Degrassi

my favorite show I'm currently hooked on is degrassi. its very interesting since it tackles controversial issues such as being transgender and gender reassignment as well as suicide. Maya acted out and hooked up with someone. she was upset her ex-boyfriend didn't say goodbye before committing suicide. she acted out since she was upset and didn't know how to deal with his suicide. Adam is transgender and wants to remove his breasts. his mom says, "she respects how Adam feels like a boy." to which he responds I don't feel like a boy I am. if you feel like the other gender it could be that you feel out of body. another issue degrassi deals with is eating disorders. such as anorexia, bulimia and anorexia binge-purge. something that many people think with eating disorders is it's a girls issue but its a unisex issue since both boys and girls can get an eating disorder. Maya's sister got an eating disorder. suicide is huge since people think life is too big to deal with. it hits close to home since my best friend was close to committing suicide through bullying. Campbell Saunders committed suicide since he was home sick, hated hockey, and was unhappy with his life. His team captain on hockey bullied him for Cam's hockey skills and Alli, Cam's tutor, knew Cam had problems. Dallas, the team captain said they should be blamed for Cam's suicide.
