 4 because it was a little bit too long。

I hope I found this book earlier， when I found it I was about three weeks from graduating middle school。 However， I bought it for my sister who is going to be a seventh grader after the summer， hoping that she gets the ideas and lessons in the stories and succeed in middle school。 :-）
