Young Australians facing greatest challenge
*Sam wasn’t really interested in what the others were saying about her, well she didn’t show it in front of anyone; that would be displaying weakness and the vultures of the classroom would see that.

Home used to be a refuge, a place of peace, but now it was more like an island according to Sam. Her last year of school had been really positive at first, then came the pressure of thinking about life after school.
