Dear Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Most people don’t really know what press

Dear Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul,

Most people don’t really know what pressures a typicalteenager has to go through. Sure, our parents and grandparents were once teens,but things are so different now. It has never been to tougher (严格)to a teenager.

It had never been more important to be in the “rightgroup” or to have the “right brand” of shoes. And those are the easy things todeal with. We also face problems with family, friends, relationships and schoolpressures.

When it gets to be too much, I turn to my friends. Onefriend I could not live without is Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Yourbooks have been so inspiring to me and have helped me to deal with andunderstand the problems I go through.

For example, I went through a confusing time with myfriends when we got to junior high. I had known these friends sincekindergarten, and when we began junior high it seemed like some of them beganto change. We started hanging out with different groups, and we slowly grew sofar apart that it seemed as if we had never been friends. I felt confused andhurt.

Sometime during this period I read the story FriendsForever in Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul Ⅱ.I felt so much better afterreading it. It was like a weight had been lifted from me when I realized thatmany friendships went through changes and that we weren’t the only friends toexperience them.

People change, but that doesn’t mean we have to losethe friendships we once shared. My friends and I still spend time together whenwe can and care about each other a lot. That things are different doesn’t meanI have to forget about all the good times we had. I will always keep thememories in a safe place in my heart.

Sincerely,

Peter
