The heart of Straightlaced is candid interviews with more than 50 teens from diverse backgrounds.With a fearless look at a highly charged subject, Straightlaced unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens.
From girls confronting media messages about culture and body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they arent gay, this fascinating array of students opens up with brave, intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all our lives.
