And the name
of your last school.

It was a good school.

Liz...

Can I make a student
council announcement?

Can't you see I'm busy?

Are you going

Mom, everyone

We have been

Mr. Lawrence:
Is that clear,

Yes, sir.

It won't happen

Could you show her

Yeah, sure.

Joey jeremiah, chairman
of the welcoming committee

At your service.

This way.

You're lucky I was visiting
my good friend mr. Lawrence.

You're talking to the number one
cool dude here at degrassi.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Snake:
I can't believe simon
wants to play soccer

Instead of playing
with our band.

I didn't ask him
to join the band.

What do guys think
of that liz chick?

She's kind of weird.

Yeah, she never
talks to anyone.

She talks to me.

Of course,
I'm irresistible.

Yeah, to germs.

What a funny guy.

Do you think she does it?

She looks like
she does it.

What's a girl
who does it

Supposed to look like?

I don't know!

I heard stuff.

What stuff?

Stuff!

Guys--

Come back.

Do you guys ever think
about really having sex?

Well, a bit.

Yeah, me too--
sometimes.

You?

Oh, man-- all the time.

Joey, you are
sex-crazed.

You're sick.

No, I'm not.

You're
a pervert.

Mr. Lawrence:
Good morning, boys and girls.

This is your principal
mr. Lawrence speaking.

Next week is safety week.

Constable lawrence filey
of the metro police

Will speak in
the resource center

At lunchtime on Monday.

The subject will be

"street smarts--
what they mean to you."

Attendance is
highly recommended.

Hi, arthur.

I've been looking
for you.

I was here.

What's with the book?

Uh... Nothing.

What's with you lately?

Sit down.

I'm having these
weird dreams lately.

So?

I mean, really weird.

Kind of where you wake up
and you sort of... Leak.

You mean a wet dream.

Shhh.

Don't lots of
people get them?

Once a week?

Once a week?

I think I'm turning
into a sex maniac.

No!

This is your principal,
mr. Lawrence speaking.

Stephanie--
miss president?

Stephanie?

Yes, alex?

I've got some great
new fundraising ideas

For the student
council.

Good, alex.

But later, okay?--
I'm busy.

I just wanted
to show you...

Hi, spike.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm getting fat.

Really?

I can't tell.

I can.

Being pregnant
changes everything.

Yeah?

I thought you stopped
dressing like that.

I'm going to make simon
notice me if it kills me.

Does your mom know?

Are you kidding?

What are you staring at?

I love your hair.

You must tell me
who does it.

At least I don't get dressed
in the washroom

So mom doesn't know
how I dress at school.

Good comeback!

What a sleaze.

I bet she does it.

I mean, not like you--

You made a mistake,
right?

I heard something happened
where she used to live--

To do with sex.

How come people
who look different

Always have stories
made up about them?

I bet
it's true.

If you ask me

She dresses very... Provocative.

Choose from these subjects.

The results of your research
are due tomorrow.

It won't be that hard.

You have two classes today.

You're going to be
working in pairs.

This is an exercise
in cooperation.

You'll be marked
not only on your research

But also on how well
you work together.

Class dismissed.

So-- tell us
your plans.

Wait and see.

This is going
to be good.

Joey-- want
to go partners?

...Only soft-soled shoes
are allowed in the gymnasium...

Hi.

Hi.

So, you want
to be partners?

Sure.

Yeah?

Great.

We'll meet
after lunch.

Okay.

All right.

All right!

Stephanie:
I hope this works.

Don't worry, I saw it
in the movies.

Stephanie--

Later, alex, please.

How about
an art show?

A what?

We'll put up
kids' pictures

And charge people
to look.

Parents are suckers
for that kind of stuff.

Beat it, alex.

Hey-- I'm
school treasurer.

I've got lots
of ideas

For fundraising.

Whoops.

Alex:
A car wash, for instance.

We'd make a bundle.

It's a great idea

And I've done it before.

This is what
we should be doing.

It will work.

I'd handle the posters.

And the advertising.

I'm good at marketing.

What did I do?

Arthur, relax.

Maybe it's normal to have
a lot of wet dreams.

What?

I said, relax--

Maybe wet dreams
are normal.

Shhh!

How many have you had?

None.

I wish I had somebody
to talk to about this.

What about your dad?

I can't-- he'd think
I'm a pervert.

Is it okay
if I sit here?

It's a free country.

How do you like
degrassi so far?

Kids here are so snobby,
I can't believe it.

They're okay once
you get to know them.

Maybe.

Are you, um...

Really...?

Pregnant? Yeah.

Dumb, right?

I'm never going
to get pregnant.

Maybe someday
you'll want to.

Never.

So-- where did
you live before?

Linden.

I had tons of friends there.

No one cared
how you dressed
or how you acted.

As soon as I'm 16
I'm moving back.

I bet you'll
like it here by then.

I doubt it.

Yeah!

Wheels!

Take it easy!

Snake:
Yeah, not so fast!

Joey:
You guys are
so boring.

I guess
that's why

I'm going to make it with liz.

For me, sex is no big deal.

Chicks are like aspirin--
I take two and go to bed.

Right, joey.

Snake:
Joey jeremiah

Mr. All-time loser with girls.

That's not true.

You're such a liar.

I can
see it.

Liz invites you
over to her house

Her parents are out.

She leans over
and joey screams

"no, no, I'm a virgin!"

Ha, ha, mr. Jokes.

Joey, with girls,
you're all talk and no action.

Hey, not so fast!

The average
menstrual cycle is 28 days

But it can vary
from 20 to 35 days.

And it can really vary
when you're still growing.

Melanie, where do you
get this stuff?

Dr. Sally, of course.

Who's dr. Sally?

She's got a radio
phone-in show for teens--

"talking sex with sally."

Sounds
disgusting.

It's great
for finding out
stuff about sex.

When is it on?

Can anyone call?

It's on
tonight

And yeah, anyone
can call-- why?

Do you have a sexual
problem, yick?

No way--

It's just
a friend.

That's what
they all say.

Yeah, yick--
got a problem?

You know, I don't know
about this war of 1812.

I still can't
figure out who won.

I really like your hair.

Joey...

Shhh!

Did I ever tell you
how much I liked your hair?

Joey, come on.

But I'm dazzled
by your beauty!

Stop it.

No, I'm serious.

Joey.

We didn't
get a lot done.

Do you want to meet here
after school?

We can't-- the school
closes at four.

How can we get
this finished?

We can't go to my place.

My grandparents
are visiting.

We can go
to my place.

Really?

Yeah, my mom works
evenings.

Okay, sure.

Okay.

All right!

What?

Nothing.

Your house?

Sounds good to me.

Bye.

Hey, guys-- am I
a dude or what?

What?
What?

I just got invited over
to liz's after school

To study.

And you guys thought
I was all talk.

Joey jeremiah, super stud--

At her
service.

All right!
All right!

I don't want
to call dr. Sally.

But she's only on
once a week.

I'll call next week.

Don't be so chicken.

You want
to find out.

Okay, but we call
from your place.

I don't want
my dad to hear.

Well, I guess
we can't call then.

Broom head.

Come on,
I've got an idea...

I'm just going to ask him
if he wants to go out.

What if he says no?

Heather.

What if he just
really likes alexa?

Here
he comes.

Hi, simon.

How are you?

Fine.

I was wondering...

Hey, simon--

Game starts
in ten minutes.

Oh--
sorry, steph.

I'll talk to you
tomorrow.

Bye.

Mr. Lawrence:
And remember: If you can't
play a sport, be one.

I'll go to the library.

I'll look for
books at my place.

Here's the address.

We just moved in.

Okay, I'll see
you later.

I have some
stuff to do.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Spike!

What do you think
of joey?

He can be a jerk,
but he's okay.

Yeah?

I think he's kind of funny

And sort of nice, too.

Spike-- I like him,
I think.

Wheels--
wait up, man.

Aren't you
going to liz's?

I am, I am.

Remember those condoms
you bought last term?

Of course.

Do you still
got them?

We used them all
for water bombs.

Oh, yeah.

Do you want to come
buy some with me?

Uh... I have to study.

Hey, wheels--

When you and steph were
almost going to do it

Were you
a little nervous?

I was a lot nervous.

I don't want to mess up.

Maybe you shouldn't
do this.

I've got to.

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

I'm 14--

I haven't even
had a real date yet.

What if she doesn't
want to?

The way she dresses?

The way she laughs
at my jokes?

She likes me.

She invited me over.

It's pretty obvious.

Is it, joey?

Are you sure you can't
come buy some condoms?

Mother:
Hi, honey,
how was school?

Fine.

Boring.

This guy's coming over later.

We're working
on a project.

You know I don't like
boys here when I'm not around.

Mom, it's okay,
he's nice, really.

But, honey...

Mom, you've got
to trust me.

Anyway--

It's hard making friends
at that dorky school.

Well, I'm glad you're starting
to make some friends, at least.

You sure everything
will be all right?

Yes, mom.

Dr. Sally:
Sex is a serious decision.

Please, don't ever let sex
just happen.

There's lots of time to get
into sexual intercourse.

They say that on the radio?

She is a...

Come on, phone her.

Okay, george...

She's talking to somebody.

They have lots of lines.

Go on, call.

...Does not indicate that
she is an "easy lay."

She can be anywhere
from punk to preppie.

Hi.

Hi.

Come in.

Right.

Um... Do you want
a drink?

A drink?

Yeah, like a soda.

Oh, right.

Sure.

Nice place you got here.

...Necessarily better.

You ask.

No way,
it's your question.

You'll do fine...

What if somebody
recognizes my voice?

Like melanie and them--

They listen
to the show.

Hi, this is the sex show.

I'm on, I'm on!

Hello?

Do you have a question?

Hello?

My 12-year-old friend
has wet dreams.

Is he
a pervert?

I'm not a pervert.

You're a chicken.

You're a broom head.
He's not a pervert.

Look who's talking.

Oh, yeah.

Wet dreams are very common
for young guys.

It's one of the first
indications of puberty.

So tell your friend
he's perfectly okay.

He's not a pervert.

Wet dreams are the body's way
of relieving sexual tension

And sexual pressure.

The canadians-- british--
burned down washington

So the americans
burned down toronto

Which was then
called york.

There were all these battles
and lots of people killed

And at the end the border
still stayed the same

And nothing was
really different.

This is totally dumb.

Don't you think?

Joey,
what is it?

Liz...

Do you want to do it?

Do what?

Sex.

I want it.

You want it.

Let's do it.

Joey.

Come on, liz-- please?

I really want to.

Joey,
I trusted you.

I thought you were
different.

Come on, liz.

Guys always
think about sex.

Look, I just thought...

Don't even try.

Don't you touch me,
joey.

Don't you ever
touch me.

Just get out of my house.

Joey, I hate you!

I'm sorry.

Get out of my house, joey.

Don't ever talk to me
again, joey.

I'm sorry!

Jerk.

Joey-- how did it go?

I really messed up.

What happened?

She didn't want to do anything.

Is she mad?

Yeah.

She'll get over it
eventually.

No, I don't think so.

She's really mad.

Wheels, you know
what's the worst?

What?

I really like her.
