Lauren Conrad 'LC' proves that if you want something bad enough you can't just wait around for you've got to get up and chase it down until its all yours... Sometimes she lets her gaurd down with people too quickly but she has her life long friends to keep her grounded... I've been following this show for quite some time now and I want you to know it's a very moving experiance, ther's drama(like in everyday life), friendships being formed and lost, and of course more drama, but after all this time Lauren has taught me some very important thing to look forward to in life!

What Parents Need to Know
About The Hills
Parents need to know that this series follows Lauren Conrad (graduate of MTV's own Laguna Beach) as she transitions from her high school days to college life, an internship, and Hollywood nightlife. Cast members come from affluent families, which means that the characters' living conditions, cars, and lifestyles are unrealistic for average twentysomethings. The series makes getting a high-profile internship seem effortless. Lauren is a fairly level-headed girl, but she lets her new friends take advantage of her. The show's success has elevated the status of each cast member, and they're often featured in celeb tabloids.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what has helped Lauren get to where she is. Do teens consider her a role model? How hard do they think it would be to get a job like Lauren's? Why do you think MTV was interested in continuing to follow Lauren over other Laguna Beach cast members? Are there any role models on the show?

"Lo" must go and never ever come back!
The show is HORRIBLE!! I do not blame Audrina for wanting to move out. Her roomates have totally turned their backs on her. (including "LC") And then in the last episode Lauren cries, poor me. What an act! Lauren has sunk lower the Heidi. Audrina was LC's roommate first, treat her with a little more respect. Your adults not high schoolers.

Fun For Teenage Girls
The show is relatively harmless, and is a nice "escape" for teenage girls. The girls are ditzy sometimes, but there are life lessons embedded in the show. I think the show is funny and fun for girls to watch. I don't think it's very realistic, but why not take a break from life for an hour every week? It's a harmless show that provides entertainment for many a teenage girl.

good entertaining show!
The hills is a very good show! It shows real-life situations and I think younger people can learn from them. It is about a very successful college gal, Lauren Conrad going through many obstacles to try and overcome relationships, hook-ups, friendships, and her job itself. She is just a small girl trying to live in this big world.
