Product Description

Go to school with the show in a class by itself--and get real! Hailed as "groundbreaking," "powerful," and "totally authentic," Degrassi Junior High confronts it all—friendship, puberty, rumors, sports, studies, and more—with a refreshing ensemble cast and a unique teen’s-eye-view of life. Sometimes moving, sometimes shocking, but always believable, Degrassi Junior High is a classic for teens of all ages. All your favorite characters and storylines are waiting—find your seat—school’s open!

Includes four Degrassi Junior High episodes from Season 1:

The Great Race: It’s a battle of the sexes when L.D. challenges the boys’ soccer squad to a relay swim meet against the girls’ swim team.

Rumor Has It: Sometimes it’s tough to get a straight answer. Kathleen is spreading rumors that Ms. Avery is gay, which ultimately causes Caitlin to question her own sexuality.

The Best Laid Plans: Stephanie asks Wheels out on a date, but bravado and overheard conversations lead both of them to imply to their friends that they’re going to "do something"—though neither is sure that they’re ready for it. Nothing To Fear: When L.D.’s dad goes into the hospital, L.D. is terrified. Years ago, her mother died while undergoing treatment at a hospital and L.D. is scared that her father may die also.

Customer Reviews

Best Teen Show Ever
Contrary to what the previous reviewer wrote, this is a wonderful show that explores real teen issues. Yes, because this was done in the 80's, it may seem dated to some now, but this Canadian series tackled topics that are still seldom touched on by mainstream U.S. networks such as teen pregnancy, suicide, abortion, and AIDS among teens, just to name a few. I would highly recommend this exceptional show.

Tired
Watched this with my kids who utterly and totally rejected it. The stories seemed far too didactic.
