For those who have said that this is an unrealistic depiction of teenage life, you are wrong. Most of these things that are being shown to us in this show do and have happened to not only myself but many people I know. This show is amazing. It accurately depicts what some of our lives were like as teenagers in the current world. I was only a teenager in high school a few years ago! Just because you have not been exposed to it does not mean that these things do not exist!!!! I just want to give a big applaud to the show writers and producers because they couldn’t have done a better job. I watch other shows and movies where the teen life is so exaggerated, but this—this is not. It is gruesome and it is hard to watch but it is truth. We should not shield people from the truths of the world. We should let them see it and what it can really be like. I truly love this show!
