There isn't one fictional tv show that accurately portrays high school, amirite?

I've blown up freedom, learned the hard way, lived on love, eating my way to heaven, brought sexy back, smoked my world to pieces, drank the poison, shot the guard, licked the land, gave grace a helping hand, swore the bullpen off, lifted tree to the air, gone aloft with feet bare, cried faithful tears among the wind, smiled an ear to ear grin, bought a hunk of trying true, now my dear I'll always love you :)

That's why it's called fiction...

But even so, shows like The Secret Life Of The American Teenager constantly claim that they realistically depict high school...when in actuality, they don't. At all.

I'm talking about "fictional" ones though, that's what this post is talking about. Fictional shows are meant to be sort of an escape from the troubles of life...like Glee and such.

When I said "fictional", I meant shows other than reality shows...which doesn't exclude shows that claim to be realistic, like the Secret Life. But I see where you're coming from.

Not really... I watch that show and... no.

I said close, not exact. And I don't watch show you were watching, but Boy Meets World is very close to real life. Maybe your life is the one that doesn't fit the stereotype.

Well... Degrassi is kinda close?

(...): Ummmmmmmm..... sure? It came closer than Secret Life of the American teenager. But it's like everything bad that could happen at high school does. lol

I think pretty little liars come kinda close except for all of the weird messages they get...

Mean girls highlighted all the stereotypes and made them interact better.

The thing is, most shows only portray the scandal and the worst of the gossip, to make them more interesting.

My highschool might have been different from your high school, amirite?

I think that someone should start a show where they secretly film a highschool for 2 weeks. They then air the entire filming, not just the juicy stuff, in episodes. They then move on to a different highschool, and repeat.

My So-Called Life back in the 90's? Came close I thought.

Everyone high school is different. I know in mines there really wasn't any cliques ( popular, nerds, jocks).
