superb acting, a must see for all teens!, 4 June 1999
10/10
Author: regina janicki (reginaed@worldnet.att.net) from united states

This movie was superbly acted, and must be seen by teens today. In these times, life threatening diseases are a reality, teens need to see and understand that drugs do not only diminish your self respect, but your physical and mental self as well.
