Typical teenage stereotypers.
This book was for summer reading for 7th becoming 8th graders
and honestly, it was a bunch of bull. I don't see why anyone can buy this and not develop an intense passion of hate towards such attitudes towards these "teenage self help" books.

This book is only helpful if you are a complete loser who doesn't know how to do ANYTHING. It's like a book telling you how to blink: long and painful. This book made me feel completely underestimated. It might as well been my father handing me a lollipop, patting me on the head, and telling me how my older brother was just 'wrestling' with the girl on the couch in the family room last night. Despite the fact that I may come off arrogant in this review, the book didn't exactly give me any warm fuzzy feelings of self achievement either. Instead of making me feel inspired and informed, it just told me everything I already knew and made me feel like I was mentally challenged.

Positive redirection
I was tired of battling with my teen... instead of punishment for poor attitude, I redirected them through reading this book a chapter at a time - then discussing it together... abd now we are working through more together. Can't complain about that!

7 habits?
simply preachy and over rated... this guy has no idea what its like to be an avrage teenager, he writes it from the point of view as someone that has listened to everything they have ever herd from an adult. in one part of the book a student wrote to the author that his friend had exparamented with hashish 'a marijuana extract' and later he had drowned because of it. the auther completely disregards that this is an absolute worst case scenario and acts as though this will happen to you if you decide to experiment with any kind of substance or drug. different things work for different people and fans act like this book will solve all problems for teenagers.

Great Book
I wanted my son to read this book so I purchased 2. One for me and one for him and we are reading it together and I have him answer questions after each chapter. I am really enjoying the book. My son thinks of it as homework so I am not sure how much he is getting out of it but I know he will get something out of it.

A Must for Teenagers
My daughter's class used this book to help seventh graders look at their lives and try to organize themselves. She found that working through the book was so rewarding that she continued on her own at home by completing the acompanying workbook. The book provides a great foundation for discussion with your maturing kids.

A reviewer
The reason why I first read this book was because I had lied to my parents when I was in 7th grade and this book caught my dad's eye so he wanted me to read it. When I started reading it, I had an extremely closed mind and even before I had barely started it I decided that I wasn't going to like it. Then, very slowly, I started to like it and listen to what Sean Covey was saying. By the end, I was sad that it was over. Now, I'm going to be a sophomore and I have already re-read it and gave it to my younger sister for her to read. The second time around, it was even better! I really loved this book! I also liked how it had cartoons and stories in it to make it interesting! All teenagers should read this book!!!!

An Insparational Sensation That's Sweeping the Nation!
This book is very motivational. It teaches teens how to deal with the pressure and hardships of their life. This book helps teens to realize that no matter how horrible their life may seem, there is always someone who treads a darker, harder road. I would reccomend this book for anyone, even adults, becuase you learn self control, self improvement, and most of all, to love your life. Anybody could use a bit of comfort! The only problem is that Sean Covey may give the impression that a teen has to be perfect. However when reading this book you will realize that he does not mean for you to be pristine, just to improve yourself so you can shine.

Motivation
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens By: Sean Covey For a grade I give this book an A+. This book changed my life. I read it because I had to. At first, I thought this book was going to be stupid. As I read it I soon had noticed how successful this would be to me and realized that I was already changing. It provided me with advice on how to get through life, making friends and study skills. It talked about how to treat people the right way. My grades where getting better, and I was actually doing good in school. This book motivated me to do well and I have achieved many things because of it. I recommend this book to not only teens but to anyone out there who can read.

Usual LDS Junk
This book is good for kids when the parents didn't pay attention to them when they were younger. If parents parent when the kids are young they won't need this book to teach the kid later.

he tells it like it is.
first time i tried reading the book, i was like, oh no this guy's judging me and i wont let him do it. so i slammed it shut and tried to never flip through it again. until finally, some comments bugged me hard on certain soft spots and i gave in. FINE! so i read and read, and man was he right. now that i gave in to let his words sink in,i realized it was kind of funny, when you really think about it. i really recomend this book to people of all ages. this book will give you wise advice and great realizations in life. it's funny, 'real ', and very informative. you definitely will enjoy the book.

BEST BOOK EVER!
I am a 15 year old in high school. This book has helped me like you wouldn't believe! I just finished it and it's been a great help. If you have a teen in your household this makes the perfect gift. It has helped me be me and get over some of the problems that teens face everday. It's helped me reach my goals and be more organized. This book is full of quotes, cartoons, quizes, and things called baby steps to help apply what you learned to your own life. I would recommend this book to any teen!
