If you've never seen or heard of Degrassi High... you are seriously missing out. If the names
Wheels, Snake, and Joey aren't familiar to you, the you didn't have a chance to connect with real kids with real high school problems.
Degrassi is an old Canadian teen drama that we used to watch when I was in school (grade school). When you grow up watching Canadian television, then you understand that this teen drama was far superior then anything seen in the US - 90210, Hey Dude, or even Fifteen. Rob and I would watch old episodes in college. In Houghton, there isn't much to do when it snows from October - May, so watching Degrassi was great way to keep it real.
don't think he realized that there were 3 seasons that he missed. So as a special treat we rented it on Netflix. Over the last 2 weeks, we've been watching a few episodes a night to catch up. It really covers on all the important teen drAma (to pronounce like a true Canadian).
Just to name a few (courtesy of Degrassifans.com):
Date Rape
Teen Pregnancy
Suicide
Depressions
Eating Disorders
