This well-produced program presents a practical, real-life look at high school dating, covering such topics as the basis for a healthy relationship, boundaries related to sex, the importance of communication and trust, dealing with jealousy, and the emotional difficulties of breaking up. Interviews with a variety of teens are intercut with comments from a health/sex education professional, who offers relevant explanations and advice. Teen dating is portrayed here as an overall beneficial experience that provides an opportunity to develop skills necessary for positive interactions with others (although the program also acknowledges that many high school students won't be ready for or want to date until later, for various reasons). Bundled with a comprehensive teacher's guide and curriculum, this is recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (E. Gieschen)
