What did you think of our Chicken Soup for the Soul feature?

Chicken_soup.jpg

Hey M Girls,

In our December issue of M, we introduced a brand new feature from the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series and we want to know what YOU thought of it!

In "The Gift of Lost Friendship," you meet Rachel, who has a tough battle with a frenemy. Did you ever have to deal with a fake friend, like Rachel does? How did you handle that?

Talk it out in the comments!

Plus, do you want to see more features like this one in M? Why or why not?

cool first comment!
well, last year my bff had pretty much ignored me the first part of the school year. we were bffs by christmas though (yay!!). she introduced me to the friend that she had replaced me with. i thought at first that she was a mean girl (which i found out now that she was), but my bff convinced me she wasnt. so we hanged out with her and some of her friends. then we had let our guard down so much, i ended up telling her my crush! eventually it spread like wildfire to all the girls in the class! i realized that she was a mean girl, but my friend wasnt convinced. she was still my friend, but sometimes she would be mad at the other girl, and other times be like it was perfect. then over the summer, my bff called me and said she got an email from her friend. it said that she didnt want to be bffs with my bff anymore. my bff was really hurt. i felt sorry for her, but i knew we shouldn't have trust the mean girl in the first place. plz dont make that mistake and be heartbroken in the end. TTYL PPL!!

Today i was sapose to go see New Moon with one of my new bff. i was txting one of her Besties that she was sapose to go to her house for like an hour. i found out that she was going to be spending the night at her house for the whole night or the whole weekend. i couldn't belive that she jsut blew me off like that.

that was cool. You should keep doing that. That was interesting.... YUP!

YES!!! USE IT! GENIOUS~! =)

i think that m magazine should definetley have the chicken soup article because this defineley explains and advises us girls!

i think its the best, and it gives you a lot of advice. They should have it every month. (:

This is great! :) It gives some good advice, and just thinking about it now, this helps me out a little!

justinluver101 on November 25, 2009 2:45 PM

i think it's really good. it could help anyone during a rough time

i luved it!!!!!!!!!!! it was a an AWESOME column!

ps shouldn't it be 'Chicken NOODLE soup for the soul'?
i thought it was.

CHICKEN SOUP 4 THE SOUL+M MAGAZINE=
PERF COMBINATION!

ALSO i did read it b4 bedtime!

goodgirljb1220 on November 26, 2009 2:38 PM

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

i love it i read the books all the time its awesome keep publishing it !!!

its awesome i read the books all the time keep publishing it !!!!!

I think you should keep publishing it.
I had a hard time in 6th grade, this girl was my friend, until the popular girls got to her. When she was by herself, she was really really nice, but when other people were around she was mean.Now she goes to a different school and its been a year, but it still hurts that she would lie, and not keep my secrets well secrets, and she was only nice to me when no one was around.

I loved it so much

I reall liked chicken soup when i was little and i used to read them alot 2!

I THINK THATS REALLY COOL(:

i love it. it really helps me learn about some tough stuff in life, and how to get through them. its also good to know that im not the only one who goes through tough things at my age. :]

I liked it, it gives girls advice to stay out of drama and stuff like that you should do it every month
BTW:1st comment mrsnickjonas1997 HE'S MINE

nixsy_rodriguez on January 1, 2010 11:55 PM

this just hapened to me and my friend farrah said if i talked to someone she hated in front of her she wouldnt talk to me ever again. so i sent her an email about it. now one day i traveled to boston because i had just moved to texas from there a year or 2 ago. so i was with my est, best friend kassandra. she has farrahs # and so she texted her after i told her what had happened with farrah and i. i texted her with kassandras phone and said 'i know that that email was harsh but you needed to hear it' she texted back saying whatevs. so i said' whatever to you too cause i will keep hangig out with annie{my other friend} and if you cant accept that we dont need to be friends.' she told me to just keep hanging out with annie cause by that time we werent friends anymore. so i told her i wont talk to you {cause she didnt want to tal to me of course} if you dont talk to me. then she yelled LEAVE ME ALONE then trie to suck kassandra into our fight and thought that was wrong. and i havent gotten back to school but i bet i'll be better off without her and i know annie will be what farrah wasnt as a friend and more.now im done with farrah

IT WAS KINDA BORING TO ME I WOULD RATHER HAVE SOMETHING ELSE

I didn't like it

I really like the chicken soup for the soul series. I think they open my eyes and I think "wow i'm in my room getting worked up about a zit and there are people out there with real probs!" I think they are good books to just sit in a quiet place to read!

I really like the chicken soup for the souls series! I read it then i'm just like "wow here I am getting worked up about a zit and there are people with real probs!" My advice- if you have time read a chicken soup for the soul book! ;D

I

It is okay i guess, i would rather read about MILEY.

♥♥ ~~ LOVE STORY~~ ♥♥ A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty and he said no. She asked him if he would want to be with her forever and he said no. She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no. She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said.... You're not pretty you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever. I NEED to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die... ♥♥ ~~THE END~~ ♥♥ .......Isn't that sweet? Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you. Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere on IM or email, outside of school, anywhere! Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. If you break this chain letter you will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years. If you post this to 15 pages in 15 minutes, you're safe.

I love it! :D well My friend is getting really bratty. She is such a drama queen sometimes. And I regret this, but sometimes I feel like I don't want to be friends with her anymore. Sometimes we get in fights over texting, and she doesn't stop fighting untill she has it her way. Then the next day after the fight she acts like we are best friends again! Then if I do something to hurt her she turns other friends against me. Please help!
