About This Book
When abusive behaviour surfaces in the lives of four friends, the teenagers are forced to examine how learned behaviour can be mirrored by victims and home situations reflected in the school until, finally, the choice to break the damaging cycles is made.
In this powerful and moving play which speaks honestly and intelligently to teens, Dennis Foon examines the cyclical nature of physical and psychological abuse.

(The lights come up on BOB, who is looking at himself in the mirror. He speaks to the audience.)
BOB: Well, here we go. Another one. I hate zits. I hate them! But they like me, they keep coming back. At least somebody likes you, Bob. The reason I have so many zits is ācause my headās too big. So much skin, they canāt resist it. Oh, God, look at this one. I gotta squeeze it, gotta squeeze itāno stop! Donāt, itāll just get huge and red and infected and ooze yellow pusāIām gonna cut my fingers off! Itās the only way not to squeeeeeze.

DAD: Bobby!

Bobby, have you seen the TV guide?
MOM: Your stupid TV guideās on top of your stupid TV!
(BOB listens. Pause. BOB exhales.)
BOB: Most people I know donāt have these problems. Take my friend Maggie, for example. Her life is perfect.
(Lights on MAGGIE, who drags herself out of bed.)
She has all this energy, practically runs the school, gets all Aās and sheās in incredible physical condition.
(MAGGIE steps on the scale, sees the weight and grimaces.)
Itās because of her completely positive attitude, I guess.
(MAGGIE steps off the scale, removes her slippers, steps back on the scale, looks hopefully at the result.)
