Youth with Impulse-Control Disorders: On the Spur of the Moment

Vanna is the girl everyone at Shore View High envies, but she has a shameful secret: she can't stop shoplifting. When Vanna discovers another student's secret, one that could cause harm to her classmates, she has to make a painful decision: will she sacrifice her reputation to reveal the truth? Meanwhile, Kyle has his own dangerous secret: he likes fires - too much!Both Vanna and Kyle have impulse-control disorders. When people have one of these disorders, many of the impulses they might normally be able to control become so strong that they may seem irresistible. Often, this is because of neurological or chemical abnormalities in the brain; for these people, their urges truly are irresistible, and these urges happen to them frequently, not just occasionally. They're not "bad" people - but their impulses can get them into big trouble!
