High School Confidential

On the eve of Juno, WE tries to shock us with horror-REAL-LIFE-high-school stories, documented by single mother and corporate marketer Sharon Liese.

Among the usual OMG!/WTF!-yes-high-schoolers-do-give-blow-jobs banter, there are some less titillating and more REAL moments: brain tumors, abortion, and what I can only think to call "underage marriage" to a young man in the military. Unlike the string of MTV shows along the the same line - Made, True Life, and Engaged and Underage - Liese's film lacks the underlying sense of fame - these girls are not cooperating with an MTV contract. They are drinking, having sex, experiencing self-doubt and depression - basically, they are going to high school and doing what they do.

    I saw the premiere episode and loved it. Cappie was totally breaking my heart with all the partying, though.
