I love drama,as long as it’s on TV.But shows like Gossip Girl and Melrose Place take this too far.These shows show an unattainable level of well in the hands of teens.The shows have cat fights,blackmail and threesomes all carried out by teens,in some cases young teens.To top it of the stations offer teens ways to achieve low rent versions of the lifestyle they see on the screen offering downloads of songs and by creating discount lines so viewers can dress like the stars.But what this does is make these kids simultaneously think they can be like the stars (i.e. behave like them) and still not be as cool because they have to low end version.So what you get ae girls who blackmail and back stab all to cover low self esteem.Thanks broadcast TV!
