It's safe to say that dating, sex, and socializing preoccupy most teenagers -- but how often do young people really benefit from and participate in their relationships? This video enables students to see teen romance in a clear light -- exploring love, sex, friendship, and how easily all three can get mixed up. With candid discussions about jealousy, trust, peer pressure, and effective communication, the program focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of teenage sex and romance, as well as the best ways to cope with rejection and break-ups. Viewers also delve into "cyber relationships," both friendly and romantic-examining what is gained and lost when technology mediates human connections.
