Adolescence is a time when youth undergo big changes and assume new responsibilities, juggling school, family and friends. Throw in work, dating, exams, extra-curricular activities, peer pressure — and it’s no wonder teens get knocked off balance. Three youths tell their stories in XS STRESS: Teens Take Control — an essential guide to staying afloat while navigating the choppy waters of adolescence. It’s fun. It’s full of good advice. It’s powerful and real. And it’ll make you strong when you come face to face with XS STRESS.

 A Fortune in Frozen Dim Sum
Directors: Ling Chiu/Selena La Brooy
Canada, 2004, 13 min
This quirky short drama begins with a light-hearted assertion: “Fortune was always there; you can’t be Chinese and not know about it.” As the narrator tells the sweet, complex and near-tragic tale of one Chinese immigrant family and their brush with disaster, she folds in sibling rivalry, romance, lost dreams, old secrets, family economics and Grandma’s lucky encounter with an ill-fated squirrel, to arrive at a poignant conclusion. In the end, their true fortune may turn out to be their devotion to each other.
