It's May 1991, and Sassy knows exactly what your mom wants most for Mother's Day: you following her around the house quoting statistics about how bad school sucks in this country! When she tells you to give it a rest, you can learn about Kim Frey, a young woman living with HIV, or why you should consider making friends with boys. (It's not because they have amazing answers to the What He Said question about what they'd do if they were invisible, that's for sure.) Also: hay fever, plants, vitamins, deodorant, and more than you ever wanted to know about breast discharge! You're welcome!!!
