Diary of a Future President

If I think back to when I was in middle school and how we acted and how dramatic things seemed, this show is accurate in how middle schoolers are. I think the show is cute. When I see people rate this low just based on the fact that the "inappropriate" part of this show is the fact that girls the age where they normally get their period, mention and talk about their period (because believe me, when I was in middle school, that was actually a thing), it makes no sense. If you think about the demographic for the viewers of this show, which I would say probably includes girls who get what they are depicting in the show, it makes sense that they'd mention that. There's no reason to hide something that all girls go through and can actually have something in common with characters in the show. They're depicting what it's like to be a teen girl and just because it's a Disney show, doesn't mean it should be all rainbows and flowers and be ignorant and tells girls that it's still something to be ashamed of and having a period is "inappropriate", when it's just life.

Disney shows have never shyed away from tough topics. Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana both talked about bras. Lizzie also talked about eating disorders. That's So Raven tackled racism. Smart Guy took on child predators. And so on, and so forth. Why are people only mad when it comes to talking about being gay or having your period?

Its a good show Sam the best part I like all the bobby side plots the show is pretty good season 2 just came out and I watched half of it so trust me you should give it a try.

This show is really funny and sweet. It represents marginalized populations, like LGBTQ+, Latinx, women, etc. I love all the empowerment and how they normalize periods, tampons, bras-love it. The thing I did NOT love for my young kids was talking about "Miami second base", showing teenage boys practicing second base with a pillow, and kids playing "7 minutes in heaven". Those are probably typical middle school happenings but I wish I would have had a heads up with a more accurate rating. I watched with my 3 elementary school aged kids but I would recommend 13+ years old.

This show is perfect for kids. Those complaining about the period scenes, as a kid, I remember having these conversations, so it is normal. For those saying this show is for an "entitled generation" thinking they can become anything, is just a bitter person that couldn't achieve anything, so they take it out on a tv show.

Seeing a latino cast is just what we needed growing up. I remember watching boy meets world as a child, and loved it. Hoping for more seasons!
