Maybe I just have a low threshold for secondhand embarrassment, but there are certain things in teen shows and movies that I just think are so weird and cringe — and no one seems to talk about them.
Here are just a smattering of things that bother me in teen shows and films:
1.On One Tree Hill, when Julian wrote a TV show about his wife and her friends when they were in high school, and then inserted himself in as a character.
2.In Twilight, when all the adoptive siblings were dating each other:
3.On Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when Spike literally created a robot Buffy to have sex with:
4.On Glee, when Will cast himself in Rocky Horror Picture Show:
5.And on Riverdale, when Betty's mom performed in Carrie:
6.In 13 Going on 30, when Jenna had a sleepover with a bunch of kids:
7.On Pretty Little Liars, when Ezra gave a whole goodbye speech to his class and was CLEARLY just talking to Aria:
8.And just the fact that they got married...especially IN THEIR TOWN, in front of literally everyone:
9.On One Tree Hill, when Brooke, Haley, and Quinn randomly dressed up as superheroes to help a girl who was being bullied:
10.On Glee, when Finn kissed Emma (his former guidance counselor) and then Will challenged him to a Backstreet Boys/NSYNC dance-off (which they also physically fought during?):
11.In 10 Things I Hate About You, when Kat read her poem to the class and started crying:
12.On Pretty Little Liars, when Aria was implanted with Emily's eggs:
13.In Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, when 22-year-old Scott was dating a high schooler:
14.In Booksmart, when Miss Fine went into the TEENAGERS' party and flirted with Theo:
15.On The Vampire Diaries, when Stefan dated the carbon copy of his ex:
16.And also when he literally stalked Elena for months after meeting her and then decided to go back to high school so he could be close to her:
17.In The Lizzie McGuire Movie, when Pablo dated Lizzie, a middle-schooler:
18.On Riverdale, when Veronica insisted that she and Jughead kiss to basically get revenge on Archie and Betty for kissing:
19.In High School Musical, when Ryan and Sharpay had played opposite each other in musicals their whole lives, often playing love interests despite being siblings:
