Synopsis by Sarah Sloboda
The Canadian television series Degrassi High has been praised regarding the extent to which it deals realistically with the issues of adolescence. A continuation of Kids of Degrassi Street and then Degrassi Junior High, the program became popular for its upfront presentation of emotional issues before the 90210 trend began. In this episode, the girls volleyball team begins a protest against having to shorten their practices to clear the gym for the boys' basketball team, but when Lucy joins the protest, her date for the dance cancels their plans.
