Synopsis:
A groundbreaking series about teenage sexuality that follows the
lives of some very different teenagers as they come to terms with
their emerging sexuality. Real stories include those of Marie, 14,
and her 15-year-old boyfriend Joe. As she enters the last few
difficult months of her pregnancy, Joe decides he doesn't want to
continue the relationship. Marie and Joe's story contrasts with
that of Zihanna, 17, who as a Jamaican Catholic is going against
the wishes of her mother and boyfriend in deciding to have a
termination. The work of schools in promoting sex education is
explored, as are the efforts of health services such as the Brook
Advisory Clinic.
