------------------------
Athena, 14, scared of her body, anorexic mainly, bulimic when she thinks she she needs to be.
Lexi, 16, scared of her parents, physically abusive father and emotionally abusive mother.
Phil, 15, scared of his sexuality, growing up gay in a homophobic household.

Miles, 13, scared of his born sex, birth name Allison, identifies as he/him.
Gabriella, 14, scared of her mind, diagnosed with depression.
This is the story of a child, born with both male and female genitalia, and raised as a boy for several practical reasons. As he grows into a young teen, keeping this secret from his brother and all of his friends, becomes increasingly difficult.
Knowing that he has genitalia of both sexes, he struggles with lots of what if's and why's, and he wonders if this life as a male is what he wants or would he rather live as a girl.
Add to his problems, the onset of puberty. Now a decision is needed before nature decides for him.
