...about it. They need to make informed choices about sex, and to that end they should be made aware of the risks and the consequences. I didn’t quickly forget what certain STDs looked like in my safe sex class in school and do not take senseless risks as a result.

And teen tomboy Agnes, who spends her evenings wading the shallows for catfish after her drunken father is laid off from the local meatworks (Cockleshell). But most of all there's policeman's son Vic, who helps...
