Degrassi is the most impulsive show on television. Those kids' lives wouldn't be nearly so complicated if they would just stop and think before they did things. All of their problems are homemade. It's not like they're living in the slums. And they pretty much represent every kind of troubled teenager imaginable. You have the goth chick, the girl who cuts herself, the gay kid, the gay kid's older boyfriend who cheats on him, the rape victim, the bossy girl with glasses, the two other girls who are always whoring it up, the rebellious young man who had what may have been the worst haircut known to mankind, the funny kid who is too short to date, that other slightly older guy who I swear to god looks exactly like Thurston even though no one agrees with me, the cancer patient, the basketball star who was crippled in a school shooting, the borderline stalker who shot that kid and then shot himself, and Craig (who has too many problems to focus on just one). And I think they're all from broken homes, like the Babysitter's Club. I haven't seen the show in months because our digital cable stopped working, yet the intensity of this program still radiates throughout our home.
