Ember: Yeah. Anyway, I think I've already told you before that most of our Grade 8 year had been watching Degrassi Junior High, right? But that I never liked the show even tho the other were bat crap crazy for it. Well, I went back and looked at it and I'm so shocked now...I mean, when I was 13 I thought that it was boring, unrealistic and over dramatic, I only liked one character, and that was because his father abused him, so I related to him, but going back and watching it again...It's just so different...I hate it even more now, but for more reasons, I guess...Like how they made one kid fall off a bridge after trying LSD and got brain damage, or how they had one kid shoot another and paralyze him...I still think it's stupidly over dramatic, but now it just makes me sad rather then disgusted or mad...I don't know...I just hate it...I know Degrassi was always the show to go "HAHA!! YOU THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T GO THERE!!! BUT WE DID!!!" and I guess that's why everyone loves it so much, but I just can't stand it...

Blake: Yeah, I always disliked it since the girl with the crazy hair got pregnant and the other one almost got raped in a car and the two younger boys watched porn and...yeah, it was just a crazy show ^_^' But I mean, it was better then doing work, right? :P XD

Ember: But still...Even after nearly 3 years, I can't stop thinking of the abused kid, the one scene will always be stuck in my head (kinda like how I also haven't stopped thinking about Jack's little sister and the scene where Jack died), and I really almost wished I hadn't looked at Degrassi again, bcuz I watched the episode where the kid shot the other one and even if he was a psycho still I can't help but feel sorry for him, but that's not what makes me hate it, no, it's the LSD guy, because in the new Degrassi, they made an episode where his daughter finds him, but he thinks she's still a baby and that she doesn't love him because she doesn't visit him (she didn't bcuz her mom lied and didn't want her to), it's just that line that he says, "she's my daughter, but she doesn't love me. She doesn't come to visit me, she doesn't care about me" and then he realizes that she's his daughter, but she grew up and she starts to cry and he hugs her and says "don't be sad, everything's okay, daddy's here now, daddy's here" and you can tell he really does love her and care about her though because he tries to make her feel better, like when they talked about when he fell and says "don't be sad, my head's okay now, see? It doesn't hurt, I'm okay." and didn't want her to leave. Idk, somehow it just makes me so sad...ugh, I wish that show had never even been made...

Blake: Yeah, I still don't like it either, and it is sad, but I always thought wheels was the saddest, but that's probably just bcuz I can relate to him in ways, like his parents dying and everything...

Ember: Yeah, but now that I'm not emotionally numb anymore, it makes watching the show way harder and sadder now...Idk...And why does it matter and hurt me so much anyway?...

Blake: *Shrugs* I guess it was always intending to try to hit home, but I guess that's also why we don't like it. Plus what our classmates said...XD

Ember: Ugh, yeah, I said I didn't like it, so one of the guys assumed I didn't like it bcuz one of the girls got pregnant (which wasn't the reason btw) so he says, and I quote, "but it could happen to you! Blake could get you pregnant!" yeah, we spent the rest of the day in awkward silence -__________- It just UGH WHY?? I mean, sure, now Blake and I can have a laugh over it, but back then it was just awkward and random...
