Confidential

As many as one fifth of all students gets picked on and pushed around on a daily basis because they are different, strange or just vulnerable in some way. To these outsiders - kids that just don´t fit in, going to school can be a nightmare that scars them for the rest of their lives. Hostess O´Ryan McKinney reviews some of the teen horror stories of both having emotional complications and being on the receiving end of school bullies, verbal cruelty, physical violence, relentless teasing, depression, psychological scars and the pain that never goes away.

Confidential is a documentary series that features first person testimonials of young people speaking out on urgent youth issues like eating disorders, violence in schools and drug abuse. The show is executive produced by Kristen Schultz, a Peabody Award-winning documentary film and news producer who has dedicated her professional career to creating provocative programming for young people on issues such as homelessness, HIV, and teens on death row. Medical and psychological experts also share wisdom and provide resources for the audience. Confidential is about listening to real people talk about their real lives and important problems. It´s not about preaching to an audience, but rather educating through a compelling program that would be beneficial for all to watch.
