NFB film description:
This funny, fast-paced video series for teens addresses the issues of self-acceptance, puberty and healthy eating. Videos are also available individually.
Titles include:
- The Pressure Zone
Powerful media messages that tell teenagers how they should feel about themselves and their bodies are a booming business. The teens in this video must choose between competing visions - until they decide that it's best to accept themselves as they are.
- The "P" Syndrome
An irreverent look at how the outcome of puberty is mediated by genes and food choices.
- What's Eating You?
Teenagers have the highest energy needs of any age group - along with an amazing appetite for junk food. Join a pair of typical teens as they learn that there are really no good or bad foods.
