 TEENS TALK ABOUT SEX (Video Script)

Adam: The things that worry me: school grades.

What's hard about high school is they're getting harder on you because you need to go to
college.

Henry: Some of the stress I feel in my life is… Maybe comes from school or my parents. I get
into few arguments with my parents.
Music does help me with my stress.

Greg: School is pretty stressful. Tests and quizzes and homework and studying and all this and
all that.
Playing the drums is a huge escape, it gets a lot of anger out and it's physically exercising. It's
just really fun you get to hit things and make loud noises.

Sharon: Mainly I worry about my grades. I don't really like having bad grades like if I got a C or
a D that really upsets me.
I like to be by myself when I'm upset.

Patrick: There's definitely some pressure and stress in my life with trying to balance so many
different activities and the academics and everything.
So, really trying to find those times where I can just take a little step back from all the pressure
and the stress that that really helps and so I try to do that as much as possible

Stephanie: Senior year, I mean, a giant pool of stress because I have to figure out everything
that's going to happen next year, moving on in my life and kind of sometimes I just need to step
back from it and you know sit down and think to myself okay. It's all going to happen. It's going
to be okay.
