TOPIC: Youth and mental health issues, a 12-part series in TEARAWAY

Giving Bullies the Shove
Bullying, long associated with immature schoolyard thuggery. But for some young people, the taunting doesn't stop on leaving the schoolyard.

Running on Empty: Eating Disorders
Not many, if any (thanks Scribe). No one is 100 percent happy with their body all of the time, that's just part of life. But the question is – when does a little hang-up turn into a serious problem?

How Much Did I Win? How Much Did I LOSE!?
My name is Alicia and I'm 19 years old. I work as a youth worker/mentor for a youth health service. I started gambling two and a half years ago with a friend who was already addicted.

You're Not Alone
Growing up with a parent having a mental illness is something that can be really hard. As a young kid I was full of questions about Mum's illness and why she was different to other mums.

My Illness is Just a Small Part of Me
My name is Wallace Stevenson. At the moment I am working for the national 'Like Minds Like Mine' campaign. You might have seen the 'know me before you judge me' ads on TV which are part of the campaign.
