Boring Show with Interesting Topics
Very boring show. Depicts real-life situations with bad acting so it feels unrealistic. Not "Degrassi style" at all. When I watched Degrassi it felt real. If you do watch this show, they're some topics to talk about in this show. Sam's roomate makes some sort of sex tape (it isn't really shown.) Then when her boyfriend sexually assaults her she isn't believed. The female African-American believed she's the best and acted like a diva during the school play. These 2 characters would be great for parents to discuss w/ their kids. In the end they both realize the error of their ways. Sam's biological mom would also be a point of interest. She told Sam she had a good life now and didn't want her disrupting it. That seems quite heartless and parents can discuss adoption w/ their kids and what they thought of Sam's birth mom's reaction to her arrival.

The best show EVER
I seriously am in love with devin. Sam was stupid to dump him. Lol. This is a good show for any teen from 12-15 or higher. I love all the shows on the-n, and even have an account on the-n*
