Well come to think of it, there are some shows that my daughter would watch that dealt with today's issues. Teen sex, pregnancy, gay and lesbian issues, divorce, drugs, drinking and general life. Two of the shows were South of Nowhere and Degrassi. I watched a few episodes of these since she watched them in the living room. At first I was impressed with how they handled these issues, but then I started thinking that a teenager can take these shows one of two ways. Lessons on what not to do, or lesson's on what to do just not make the same mistakes (like using protection when having sex, which some characters did not do). I think that most kids will fall into the latter lesson's learned since they simultaneously taught them the bad things that can happen when they use poor judgment, but then they also made it look like they were having fun while potentially ruining their collective lives. I think that bad parts escape them. I dunno. I do know that my daughter announced to my mother several months ago that she was bi. I asked her about it and she told me that she is, but then when her hypocrite puritan uber bitch mother asked about it, she flatly denied she ever said that to anyone. Maybe that is part of the problem Intolerant parents? One episode of one of these shows, a teenage girl was caught by her mother with another girl and the mother went through the roof. That did not help the situation at all. Same in our house. I could give a flip what sexual orientation my daughter is, as long as she is happy. That's all I care about. Besides, it would not be the first time there was a gay person in my family. Maybe that is the difference of me growing up in Southern California and my ex growing up in South Dakota. (suddenly I hear the cast of Fargo in my head).
