COMMENTS FROM YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT THE BOOK GETTING REALThis is an excellent guide-book for teenagers or parents trying to have a better understanding of their young adults. It creates an awareness of the problems teenagers are inevitably going to be faced with, at the same time it offers solutions to these problems.
Paul (17) When I was fifteen, I got depression and anxiety attacks. Life felt so strange and scary. I needed help. I have come through the other side and I believe this book offers guidance to young people who may be struggling for understanding about their lives.
Andrea (20) Hey amrita, thank you for your book... I just got it this morning... the colour is great and all the photos look excellent brings life to it. You should be proud all that hard work...the whole colour photo thing really gives young people something to relate to i think a good approach makes it hip... Kamisha, 21 Melbourne What parents say... This is an amazing book! It speaks hauntingly to the teenager inside every adult. It helped me to the bridge gaps between me and my own parents. It also alerted me to the ones that had begun to grow between me, as a parent and my own teenagers. This book can help everyone make sense of the Journey.

I looked through the book, read bits and pieces and thought it was fantastic. It seems to cover everything that we need to get through our adolescence and hence our life.
Lee, a mother As a parent and a survivor of child abuse, I'd like to thank you. You've hit the nail on the head. GETTING REAL... about growing up! is written in a language that teenagers can relate to and understand. It's the most positive piece of work for young people that I've read. This book has helped my daughter to believe what has happened to her and to come to terms with her experience of sexual abuse... and a lot more.
Sharon, a mother
This book is masterful. It's so full of life it jumps out at you.
