Secrets and dangers. World of today's teens

Description

How have mixed cultural signals and online social interaction impacted the average teenager's behavior? Is reducing violence, drug abuse, and dangerous sex a lost cause? This ABC News program examines those questions, presenting three eye-opening stories of teen life. First, a small Michigan town recoils from a school-hall stabbing, highlighting an alarming rise in abusive teenage relationships. In the second segment, 14 girls from around the country attend a New York-area slumber party, discussing their personal lives and the confusing world of teen sexuality today. Finally, viewers get an in-depth look at MySpace.com-the hugely popular Internet meeting place that can spell trouble for misguided teens.
