//Right. So... We don't have much of a discussion prepared for today,// Jono admitted, looking a touch sheepish. //This semester apparently hasn't been much good for that. But we haven't cashed in our 'movie day' get out of jail free card yet, either, so I found an old episode of the Y-People cartoon to show, and then we can discuss it afterward. How you felt about the situation of the young girl, your opinion on the animation, whatever you wish. It's topical, at least.//

He shrugged his shoulders, and then slid a Y-People VHS into an old VCR, because that was just how the 90s rolled, okay?

Yeah, the whole episode isn't long enough to take up the entire class period, so now it's discussion time. How did it make you feel? Can you relate? Did you think it was realistic or unreasonable somehow? What would you do if you were in that girl's shoes?

"It seemed a little one-sided," Raven said. "We don't really get any idea of her mom's motivations at all. And how's she supposed to know what's wrong with that poor girl if she doesn't tell her? I think the girl's just looking for someone to kiss it and make it all better, instead of dealing with things herself."

Also, that bald guy was creepy. What was up with his eyebrows?
