"Degrassi - The Next Generation" is a Canadian show based in Toronto, Canada. It is a show that takes place in a Junior/Senior High school that would be typical of any school in Canada. The story follows several kids as they come across issues and problems and joys of school life and also life out of school.
The show is not afraid to tackle the issues either, from dealing with Internet bullying to relationships, dating and even homophobia and coming out.
The show has been on for several years and yet remains fresh as a new generation of kids start at Degrassi and a new generation of kids start watching the show.
I used to watch Degrassi (The original series), and really enjoyed it. I think the show is important and should be watched by Teens, Tweens and their parents. I still watch the show to see what is likely going on at my 12 year old son's school. That way, I can be ready when issues arrive about peer pressure and other issues that The Next Generation tackles.
Degrassi - The Next Generation can be seen Sunday evenings on CTV. Click below to visit the official site.
