On relationships -- On friendship -- On family -- On love and kindness -- On learning -- Tough stuff -- Making a difference -- Going for it! Abstract This batch of CHICKEN SOUP contains important lessons on the nature of friendship & love, the importance of belief in the future, the value of respect for oneself & others, & much more. An inspirational collection of writings, about one-third by teenagers, that discuss the problems of growing up & how others have faced them. Stories of compassion and heroism celebrate those who are making a difference. Most American heroes aren't in our history books, nor do they have monuments erected in their honor. Their names aren't in the headline news or memorialized in song. The true hero is simply someone who makes a difference-large or small-in the lives of others. They battle disease, crime, poverty and human rights violations. They clean up environments, mentor neglected children and truly care about others. Most importantly, anyone can be a hero in the eyes of another. Published in: Deerfield Beach, Fla. Physical description: xvii, 354 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
