Back from the dead thread! For awhile now I’ve been brainstorming various issues Degrassi has attempted to address. Let’s start out with the broad umbrella idea of straight up academics. In other words, what character or storyline has best represented what the high school experience is? To open up the discussion, here's a few questions I have:
- What storylines could you see taking place in your own high school? What ones felt the most realistic to you? What about the most unrealistic?
- High school is full of cliques. What group of friends reminded you of people you would see in your hallways? This can also leave a person feeling quite isolated; was there a moment that captured how you felt on the fringe and lonely?
- What character, storyline, or moment in the series reminded you of your high school experience when you were the most happy? Most unhappy?
We’re going to go more in depth into topics like sexuality, gender roles, mental illness, bullying, family/sibling issues, friendship, etc later. This is just something to get the ball rolling.
