Synopsis

Any self-respecting teenager has to have at least five angst-ridden issues in life. Okay, some really cool ones may have three. Take parents, teachers, schools, exams, weight, friends, enemies; then there s the mess that groan-ups have made of the world. Like all the wars they fight. And they ve used up the water, the air, the forests as though there were no generation after them.
