All teen dramas these days seem to have more sex, drinking, drugs etc. than in the 80s and 90s. Yes, this show carries those same themes but I wouldn't place it in the category of Gossip Girl or 90210. Yes, teens have sex, but they seriously regret it, and a pseudo mom steps in to discuss her sexual indiscretions at a young age with the young girl- Candace Cameron. Her description brought me to tears and I can't imagine a teenage girl not getting the message. Yes, teens drink. But one has a serious hangover, and they ALL get in serious trouble the next day by there coach. I think one great thing about this show is that it shows teen girls 'into' something other than boys and parties. It shows them as strong young women who make mistakes, have flaws, and have low self esteem sometimes. Yet they all have drive to make something of themselves- something other than being prom queen. I give this teen show high marks because it has enough gritt to make it believable and create drama for teens but it also throws in good values. I'm not sure if many of you know much about Candace Cameron these days but she takes her Christian faith seriously and wouldn't take part in a show that didn't ultimately teach good family values. It takes kids making mistakes to teach valuable life lessons and I think this makes the show great.

I watched the show two times, and decided it's dealing with things that I choose not to let my teenage girl watch. I really thought the show was going to good,but dissappointed when they went to a drinking party and the one girl slept with the other girls boyfriend.

I'm so bummed. My 8 year old and 5 year old REALLY like the show. We are going to stop watching after last nights episode. Could they have talked about sex and virginity more? We kept fast-forwarding through inappropriate parts and missed so much, we finally turned it off. I'd say my mistake; however, I don't think the marketing plan was clear on who they were aiming this toward. The commercials showed a nice, fun summer show the whole family could enjoy. That is not the case.

The show has continued to spiral downward as one competitor sleeps with another girl's boyfriend. The talk of sex is shallow and does not take into account all that the competitors give up with such casual sexual behavior. It is a shame, the show has such potential to be a winner.

Positive role models in the way the girls are so dedicated to gymnastics and support each other. One girl has to work and fit in school/gymnastics. The antagonist on the show is a typical "little rich girl" whose dad pays her way...

I was stunned to watch this with my 13 year old and hear the words "ass" used several times in the first few minutes of the pilot. I naively assumed that ABC Family was appropriate viewing for families ... I'm glad I didn't invite our 5 year old to join us! I was uncomfortable even with the commercials; they were for other ABCFam series that seemed even less appropriate. I thought long and hard about continuing our viewing. Since then, we've watched two more episodes together, and I was definitely upset when last week's show had the main characters attending a keg party, and one having had sex (not shown, but implied visually -- I asked my daughter what she thought had happened, and she agreed). I was disappointed that the characters seem to have so little backbone, values or, well, character. I'd love to see them debating the choices, rather than just trouping off merrily (even the likeable "underdog") to participate in underage drinking, as if it doesn't even merit discussion or consideration. It has ended up being a great way for my daughter and I to discuss a lot of the topics I think are so important (drinking, sex, lying, friendship, dating) but I've been kicking myself for assuming that shows on a "family" channel would be appropriate for a 13 year old.

Boy zips pants and puts on a shirt after making out with a girl who is not his girlfriend. A boy is staggering drunk and a girl is passed out drunk after drinking out of a plastic cup at a party of beautiful teens. Evidence shows that kids who view sexual themes and alcohol used in risk-free enjoyable ways are more likely to try out these behaviors. If the real-life consequences of these characters' actions are coming in a later episodes, the massage is lost on tween audiences.

Payson and Emily are great role models they are both the most determined. Lauren is sometimes manipulative and out of jealously has sex with Kaylie's boyfriend, Carter. There are some swears: a--,b---- h---, and also some talk about sex. There is also alot of drama in this show, but I love this show.. I can't wait for it's return in January.

all i can say is i watch it every monday and it is AWESOME

Dont get me wrong, this is an awesome show and I tune in every week. The language is strong for abc family and one of the main characters has sex with one of her best friend's boyfriend.And in one of the early episodes there is profuse underage drinking at a kegger party. But payson and Emily are great role models. Especially payson because she is so dedicated to gymnastics and helps keep her friends in line. great show

thiz iz a real true book if u cant make it just break it!!!!

abc family is about the family any more. after their major hit 'secret life' they have created shows like that with a twist. make it of brake it is a good show. you need to know that some of what goes on in it should not be repeated.

I love this series! I have been watching it since it premiered and it rocks! One of the girls trys to get whatever she wants no matter what the cost though. Although girls do stand up for themselves, there is lying most likely involved. Great show for teens.

Payson, the best gymnast, and also the best role model on the show, really thaches us that we should work hard to acheve our dreams, like she does by training for the olympics, but it also teaches us about normal problems and good ways to solve them.

I think one of the most positive messages in this is to never give up your dream. I will say that their is some kissing and back-stabbing going on though.

this show is very good for teens 13+. a lot of characters make out with each other and date when they r not supposed to. lauren is a brat to everyone. they cuss a lot (its ok with me but im not sure with other parents). its a very addicting show actually. it gives off good messages about working hard and chasing ur dreams.

this show is soooo not "iffy" i think its good and its really cool that it has gymnastics mixed with teen drama.It is not appropereat for young kids but perfect for tween and teen girls

love this show it teaches the kids that wacth it a very good lesson.

I really think there is nothing wrong with this show, i LOVE it! It's so entertaining that no matter how many times i've seen the episode i have to finish it. I love it, there are some parts that might be inappropriate but nothing scary or like if your kid saw it they would be damged for life. It's a very good show!

i love it

Love it!!!

Good show love it. ABC family did a great job on this one and What I like about you.

I love this show! I would just watch out because it says a** a few times and d***. One of the characters starts to say b****, but another character stops her. Other than that, the show is great!

The mean girl says the A word but the rest is good its an interesting show!

i loved it lauren is a bit mean to emily and kaliey isn't into being mean to emily but she's mean to her anyways. . i am a gymnast amd none of this really happens but in this show they make it seem like it could and will
