Foreword
Most teen books are written in retrospect by those who say, Hey, I remember what I felt like when I was sixteen the arguments with parents, flunking math, and falling in love. I remember the day my best friend decided he didnt want to be my best friend anymore. Its not unusual for used-to-be-teens turned authors to sit down and write their stories.
This book is different. It isnt a collection of adults rein-venting their teen years. It isnt a scrapbook of the past or a touched-up picture of teen life cut and pasted into something it wasnt.
This book is, instead, those restless years close-up, personal, and in progress. The stories were written by teenagers during their teenage years. This book brims with the stuff of everyday teen life, the thoughts and worries and dreams and insecurities and fantasies and hopes, not of someone looking back, but of someone looking forward. Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul: Real Stories by Real Teens is a collection of stories and poetry that is different because it is written from the trenches of youth.
Within these pages, its voices are like the teens themselves: all over the map. Some are soft and sad; others are loud and strident. Theyre bright with hope and tinged with fear. Theyre the voices of kids shouting at a rally, kids answering a question in class, and kids whispering in the back of a room.
Unlike some collections, nothing is pat here. It isnt a collection of teenagers standing in a row, all wearing the same white shirts and sunny smiles. Here are braces and frowns, dress shirts and T-shirts, earrings and nose rings, thirteen and nineteen, standing side by side.
It is Chicken Soup for the Teen Soulteens speaking out about being a teen today.
