Caitlin: How's the baby?

Fine. I like your hair!

It's just hairspray.

My mom doesn't know about it yet.

Next do it like mine or liz's.

I don't think she's ready!

Hi, doris.

Nancy asked me to give you this announcement.

Man: A pregnant student in school sets a bad example.

Mr. Lawrence: You can express those opinions

At Tuesday's meeting.

Thank you.

That girl is not staying at degrassi.

She's going to be out of this school.

They're talking about spike.

? wake up in the morning, feeling shy and lonely ?

? gee, I got to go to school ?

? I don't think I can make it, don't think I can take it ?

? I'm wondering what I'm going to do ?

? but when I look around, I see ?

? that someone is smiling right at me ?

? wait! ?

? that someone's talking to me ?

? hey! I've got a new friend. ?

? everybody can succeed ?

? all you need is to believe ?

? be honest with yourself ?

? forget your fears and doubts ?

? come on, give us a try ?

? at degrassi junior high. ?

Ms. Avery: Think how this nation's borders evolved.

We'll be coloring in maps tomorrow

So don't forget to bring your pencils.

They want to throw spike out of school?

Yes.

They say letting her stay

Is like saying it's okay to be irresponsible.

She makes me not want to get pregnant.

Right.

Hey, caitlin, don't forget the digest meeting.

I won't.

Remember, tomorrow is the deadline

And it has to be 200 words.

Right.

Good old nancy.

She doesn't care what the words say

As long as there's 200 of them.

Wait till next year.

I'll be school president.

I'll be editor of the degrassi digest.

We'll run this place.

All right!

Girl: You're so narrow-minded.

I am not!

It's just I agree with them.

Spike sets a bad example.

She shouldn't stay here with normal kids.

There's kathleen again.

The scary part is some people agree with her.

I have to wash my hair out.

See you.

Spike: I want to stay here.

All my friends are here.

Well... They can't make you leave school

Until you're at least 16.

They can make me leave this school.

What does your mom say?

She says she'll fight

But she's only one person.

Not all the parents

Want you to leave.

But a lot of them do.

I made a mistake and I'm paying for it.

How much longer do I have to keep paying for it?

Why can't they leave me alone?

It's so unfair.

Hello, ladies!

Check this out.

"cindi, 21, likes all kinds of sports--

Indoors and out."

So do I!

Snake: "debbi, 23

Likes her men tall, blond and into music."

Here I am, debbie!

All their names end in "I".

Must be a qualification.

Do you think green looks good on me?

Everything looks good on you.

Don't be silly.

Lots of colors don't suit me.

Joey: Oh, look!

She's a ten.

I wish she went to degrassi.

The girls here are minus zeros.

You're disgusting!

Rating girls is sexist.

So are those pictures.

You're making

Women into sex objects!

So what's your point?

I'd love to be a sex object!

You wish!

They're so big!

They can't be real.

Alexa! Come on!

Chauvinists!

What? Us, chauvinists?

Why don't you mind your own business?

She just wishes she looked like these women.

Alexa: Did you see how big those were?

Alexa! I don't care about the boobs, okay?

What's the rush?

I'm telling lawrence.

That shouldn't be allowed.

L.D., they're only pictures.

No, it's how people look at women.

If we don't battle sexism, who will?

I'd like to do an article

On the cutest boys at degrassi.

Pretty short article.

Anyway, this is a newspaper.

You know, facts?

Okay.

Tim, I liked your article on quest for the best

But it was too short.

It needs 50 more words.

Sorry I'm late.

It's okay, if your article is on time.

It will be.

I'm going to do it on spike--

About being taken

Out of the school.

A good idea, but touchy.

So? It's about degrassi, and it's important.

Everyone butting in

And trying to run her life.

Okay.

It's time we talk about some real issues.

The press has a responsibility.

Get it in tomorrow morning

And make sure it's 200 words.

Doris: I really don't think mr. Lawrence

Can see you today.

He's very busy.

We'll wait!

Well, I'm going

And you can't stay!

Why not tell me what you want?

It's about these sunshine girls.

Joey has them in his locker.

Pin-ups aren't allowed.

Joey should be made to take them down.

I'll see that mr. Lawrence gets your message.

He'll handle it.

Let's go!

Smile!

Hey!

Doris doesn't do anything.

She said she'd tell lawrence.

When? Next week? Next month?

That was just an excuse to get rid of us.

So guys, what do you think?

Three.

Three point five?

No, I'd say four.

Wheels: Higher if her name ended in "I".

Me or l.D.?

Alexa! Don't listen to these pigs!

Oh, pigs.

Pigs?

That hurt.

Well, if the school won't do anything

I'll handle it myself.

It's time to fight fire with fire.

And you can help.

Me?

Hi, mom.

Hi, sweetheart.

Could you take the liver out?

It's just us tonight.

Your dad hates liver.

I hate liver.

What was that?

Nothing.

Mom, did you hear

About the p.T.A. Meeting tomorrow?

Yes.

Did you hear about the parents that want to expel spike?

Yes, I have.

You'll stick up for her, right?

I think she'd be a lot happier

Where there's other girls like her.

What?

She wouldn't look

So conspicuous.

Do you only care about how it looks?

Mom, everyone already knows.

It's not how it looks that's important

It's what's best

For christine.

She needs all the help and support she can get.

You're embarrassed.

Oh, caitlin.

You're trying to sweep it under the rug

Like it never happened.

Spike wants to stay at degrassi.

At least I'm going to stand up for her.

And I hate liver.

Wow! Aren't they great?!

My sister gave them to me.

You should keep them.

Are you kidding?

After I give joey a taste of his own medicine

You can have them back.

They're gross!

Here he comes!

Hey, joey?

Look at him.

Great pecs, eh?

Pecs?

Pectoral muscles

Dummy.

Yeah!

And look at him.

Amazing buns!

He's a ten,

Right, alexa?

Right!

I wonder what joey is.

I don't know.

I can't count

That low.

Do you think this bothers us?

Those pictures are ridiculous.

So are your pictures.

Ooooooo-- ridiculous!

These are my ladies-- ha.

Mr. Lawrence: Our thought for the day is

"freedom-- so simple to choose yet so easy to abuse."

Come on.

Okay, okay!

Joey: I don't believe that.

Can you believe that?

Here's my article.

I worked on it last night for hours.

I think it's really good.

How's it going?

Everything's ready

Except the crossword.

Trish is typing up the clues now.

We can't include this.

Why not?

It's well written, caitlin

But the press has a responsibility

To present a balanced picture.

But it's the truth.

It's your opinion.

Have you talked to christine?

Everyone knows she doesn't want to leave.

Maybe so, but the degrassi digest is

For the publishing of events, not to publish opinions.

Real papers have whole pages of opinions.

What about freedom of the press?

I appreciate what you're trying to do.

But as staff advisor

I can't allow this article

Particularly at this time.

This is censorship.

Ms. Avery: Please have these finished by this afternoon.

Thank you.

That is your best article ever.

What's the use?

First they want spike to disappear

Now they won't let us talk about it.

Too bad you can't do an underground newspaper.

What?

Friends of mine in high school

They started an underground newspaper.

Susie, that's a great idea.

No, it's not-- they got suspended.

I don't care if I get suspended.

People should read this before the p.T.A. Meeting

So they can straighten out their parents.

Where are you going?

We've got study period.

Someone's got to stand up for spike.

Cover for me.

So as we've been reading in st. Joan

George bernard shaw presents us

With a very obvious question.

Mr. Jeremiah, would you go with ms. Bell, please?

Yeah, sure.

What did I do this time?

I want you to open your locker please.

What? Why?

We've had a complaint

That you have pornography.

Pornography?

There's no...

L.D. Did this, right?

That's not the point.

Open!

This goes totally against the democratic system.

Joey... Joey!!

What's wrong?

Take these downstairs to mr. Lawrence's office.

Oh, man!

You should see l.D.'s locker.

I mean, talk about pornography...

I was really offended.

I'm serious.

And so, with all that we've said about st. Joan

We still have not resolved the obvious question.

I'd like to see lorraine now.

Lorraine? Would you go with ms. Bell?

Me?

Let's skip the question.

Oh, my.

I just got them

To get even with joey.

I'll take them down after school.

Take them down right now and bring them

To mr. Lawrence's office.

This is so unfair!

Thanks a lot, joey.

You started it.

Your pictures are degrading.

I didn't make you look.

They're sexist

So that makes them wrong.

Since when

Is what's in my private locker

Any of your business?

Susie!

What do you think?

Are you really going to do this?

Yes.

Here you go.

Get your copy here of the degrassi digest!

Free! The article that was banned by the school!

Read the truth about spike!

What the p.T.A. Intends to do!

Keep spike at degrassi!

What's this?

Read it before the p.T.A. Meeting.

Look, look...

This is really good.

Oh, brother.

As everyone knows, spike is going to have a baby.

The parents say

She should go away.

But spike has lots of friends here

And with all that she has to deal with

Why should she have to make new friends, too?

I think spike is brave for hiding nothing.

I don't see why the parents want to hide her.

Also, why do they blame her?

It was shane's fault, too.

Should he be sent away?

Of course not.

They should both stay.

Doris, we've missed lunch.

How much longer is this going to take?

As long as it takes!

Mr. Lawrence is very busy.

I wouldn't be in such a hurry if I were you.

Is he in?

Yes.

He should see this!

Mr. Lawrence: Ms. Avery, please send

Caitlin ryan to my office.

Ooooo...

Oh, yes, caitlin.

Have a seat.

L.D.: What are you doing here?

I guess it's because of the article I wrote.

What article?

I wrote an article for the degrassi digest

And it was banned.

I gave it out anyway.

Are you crazy?

Guaranteed trouble!

I don't care.

It's the principle.

I had to do what's right.

Some people care about principles.

Oh, yeah?

And what about the principle of privacy?

What are these for?

Please send caitlin in now.

Caitlin?

What about us?

We've been here longer.

All in good time.

Have a seat.

There she is.

What happened?

I got tons of detention.

And if I ever do this again

I get suspended.

Okay, let's get a little work done please.

Girl: Caitlin, that was such a good article!

Caitlin?

Courageous!

Thanks a lot.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know.

Are they calling your parents?

I hope not.

Good luck.

Way to go.

That was really good.

Great article, caitlin.

Thanks.

I really liked your article.

I'm glad someone brought it out.

Don't tell raditch I said so.

Susie: Caitlin

You're a hero!

Bye.

Caitlin!

Hi, spike.

Is this a joke?

What?

Who do you think you are?

Can't you just mind your own business?

I did it for you...

To fight for your rights.

Then how come you never talked to me?

This isn't what I want

It's what you want.

How do you know how I feel?

Do you think I like having everybody read about me?

You said you wanted to stay.

I do, but I don't need little miss perfect

To make me her cause of the week.

But it's the truth.

Caitlin, I'm a person, okay?

Not public property.

Joey ( quietly ): Oh, l.D., you're scaring me.

What are you going to do?

Tell mr. Lawrence on me?

I'm shaking, I'm shaking...

Joey!

So, what do you think?

Joey, those pictures are...

Dynamite!

There she is.

Snake: What's he going to do?

Hey, l.D.!

I got something to show you.

What?

My binder.

Cheri... Likes fast cars, fast men

And motorcycles.

You're such a child.

Hey...

I admire her for her mind.

Hey, alexa, I got

Something to show you...

I can't seem to do anything right.

That's not true.

It usually works out in the end.

I feel like such a jerk.

You were just trying to help.

Yes, as usual.

Poor spike.

Okay, thanks.

Hey, caitlin!

How was detention?

Fine.

What are you writing about next?

You mean you still want me to?

I thought they wouldn't let me.

You're our best writer.

But make it less

Controversial this time...

Yeah, okay.

I think I'll write about sexism.

Great.

Remember, 200 words.

Sexism?

Yes, l.D. Told me about the sunshine girls in joey's locker.

Those pictures are so dumb.

This time I'll do it right.

I'll be objective.

I'll interview l.D. And joey.

Creep.

Tonight is the p.T.A. Meeting.

I wonder what will happen to her.
