i know that many people love this show, but the fact that it contained no real plot (at least i couldn't see any) and that it's just telling the daily life of a bunch of teenagers and their problems with drugs and sex, is exactly what made me feel that watching this show was a waste of time. i mean, if the goal was to show the problems that teenagers go through, then they've succeeded in this goal, but that is something that documentaries and reality shows can do. in the end, the show doesn't even propose a solution, it's just showing reality as it is, which is something that many people would really appreciate, but sadly I'm not one of these people.
