One of my Favorite Shows

I love the show Degrassi!! I hear a lot of people saying how this show is fake and doesn't show what high school is really like and well they are right. It may not show the perfect high school but what goes on in the show can happen in any school. Here at TMA I can name a student and a character on Degrassi and show how they are alike (not throwing subs). Many of the situations that happened on the show happens in real life. Young girls getting pregnant, people receiving threats, friendships being broken, relationships becoming history; this list can go on. For those who don’t know this show takes place in Toronto, Canada so obviously it will be a bit different. Don’t judge things till you take the time to truly watch and observe something.

But anyway I need to talk about this episode.

So one of the characters, Alli, who is a smart black girl got accepted to Cambridge in England but her boyfriend doesn't want her to leave him. Cute right! So she takes the time to research a hockey program for him since he is the best and not he has nothing to worry about. Miles is this boy who out of nowhere turns gay and is going through family issues and decides to smoke weed. After he does he starts changing and skipping school and his boyfriend Tristan thinks he is addicted to weed and wants to help him but everyone knows Miles will hate anyone who tries to help him. Claire is one of the smartest girls in Degrassi and surprise she gets pregnant by an athlete and has to raise a baby yet still wants to go to Columbia University. She decides to keep the baby because she is a cancer survivor and doctors said with her situation she wouldn't be able to have a child so she believes this will be her only chance. Zoe is a girl who has been through a lot such as being a rape victim but I don’t like her because she is the person who thinks it’s all about her and if its not her way she will force it to be her way even if it’s wrong. So her and the young cheerleading squad (most of them are 9^th graders and she is a junior) decide to start this sex website where they take naked pics anonymously and people have to pay to see them (Zoe's idea). They made a lot of money but she is shutting it down because an outsider (outside the cheer squad) knows about it and is sending threats to her phone and the whole squad. Poor girls besides Zoe.

I did add some extra stuff that wasn't on the episode today (Claire) but yea as you can see I truly love Degrassi and after that little brief intro of the few characters I explained above I bet you can name someone that relates to almost all of them. This show has been on for 14 seasons and I truly love them all. If you want to watch it the new episodes it comes on Tuesdays @ 9 on TeenNick and we can talk about it together.

P.S. For those who don’t know Drake aka Jimmy was on seasons 1-8.(just wanted to add that)
