When you hear St Louis secondary school, all you think of is money and pretty students, what else?
But behind the gates of St Louis lies the stories of young teens.
Think of Yobanna, popular teen model, perfect face, perfect circle but a not so perfect family.
Think of the girl he falls for, Selena, timid and at the other end of his kind of life. In a game of class and hierarchy, Selena would be found no where on the chart.
Throw in Cynthia, the insecure bully who never meets up with her siblings standard, then Ken, Kim, Precious,Zion... And it's a total rollercoaster.
No matter how we looked at it and how we see things, people defer a lot and only show what the world wants to see and tuck things that they consider shameful away in a dark room.
Being teen was hectic and then throw in a lot of family drama,
unrequited crushes, fame and then you have a lot of stories to tell.
Perspectives tells you the stories of teens trying not to drown in it all. Stories from everyone's point of view.
