Plot
The plot of "Everybody's Doing It" revolves around two high school buddies: Mark, an ignorant and optimistic teen, and Angela, a more realistic and negative character.

Sex Cops' approach to sex education is through interactive and enjoyable video games that simulate life-and-death scenarios where students must answer sexual health questions to make it through. In theory, this seems to be a practical and successful technique to the often taboo topic. Nevertheless, in practice, it ends up being quite various.

The implementation of the brand-new curriculum triggers students to misunderstand that "everyone's doing it", enabling a basic sense of pressure amongst them to lose their virginity.

In the middle of following the program, Mark's interests gravitate towards a cheerleader, who misinterprets the program's prejudice similar to lots of other trainees do.
