Good for older teens, with solid minds.
Most 8th and 9th graders in public schools know abotu everything mentioned on the show. The issue is do they have the solid minds to decide, hey thats bad. If you think your kid wont be influenced to go and have sex with 3 people in 1 night, go ahead let them watch it.

For a MTV Generation
Since the cast members are 18-25, the show is appropriate for those ages, and mature teenagers. Social issues like aneroxia, alcoholism, and gay stereotypes are addressed in a good way, and the show can be a used as a tool to talk to teens about these issues.

If you want a soft porn on tv then this is perfect.
I saw the first episode and it began like this. They all got togethter in the house. ONe girl whined about there not being a gay guy. A black babtist found the gay guy(there's always a gay guy in the house) and he said "I think it's wrong that your gay". Then they all went out partying. There was a threesome kiss, smacking eachother's buts, etc. They got home and one of the girls wanted to have a "sleepover" with another guy. He said he'd be up in 20 minutes but he ended up making out with another girl and it actually showed about 5 minutes of making out.(oh and they were all drunk as heck). The episode continues like that. How is this the real world? IT's just a bunch of rich, horny, teens.

MATURE teens only not for kids!
This show is inappropriate for children. There are fights galore and the cussing is REALLY BAD!! Words are bleeped but you know what there saying. Most people are immature and whiny they act 12 instead of 21. This show makes kids think that this is how real adults should act, but thats farther than the truth.

A train wreck in the making
I hate to love this show. But I can't turn away from the train wreck. Would not let my kids watch this.
