Whatever your problem...shit happens and you can deal with it.Sometimes it's just not that easy to know how. That's the message from Michael Colling, a youth worker who helps young people improve their 'life skills'. He's the editor of a new book called 'The Other Side of Blue'. The book is a collection of stories from young people struggling with things like coming out at a young age or getting over a drug addiction. The central message is you're not the only one with your problem and you can get through it. Also here is Analee Matthews. She's written a chapter about her struggle to come to grips with her cultural identity. Analee was adopted from a Vietnamese orphanage when she was just 10 months old and brought to live in Australia. She has no idea who her parents are or why they gave her up.
