Kids say : Not yet rated

This series is a teen's rough wake up call that she doesn't have it all. Cindy la Regia: The High School Years is fast-paced, raunchy, and authentic. Michele Pellicer's portrayal of Cindy's struggles and fall from grace is intriguing to watch. There's lots of potential for meaningful family dialogue about numerous topics, like consent, sexuality, and family. The cursing and sexual content makes this suitable for slightly older teens.
