Again and again, young people return to the question, "Am I the
same as other people or am I different?" It's a difficult question
to answer. Everyone knows that they're the same as other people in
lots of ways yet they suspect that they might also be different. Or
they want to be different... Or they accuse other people of being
different... Or they get beaten up for being different... This book
is about young people trying to find answers, or at least trying to
live more comfortably with the question. Using dozens of
recognisable vignettes, Luxmoore explores young people's anxieties
about ordinariness and extraordinariness, anxieties that affect
everything: their behaviour, choices, relationships, happiness. He
describes ways of working supportively and imaginatively with young
people so that they can begin to find a better balance, enjoying
their lives and achieving all sorts of things without losing sight
of the fact that - underneath everything and like everyone else -
they're ordinary, and there's nothing wrong with that. This
original and thought-provoking book will enable professionals in
counselling, teaching, youth work and youth justice to support
young people struggling with these anxieties and the eternal
question, "Am I normal?"
