Teen TV dramas are some of the greatest shows on television — they're soapy, campy, and one of them even gave us this GIF for the rest of eternity:
But, we can all admit that there are certain tropes that happen time and time again — and eventually it gets a bit annoying. Perhaps it's a central love triangle?
Or the whole "teacher dating a student" thing that is almost always icky and weird and 100% illegal?!?!
Or maybe it's just the fact that the guys are, like, contractually obligated to be shirtless??!!!
