Soup story of your own, to share with other readers who are just like you.
This volume contains our 101 best stories and poems on tough challenges that face teenagers. We share this with you at a very special time for us, the fifteenth anniversary of our Chicken Soup for the Soul series. When we published our first book in 1993, we never dreamed that we had started what would become a publishing sensation, one of the best-selling lines of books in history.
We did not set out to sell more than one hundred million books, or to publish more than 150 titles. We set out to touch the heart of one person at a time, hoping that person would in turn touch another person, and so on down the line. We know that it has worked. Your letters and stories have poured in by the hundreds of thousands, affirming our life’s work, and inspiring us to continue to make a difference in your lives.
On our fifteenth anniversary, we have new energy, new resolve, and new dreams. We have recommitted to our goal of 101 stories or poems per book, we have refreshed our cover designs and our interior layout, and we have grown the Chicken Soup for the Soul team, with new friends and partners across the country in New England.
In this new volume, we showcase our best stories and poems on tough times for teenagers, drawn from our fifteen year history. We know that being a teenager is difficult even under idyllic circumstances. But when bad things happen, the challenges of being a teenager can be overwhelming, leading to self-destructive behavior, eating disorders, substance abuse, and other challenges. In addition, many of you are faced with illness, car accidents, the loss of loved ones, divorces, and other upheavals, and the obstacles to happiness can seem insurmountable. We chose stories written by other teenagers just like you. We hope that you will find these stories inspiring and supportive, and that you will share them with your families and friends. We have identified the 20 Chicken Soup for the Soul books in which the stories originally appeared, in case you would like to continue your journey through your teenage years with some of our other books. We hope you will also enjoy the additional titles for teenagers in “Our 101 Best Stories” series.
With our love, our thanks, and our respect,
~Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen
對我們而言，101 是個神奇的數字，這個數字代表我們第一本心靈雞湯的101 個故事，也是我們這本書的目標。我們喜歡這個數字，因為它代表著開始，而非結束。100 之
後，我們再向101 發起征程。
我們也希望你在讀完這本書後能夠有一個全新的開始：對人生有全新的認識、對生活有更高的目標，並有戰勝困難的更加堅定的決心。也許你會拿起電話，同朋友和愛人分享其中的一個故事。也許你會敲打鍵盤，講述有關你自己的心靈雞湯故事，並同其他與你有同樣遭遇的人共勉。這卷書的101 個故事講述了年輕人所面對的艱難與挑戰，在心靈雞湯系列叢書出版15 周年這個特殊日子，我們希望與你分享本書。1993 年心靈雞湯第一冊面世時，我們未曾奢望它會獲得如此大的反響並成為歷史上最暢銷的叢書之一。
我們的目標並不是大賣一億冊，或是繼續發行150 個分冊。我們希望我們的故事在某個時段觸及一個人的內心，希望他的感觸繼而影響另一個人，並讓這種感觸延續下去。相信我們已經做到了，你們的回信和有關你們的故事雪片般送到了這裏，這肯定了我們的工作，並將激勵我們繼續為你們的生活帶來變化。
在叢書出版15 周年之際，我們積蓄新的能量、設定新的目標、懷揣新的夢想。我們致力於每本書都為大家獻上101 個故事，我們更新了封面並重新設計版式。我們的團隊更加成熟，新的朋友和搭檔遍佈整個新英格蘭地區。
本卷為大家奉獻的是本書創辦15 年以來最感人的有關年輕人面對逆境的故事。我們瞭解年輕人的艱辛，哪怕你的青年時代陽光明媚。當不幸降臨，年輕人所面臨的挑戰異常嚴峻，這可能令他自暴自棄、飲食無常、沉溺毒品或墮入歧途。此外，許多年輕人忍受著疾病、車禍、愛人的逝去、離婚以及其他苦難的折磨，幸福路上的障礙看似不可逾越。
書中故事的作者是和你一樣的年輕人，我們希望你可以從中獲得激勵與支持，也希望你可以和家人與朋友一同分享這些故事。這些故事是從20 本《心靈雞湯》叢書中摘錄的，在文後我們已為大家注出，希望這些書可以陪你一起度過青年時代。我們也希望你會喜歡“我們101 個最美故事”系列中關於年輕人話題的分冊書目。
獻上我們的愛意、感激和尊敬
——傑克?坎菲爾德，馬克?維克多?漢森

Christy Gonzales killed herself in the spring of our senior year.
She was beautiful. She played volleyball. She was homecoming queen.
Everyone was more than shocked. She’d always been so happy, so popular and so active in extracurriculars. She had so much love and light. She always signed her name with a heart above the “i” and included her middle name, which was Valentina.
Why she did it is a human mystery, but the obvious reason given was that she was heartbroken because her boyfriend—some sophomore, no less—dumped her.
I remember the silence in our homeroom class—except for the sounds of people crying: boys
and girls, jocks and nerds.
As the hour wore on, Nick Denver, the quarterback, quietly spoke to Fred Gregory through his sniffles.
“Remember,” Nick said, “when Christy punched me in the face at the seventh grade dance?”
They both started to laugh, softly. Nick had been making fun of her, and she lost her temper and gave him a sock straight to his nose that started him bleeding. He was shocked, but recognized he deserved it.
I could imagine Christy doing something like that. Although she was the sweetest person in the world, she had so much fire—she lived so in the moment of her feelings and emotions.
In freshman year English class, we’d read the other’s stories aloud to the class because we were too scared to read our own.
She’d let me cheat off her geometry test my sophomore year. We’d both been caught.
I’d once had a secret romantic view of suicide. I thought that it would be nice to have everyone miss me, to have my name forever bound with the tragedy of a depth no one could fathom. I imagined the kind of silence in the classrooms, the people sobbing in the halls. I imagined how people I didn’t know or barely knew would try to remember every detail—what I had said to
them, what I had worn the last day.
She had worn red the last day. At lunch the last day, she had said she was tired of always getting the tater tots, tomorrow she was getting fries. I could not have imagined a better funeral for Christy with the heavens outpouring rain like tears. The entire town was there, mourning.
I just kept thinking about how we all kept on going but Christy’s life stopped.
When I want it all to stop, I remember that you can’t dance without a body, and you can’t cry without eyes, and you can’t have the luxury of feeling when you aren’t here.
I wish she could have loved herself when she didn’t feel it from anyone else.
~Simone Would
相信活著是值得的，那麼你的信念將幫你創造這個事實。

克利斯蒂?岡薩雷斯在我們高三那年的春天結束了自己的生命。
她長得很美，會打排球，還是校園的舞會皇后。
人們得知這個消息後都很震驚。她一副樂天派的樣子，很受大家歡迎，課外活動都很積極。她簽名總是將字母“i”上面的點換成心形，裏面寫上自己的中間名——瓦倫蒂娜。
至於她為什麼要自殺沒人知道，比較容易讓人接受的理由是她因為被男友——一個低年級的男生，應該是高二的——拋棄而自暴自棄。
我清楚地記著當時教室異樣安靜，除了哭泣的聲音：女生、男生、活躍分子、書呆子，大家都為她的死感到悲傷。
時間在緩慢地流逝，球隊的四分衛尼克?丹
佛哽咽著對弗雷德?格裏高利說：“還記得嗎，七年級時一次克利斯蒂一拳打在我的臉上？”
接著他們都開始輕輕地笑了起來。那時尼克想和克利斯蒂開玩笑，沒想到她生氣了，對著他就是一拳，尼克的鼻子還流血了。
他當時驚呆了，但事後承認是自己活該。
我完全可以想像當時克利斯蒂的樣子，盡管平時她很溫柔，但也有脾氣——一時的激憤肯定也會讓她有出人意料的舉動。
高一的一次英語課，我和她因為害怕讀自己寫的作文，於是決定互相交換然後大聲朗讀對方的文章。
她還讓我幫她在幾何考試中作弊，結果我們都被老師發現了。
曾經我也對自殺有過浪漫的想法，那時在我看來，讓別人懷念是一件很美好的事，我的名字也將因此添上一抹悲劇色彩。我設想過教室裏會是怎樣的平靜，人們在操場上哭泣，和我不太熟悉甚至並不相識的人也會竭力回憶和我在一起的細節——我曾經對他們說過什麼，昨天我穿了什麼樣的衣服。
她昨天穿了件紅衣服。昨天午餐時她說她已經吃膩了土豆泥，明天她會吃炸薯條。
克利斯蒂葬禮的那天大雨傾盆，好像上天也在為她哭泣，如此糟糕的天氣很難想像接下來的儀式將如何進行，整個小鎮都像是沉浸在哀痛之中。
我不停地思考，為什麼大家都在而克利斯蒂離開了。我想讓一切都靜止下來。你跳舞的時候必須有一個舞伴，哭的時候也必須要掉眼淚，現在你不在也一定會感到落寞吧！
我多麼希望，克利斯蒂在感受不到別人的愛時，能夠學會愛自己。
