A lot of these shows could’ve worked in a college setting. There is no reason why Euphoria couldn’t take place in a university. It’s very annoying to see a show with an amazing plot but it takes place in a high school.

Honestly shows like Euphoria would just make so much more sense in a college setting. Moving away from home, dealing with trauma, finding your identity away from your family, figuring out what you want in sex / relationships are ALL more telltale traits of college coming-of-age stories, not really highschool ones (and since I've been online schooled my whole life, it extra doesn't apply to me 😅)

I was just reading a Twitter thread last night that made some really good points about this topic. They mentioned the lack of options for teens today whether its online, on TV, places to hang out in person, and in the clothes they shop for. Instead they're just thrust straight into consuming content that's really meant for adults and makes them want to look and act older than they really are. Specifically speaking of TV, I'm 26 and I feel like when I was that age we had actual TEEN stars and shows that were age appropriate (Think That's So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, iCarly, Degrassi, etc.). I know Disney Channel still exists but I feel like it's more targeted towards younger kids now so it's not as relevant. And yeah there was still bad influences back then (like Teen Mom, Jersey Shore) but we still had age appropriate options. I didn't feel the need to dress/act older because I had role models that weren't acting that way. Now I see these girls posting online who look like they're my age only to find out that they're only 14, 15, or 16! It's madness! Not sure what the solution is, but it's sad and quite disturbing.

@ritaevergreen7234 Жыл бұрын

ABC family at the time had different shows for teens that came from different genres such as 10 things I hate about you, make it to break it, Jane by design. I remember even watching the Carrie diaries on CW because it was also centered on teens but with the time period being the 80’s. I feel back then the topics of sex were still there but it honestly seemed age appropriate. It seems writers today literally seem lost with actually talking about these subject matters and always resort to the extreme.

Personally, I had very ✨weird✨ adolescent years (13-17), which included constant clubbing, drinking, doing hard drugs, hooking up with guys who were WAY older than me etc etc. So, when I was watching these shows when I was underaged, I didn’t find anything problematic or wrong with them. I’m an adult now and I believe that all these things should NEVER be romantisized or portrayed in a “cool” manner because in the end my mental health went downhill and my body was constantly struggling. All these “fun” activities completely wrecked my perception of life and ruined all my family relationships. It took me almost two years of therapy to finally get better. And don’t get me wrong, partying/having active sex life is ok, but if you’re a teen reading this, please, wait until you’re mature enough, don’t ruin your childhood in order to impress people around you. I’m really grateful that more and more people start speaking out about this issue. P.S. Having romantic partner who is 5/10/15/20 years older than you when you’re underaged is not cool, he should probably be in jail now

"You're not ace you just need to find the right partner" but the thought of sexual situations discust me.

@@snail7722 I wouldn't call not doing those things as being behind. Not a race and some teens are neurodivergent or have a proclivity to addiction and are aware of this--drugs and alcohol aren't a good idea or fun time with this knowledge. especially since alcohol is very much a depressant and worsens symptoms. It shouldn't be normal to have older plugs hooking you up with hard stuff as a young teen, it's just normalized and common. It's not the symbol of the quintessential teen experience.

@insideatheart Жыл бұрын

it think it also depends on where are you from. now in my country is kind of normal for teenagers and young adults to smoke weed and drink alcohol. i was offered a lot of times but i always refused weed and cigarettes (bc i can't stand the smell lmao) but me or my friends never were into hard drugs, i can tell you that. i have adult family members who are addicts and i know some people who are now in rehab but people who are full addicted to hard drugs (specially teens and young adults in school/college) are not that common. because in my country if you're really struggling with addiction at that age is very probable that you aren't even attending school or that you're homeless. and if you're rich of have a lot of money you'll not be doing drugs everyday, it'll be just 'recreational use'. i live in a area that has a drug problem and i have never seen a teen with an obvious drug problem attending school. weed is one thing, but even that doesn't leave you totally knocked out like other drugs do. my point is, the drug aspect can be realistic depending on your situation. i see people with addiction every fucking day in my town. specially with alcohol. lots of homeless people struggle with it and if you live where i live is quite normal to see. i'm from chile btw, south america (+mexico) has a big problem with drugs and addiction, it's really bad. everyday i hear fireworks alerting that there's more drugs and people are so desperate for money that the delinquency levels has gone up, it's very unsafe. i even suspect that one of my neighbors might be selling something bc i see people coming there so often it's weird.

One character that upsets me in particular is Serena Vanderwoodsen. The fan base hates her but really it’s the writers that made her that way, i personally always wanted her to be and do better but they literally made her date grown men and share her body AND do substances. I felt like it wasn’t fair that Blair was “pure” and they constantly made jokes about Serena being “free” but never ever went deep to find out why a teenager would have that many unhealthy relationships. Her and Blair needed to be in therapy lol.

I hear ya! Asexual 32 yr old here (try getting some doctors to believe you’ve never even been on a date at 32…). I know it’s a normal healthy part of life for most people to have sex etc, it’s just not part of my life :) I wish 12+ me (until mid to late twenties in all honesty) had been told that asexuality was a thing and totally normal and okay for a subset of the population. I played along with things in terms of saying I liked boys, making up crushes because I thought it was the thing to do, when really, it just make me feel even more awkward than I already was. Fortunately I was at a private school where abstinence, while not required or anything and we were taught about safe sexual practices etc, was promoted so I didn’t feel AS weird, especially as most of my friends graduated high school never having had sex as well as me. Try explaining to doctors or other health care professionals that at 32 you’ve never even been on a date let alone had sex and you’ll get a little bit of strange looks going on. But I’m happy with where I am. I suppose it’s *possible* that the right guy might come along and change how I feel but I don’t think I give off the vibes of wanting to be in a relationship so it’s less likely anyways. A close friend noticed in my twenties that she had never seen me flirt at all. Guess I just don’t pick up on those cues.

This is such a HUGE problem. I remember vividly the constant fear I had as a teenage girl being so visible to everyone because of how people my age were being portrayed. I stayed a virgin until my first long term boyfriend in college because I was simply too scared to go there. I was so confused about my feelings and about sex in general because there is way too much sexualisation of teenagers and not enough EDUCATION for teens about how to understand it all and how to navigate it safely. I remember a guy I casually liked in school who wanted to have sex with me and I felt attraction towards him but was way too scared to do anything. I thought about how nice it would be to be able to explore sex without fear like he could.

ABC family (now free form) had a ton of teen shows such as 10 things I hate about you, make it or break it, Jane By design. There were even an array of summer movies dedicated to teens. The CW also had the Carrie’s diaries centered around teens. I remember even watching the Australian teen drama Dance Academy. Nowadays everything seems to be exaggerated on tv. At least back then teens came with different storylines and different issues and genres. Now everything today for teens has to be the genre of euphoria.

I grew up on Australian Heartbreak High from '90s, and although there were some episodes that revolved around teen sex, it was never never explicit! And it was never shown as sexualization of children. The series worked with many topics about life and growing up from teen standpoint and it was done really well. Even though a lot of actors who played teens were adults they were still dressing more as teens, had "invisible" make up and normal not to done hair. There were even some teen/adult romances but they also showed how many problems might arise and how bad consequences can be for both involved. I don't know, it seemed much more appropriate than this today. In Euphoria, "teens" wear like a tone of make up with false eyelashes, nails, high heels and tight glittery dresses that would make adult movie stars blush, and they wear it to school! And they seem never to have parents or have totally incapable, problematic parents! And male "teens" like Archie have chiseled face of 30+ year old. The fact that actors playing children are full grown adults still doesn't make it all less creepy. Just put the movie or series in college for God's sake!

Yet they will never think about becoming college students. It always has to be about a 15 year old girl dressing up like a professional stripper and prostitute…like lmao. Do you know that is so unnecessary and just straight up inappropriate. Most 15 year girls do not dress up like strippers.

what I hate the most is 1. for me personally I know I went straight from disney channel to netflix because this was before like the age of disney plus and I was getting too old for it. So I went from stuff like Jessie, and stuck in the middle to Supergirl and Green Arrow which is a HUGE jump that I think is happening more now with streaming services and there not being much teen and tween content anymore. 2. Even thought I've graduated high school I'm waiting to "look like a teen" because I see 20 something's playing teens with flawless skin and keep waiting to look like them when I won't for several years because I am an actual teen 3. not me personally but these shows are marketed to teens, so like 14 year olds who'll see a senior that likes them or god forbid a teacher shows interest then they'll see things like Aria and Ezra and think it's ok and not dangerous, abusive and all sorts of horribleness

A good "teen" show that does lightly talk about a few of these things but isn't the whole plot of the show is called PEN15.

That’s why as a writer I stopped writing stories that take place in high school. For this exact reason and also because I’m 22 years old, I can’t relate to the mindset of someone in high school anymore. I think a lot of these shows have a unrealistic expectation that every single kid in high school has a sex lite because most certainly I DID NOT lol. Now when I write stories the characters are between the ages of 20-25.

@QilinRider21 Жыл бұрын

Same here. When I started writing in my late teens to early 20s my stories and their characters were in High School because alot of my inspiration came from anime, Smallville and shows mentioned in this video but in my mid 20s I experienced a huge mental/creativity block and it's only when I aged up my characters to adulthood with referenc3s to their early lives being relegated to flashbacks and prequel short stories did the creative flow resume..

great video as always. i think another similar vein here is folks who make tv shows that, for all intents and purposes, are made for teenagers - and then NEVER consider the fact that their audiences have don't have developed adult brains. i was maybe 15 when 13 reasons why came out, and the surge in "revenge suicides" and negative stigma around mental health was horrifying, all because producers assumed we were grown enough to know that what the main character did was wrong.

@Gubtheturtle Жыл бұрын

I remember as I was entering my teenage years, I was so excited about going to parties, getting drunk, even having sex at some point. I feel like another factor that determined my wish to ‘let loose’ in high school was not just these sorts of shows, but of stories online where people would talk about their sexual experiences in high school (think of the Reddit stories nowadays). I felt so jealous that I wasn’t living in America in the 80’s and 90’s (where most of those stories came from), and I yearned for those experiences in high school, which now that I look back on it, is extremely unrealistic for the time and place I was in.

I'm 23 and looking back at certain shows is very cringe. Most of these TV shows were my earliest glimpse at relationships and I thought that stuff like sex in high school was normal. It's just crazy to me that very adult things that I'm going through now were put in my face at a very early age. PLL is the show I have the biggest problem with relationships with older men and younger (teenage) women. They really wanted to make Aria and Ezra normal. Lol let me not rant but I don't get the obsession

Plus in AA, CA, NA etc you NEVER have a sponsor of the same gender.

@crab2195 Жыл бұрын

love your videos! i will say though, Degrassi was one of the only shows that actually casted teens to play teens. i feel like most of the cast looked their age and that really helped with a sense of realism. i’m not sure Manny would’ve been able to wear the things she did lol but it fit her character so i think they get a pass for that one. Degrassi (at times) was really good at showing how teenagers really talked, acted and dressed so i always commend the writers for that. as the show went on i think they lost their touch of realism and started to “adultify” their characters a little bit but the beginning seasons are pretty spot on. that show has its problems but it’s definitely one of the best when it comes to accurate portrayal of teens!
