In a world where there is more negativity associated with teenagers versus the really great and awesome things happening in the lives of so many teenagers, this book could not have been published at a better time! This book is a clarion call to other teenagers and the parents that love them: "You're not alone. When you read these stories about the lives of other teens you'll realize you share many experiences and emotions. That is so empowering and comforting."
That's why this collection of stories for teenagers is one of the most popular books in the Chicken Soup for the Soul Book Series ever; now updated for its 25th anniversary - with three dozen new stories added - including that of my son, Michael Mason!! His story is entitled, "From Bullied to Blessings!" It is a powerful story of Overcoming!!
