MY SO-CALLED LIFE: PRESSURE (TV)
Summary
One in this series of dramas about the life of Angela Chase, an angst-ridden fifteen-year-old girl, and her family and friends. In this episode, Angela contemplates having sex with her boyfriend, Jordan. Angela and Jordan make a date to meet at an abandoned house that is often frequented by teenagers in need of a place to have sex. But after agreeing to meet him there, she reconsiders. Seeking advice, Angela talks with her strait-laced friend Sharon, and she is surprised to learn that Sharon is not a virgin. Friday night arrives and Angela finds herself in the vacant house contemplating her virginity in a room full of sexually active teenagers waiting for their turn in one of the bedrooms. Confused, Angela decides to create an excuse so that she can avoid confronting the issue. The next day, Rayanne and Sharon discuss Angela's apprehensions about sex: Sharon persuades Angela to talk about her feelings by bringing an explicit video over to her house. Meanwhile, Angela's father, Graham considers opening a new restaurant with one of his students, and her mother, Patti, discovers a mysterious video in their VCR. Commercials deleted.
