The Pressure Zone is a hilarious send-up of the forces that try to shape adolescent minds and bodies. Two mirrors--one promoting the perfect body through a merciless regime of muscle building and dieting, the other through tapping into the "essential essence" via meditation and herbal remedies--vie for loyal customers. As each advertises their vision as the right way, the teens are prodded, taunted and provoked into submission by making them believe that their bodies need improvement, but then the teenagers take control back from the mirrors and accept themselves from the inside out.
Beauty Begins Inside is a lively and offbeat three-part video series designed to help ’90s teens build healthier relationships with food, their bodies and themselves.

The P Syndrome dives into the prickly realities of puberty and the choices that come with growing up. What’s Eating You? serves up a zany look at healthy eating, mixing humour with helpful tips. Together, these episodes empower teens to tune out the pressure and tune into what really matters: feeling good from the inside out.
