At first, I admit I was skeptical. But as a kid who grew up with hip hop, I feel as if this show speaks to me subliminally. Its a collection of everything that happened in our high school with tremendous exaggeration. The show does well with viewers as it offers a vicarious window of the school we all wish we could go to. As for the characters, they're SPOT ON. The stereotypes and all provide an insight into the zealous hormonal drive with a mix of stupidity and embarrassment that these 3 kids suffer from. To those who gave this a a terrible rating, why not analyze and read between the lines. There's a lot more happening than just inappropriate actions. It is sad that people just pass this show off.
