This edition contains important lessons on the nature of friendship and love, the importance of belief in the future, and the value of respect for oneself and others, and much more.

Co-author Kimberly Kirberger says, “After enjoying the success of the first Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul book we knew it would be a huge challange to make the second one as good. Because of our strong desire to please and thank our devoted teenage audience we worked twice as hard on this edition. We were really excited to be able to include many more stories written by teenagers in this one and also to be able to have more stories in the categories they said were their favorites. We are extremely grateful that this book is being received with the same enthusiasm as the first.”

Chapters focus on love, friendship, family, tough stuff, growing up, kindness, learning lessons and making a difference. In keeping with the themes and content of the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul series, teens will also find support, encouragement and understanding from their peers, as well as from caring and compassionate adults.
