This is going to sound a little silly or obvious, but an excellent book that you can take a story from to do a monologue with is one of the stories in one of the books in the series "Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul."

It is available at the public library or bookstore, and is very popular with me and my students. There's every emotion and attitude, belief and situation covered in the stories in the book, and what is good is that there are so many in there, there are plenty to choose from for the length and content that you are shooting for.

Good luck!

Once upon a time.....

Everyday.....

Until one day....

So because of that.....

and because of that.....

until finally....

and ever since that day....

and the moral of the story is .....
