This book was a gift from my dad 5 yrs back. It has helped me shape my life and not just that but helped me carve to a better person. Though I m not a teen anymore I still prefer reading through the pages of this book over and over again for its simplified content.
Brilliant Book!!!

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
I completed reading the book yesterday, and I am very impressed by it...but I have to admit that the book fell into my hands at the right time! For if I had the opportunity to of red it before I wouldn't of thought it was so great!

You see I grew up in a small town we're groups of friends are very limited, we sort of all hung out together, and my parents raised me with alot of very positive values. When I turned 15 years old I had met an "awsome" guy, he was fun, he knew everybody, got along very good with him!

He used to smoke alot of pot, but I never touched the drug until after our first year of going out together. He was my best friend and I trusted him! Let me tell you that it wasn't long after, that pot led to drinking often and sniffing cocaine. By the age of 18 my life was ruined, I had dropped out of school, runed away from home, put my parents through hell by stealing food and money off them, spend all my money that I made from my part-time job, on coke!

Sadness and guilt ran through my vaines everysingle day for about 2 years! I would make my parents cry my long term girl friends cry the works!.........Until one day a very special girl and her brother, came to visit me! She had moved to Toronto to persue her education, and she decided to drop by see how I was doing. When she found out all that was going on she immediatly slapped me in the back of the head, and told me that if I was going to live me life this way, fine go ahead and die miserable, but that I had a chance to move in with her in Toronto were she could find me a Job, and start putting my life back on track!

So I left the same day without saying goodbye to my boyfriend, friends, or family. I told my Best friend, that knew everything that was going on, to talk to my parents for me. When I moved there I fell in love with the city and the new enviroment around me, I had trouble getting over my bad habbits but I had alot of help, love and support!

Anyways all this to say that when I decided to go back to highschool, I moved in with my aunt and uncle close by Toronto and I had to take a course wich ofered "The 7 Habbits of Highly Effective teens", and past the course with 80's. I learned how to communicate better, I learned that theres a whole new world out there for succsess just waiting for me. But most of all I learnt how to love, frogive, understand, to be understood, and my favorite Synergize!

Thank you Sean Covey, You've helped turn my life around!
One day I beleive that I will be able to thank you personally, I hope so anyway!

Sincerly, Chantal Essiembre

What a Book!!
I haven't finished it yet, but so far this boook has helped me with so problems within myself. It offered great advice and good quotes taht stick with you. Nomrally, I would read horror or adventrous books, but every now and then ther is just a certian book that grads you attention and won't let go until you finish it. Sean Covey as a knack for grabbing a teens attention (without even trying). Thanks for the great advice!

I am 16 and after I read this book for the first time, it totally changed my life. I look at situations differently now. I have taken what the author Sean Covey has told his readers and put it to use. It's not another self-help book that tries to tell the reader how to become the perfect little angel. This book tells you how it is and can help you in many areas of your life and it is truly a must have!
