Following the death of her mother, Izzie begins to live by her mother's clearcut rules for life. Life is generally good for Izzie because she has an amicable relationship with her father, has a kind and reliable boyfriend and is pleased that her brother has overcome his drug addiction.

Apples and Oranges
This video is set in a classroom where students are engaged in an exercise about bullying, stereotypes and the harmful effects that language can have on people. The students create pictures that portray sensitive situations, such as a young girl who has two moms and two boys whose friendship comes to a halt when one boy learns that the other is gay. The students' representations and stories are brought to life through animation. The program dispels myths about gays and lesbians, challenges homophobia and focuses on respect and acceptance.
