16. I have a 7th grader and am pretty open minded, but there's no way middle schoolers should be watching this show. While they're obviously trying to be hip with their tag line, they've taken it too far. I'm not a religious freak, but F*** and God should not be put together. A show that goes to this lengths to market itself is pretty desperate for attention....the wrong kind. Oh, yeah, I forgot, this show's about a bunch of rich, spoiled, self-absorbed kids desperate for attention...I get it now.

17. Sorry that is WAAAAAAAY to racy of a photo for a show that has such young viewers. I mean it is really silly to think that high school girls aren't sexually active and have never seen a photo like this before but it is still a tad inappropriate and definitely shouldn't be encouraged on a tv show. I think parents should be more concerned with the suggestive picture than the OMFG part. All kids cuss thats not shocking,

21. Oh I don't know...should a show targeted for middle/high school students portray its characters as trouble-making, sexually active, disrespectful, overly developed teens who in real life are probably in their 20s??? This is just the tip of the iceberg with this show! And people wonder why teenagers are so ridiculous these days...

22. No way! I haven't even heard of that show. They will sex it up some more so that there are more 16 y/o girls running around pregnant. Society keep pushing the sex scale and girls will take in that image and believe that is what they have to act like. T.V. needs to be more proactive towards the younger viewers so that they don’t conform to what images are being put out there. My daughter is 8 and I’m trying to keep her innocent but she will learn much more from her classmates than I care to know. Every day is a battle to try and un-condition her from what others tell her. Parents are priority 1 when it comes to what children see on T.V. and internet. I’m always watching her and making sure she is watching and doing thing for her age. However, when she’s at school I can only hope that she follows what I teach her and not follow her peers.

25. Last time I checked people CAN turn the channel or turn the TV OFF. Might I suggest a good book...or there's always Sesame Street. C'mon people, it's a marketing campaign that fits perfectly for this show. If you are offended, the show is not for you nor should it be.

28. I don't know where you guys are living but my kids were hearing that kind of language in school by the time they were in 6th grade or was it heard in 3rd and they were using it by 6th because otherwise they were teased. I just insisted she not say it around the house or, especially, in front of her grandparents. I guess I was lucky because they decided they were too scared of the consequences to do anything they might want to undo. So no tats, no drugs and no sex. It's not how I was raised but I accepted it because it could have been much worse.
