What Season 1 of Skins

Skins follows a group of teenagers from Bristol who begin to glimpse the adult world, while the older people around them don't know how to solve their problems.

His best friend, Sid, is weighed down by academic failure and constant sexual frustration. Cassie hides the eating disorder she is struggling with from her parents, Jal battles the lack of communication with his father, and Chris is left with a considerable sum of money after his mother leaves. Maxxie and Anwar put the limits of their friendship to the test, and Michelle faces problems at home with her stepfather.
