What Parents Need to Know
About Beyond the Break
Parents need to know that characters spend most of each episode in their swimsuits. The female lead characters (17 and under) live with an older, attractive male surf coach in a house, without any parents. One teen runs away from home and has an alcoholic mother and an abusive father-figure. She also has a criminal history for stealing and drinks herself unconscious. Teens manipulate others to get what they want. Some of the girls are assertive, which may be perceived as using their sexuality to influence others -- which also happens. A threesome is implied, and there is some kissing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about focusing on goals and going after what you want. How far would teens' parents be willing to let them go to achieve their goal in sports, education, or a future career? Do kids think the series' set-up is realistic? Would real teens be this wild/mature/focused if they were given this kind of responsibility and freedom?

Make a Sex Tape and You Too can Be Hired for a Kids Show!
Beyond the Break just signed Kim Kardashian to appear on their show. She is the latest to appear in a raunchy sex tape. She's half-heartedly protesting, so it seems to be clearly a publicity ploy. This is a really bad message to send to our kids. That woman shouldn't go near a kids' show with a 10-ft. pole. Let her get a job with Playboy.

I like the way it's going.
The beginning of Beyond the Break was a little unrealistic.. but I think this is going to be a great show. It is just beginning so for the people that don't really enjoy it or whatever give it some time. This show talks about some things that could happen in a way and when it does get kinda, unrealistic, that's pretty much some of the fun in things. For me, I'm 13 almost 14 years old.. and watching this doesn't really seem like a problem to me. If it does for you then just don't watch it. GREAT SHOW, I think anyway.
