    Gripping and touching teen drama.

    Originally an afterschool special, this one has a high school teen doing a story on teens with AIDS..at first she is scared of the group and has all the predictable emotions...after getting to know them however she realizes that they are all just like her, young kids except that they have a terminal disease...Later on however, she discovers that they have more in common. A great movie for the teen and the adult to watch together and talk about. Very well done with good acting and a excellent script. If you can find it definitely watch it. 9 of 10

    Oooo

    Hello, does anyone know where I can buy this? I still remember this movie from high school! And I would love to see it again. One of my favorite songs was in it! I know the ending, but won't spoil it for anyone who wants to see it. Or remembers it like I do. It was one of those valuable lesson films that stuck with me through the years. I told a friend about it like I was telling a story about caution. She was intrigued and was shocked. "You had something to hide, you should've hidden it shouldn't you. Now you're not satisfied, with everything that you've been through. It's just time to pay the.
