BLAH! :p
This book seems to go over the same things over and over. It's not even that helpful, most of us already know this stuff. We are being forced to read it in our High School, and if we wanted to read a self-help book we would have read it on our own. It seems to just make problems worst. Self help books seem to try and get everyone to be perfect and live in a semi Utopian world.

This book was an assignment for my freshmen year and I have to say my history text book is more interesting. The book is dry and repetitive preaching what every teen hears countless times a day, don't do drugs and work hard. It's nothing new and not worth a minute of any teens time.

Not impressed
Ok. For TEENS who believe that this book has helped them in so many ways, it didn't. You are changing your ways, good for you, but not because of this dry and repetitive book. No one likes textbooks, and that's exactly what this is. Yes there are cartoons and funny quotes, but teens are not ten. This book lacks substance and really has no potential because self help comes from within and life experience.

The 7 Habits of how sean coveys telling me how to live my life
OK here it is, all of you think that this book will "change the way teens act and help" is NOT true...I'm a teen and our English teacher made us read this book. Right now we have finished it and are writing our persuasive essays on the book....my opinion: This book shouldn't be taught in high school English...or anywhere for that matter. As I do, and many others, agree that this guy who wrote the book is just telling us how to live our life. I'm sorry but that's quite a lot of people's thoughts on this book, along with a lot of other negative thoughts on it.

Bad Review
My mom made me read this book and it is a waist of time. Its so stupid. This book is not going to change me.

Possibly the worst book ever.
Yet another terrible book I had the misfortune of finding. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective teens, is as dull, uninteresting and non-helpful as books get (I'm a teen, so I would assume I'm qualified in making this review).

Reading more like a text-book than an enjoyable read, the 7 Habits put me to sleep after the first 2 pages. After that, I read the book, but it never got any better.

In conclusion, the only fool that would think the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is a good book is probably not a teen.

Im real.
I hate this book. I have to read it for school, or as the book says choosing so that I don't fail. This book doesn't relate to me at all and I'm a teen. All my friends have to read it too and they all hate it. When I read it books it takes me a week at most. This book is taking me forever like 2 months. Every time I pick it up to read a little more I want to go to sleep. I really don't like it at all.
