No overview available for this season.

Episodes:

Ep. 1: On Sex (1992-02-24)

A hot topic for teens. What do they think about sex? Do they think they are old enough to be having sex? Are society's warnings and education about "safe sex" working?
Ep. 2: On Alcohol (1992-03-02)

Pressure to drink is everywhere and alcohol is an increasing problem with teenagers. In this episode we meet a girl who began to drink at 10 years of age, and a 16-year-old who is a reformed alcoholic.
Ep. 3: On Abuse (1992-03-09)

The United Nations states that every child has the right to love, care and affection. It is surprising how many are not protected by this right.
Ep. 4: On Depression (1992-03-16)

"I'm depressed." How many times do we hear those words? There are lots of reasons for young people to get depressed - to feel overwhelmed with apathy in a society that is filled with environmental destruction, peer pressure and alienation.
Ep. 5: On Drugs (1992-03-23)

Long-haired, uneducated delinquent. A typical drug user? Wrong. The star football player, the babysitter, your best friend. There are no stereotypes in the world of teen drug use and abuse.
Ep. 6: On Sexuality (1992-03-30)

Sexual awakening. The words sound so simple, yet the changes our bodies go through can lead to a powerful and confusing time for teenagers.
