Is the show DEGRASSI an APPROPRIATE SHOW FOR TEENS? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. myluv4yesash (170)3 years ago

Degrassi is this an appropriate show for our teens? I feel as though everytime I sit in on the girls when they are watching this show, I feel like some scenes aren't appropriate. Do you feel the same way? Is this show something you're concerned about? What other teen shows are you concerned about? I mean my typical shows when I was a teen was something like "the brady bunch" lol.

Degrassi is a bit rated for mature teens. But hey i guess this is what the teens are doing wether we like it or not! Or even can picture our children doing it.They are sneaky little crumb snatchers. They can be like camelons and blend into their enviorment and can change when switching senery. I do agree its a bit racey but its also good for them to see the situations that go on. And it is a bit realitiyish for them too! I am hoping they are learning from there mistakes and not thinking its cool! Hopefully when they start to get into some of the situations displayed on the show, they know when to stop or at least know where the situation is heading!

I know they will eventually do the things we are afraid they'll learn on tv. I still have to admit, they are my babies and it concerns me so much. Mean while I sat down with them and enjoyed the show, but explaining the naughty scenes and explaining how some things are just not right at all. Repect is what I teach these girls and to repect themselves and others. Even if they watch silly shows that have perverted scenes at least I hope they do the right thing as I've showed them. Thank you ejobsuccess:).

I started watching Degrassi when I was a freshman in high school and got hooked. I'm 20 now and still watch. I don't think it's inappropriate, because I think most of the stuff that occurs on the show is quite outlandish. There's no way that all of that would occur to the same group of people. I think it's like a soap opera for teenagers.

I live in the US and it actually annoys me that the channel it's broadcast on here, The N, even edits some of the content. Like they never showed the abortion episode...

At the root of the show, all of the characters are good people, and are typical teens. They make mistakes but it's not like they're serial killers or anything.

That's nice to know that you grew up with the show and you have a good positive feedback on it. I'm the type that if you can't beat it, join it. I don't want to dictate what they can or can't see so I decided to join them and watch what their watching. After the shows are done, we talk about some of the issues that happend and make sure they understand. In case they are ever in one of those situations, I always remind them that I'll be there for them. I always want them to know taht no matter how tough of a situation they could be in, I'm always there for them as their mother and friend. Thanx so much for your feedback.

I don't think it's inappropriate because some of this stuff does go on with teens and maybe even kids younger. I know this because I've seen the stuff that goes on in my community and I saw what went on in my high school, but everyone needs to know this stuff isn't common amongst a lot of high schoolers or teenagers. I think it's a good show and it shows how to deal with the situations and how not to be sometimes.


myLot reputation of 95/100. myluv4yesash (170)  3 years ago

Yes that is a great point. It's true that kids can relate, I understand that. It's like their little mini soap with resourceful information.

Nowdays, television is getting more raunchy, I agree to that much, but at the same time, I feel like it's one of those shows where it doesn't show those scenes to necessarily entertain (although it can be quite entertaining..) but to educate, and portray what's really going on. I love the show, and so this answer is totally biased, and I couldn't imagine TV without it.
