19 Times Teen Shows Just Went Way, Way Too Far

Literally nobody asked for the tickle videos on Riverdale.

We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which teen show moments were so bad, they never should have made the final cut. Here are some of their responses:

Spoilers ahead!!!

Note: Some of the following include mentions of sexual assault.

1. First, when Quinn's car accident left her temporarily paralyzed on Glee:

Fox

"It didn't add anything to the show or her character and it wasn't even mentioned after that season. It was pointless and honestly just annoying."

—smokeyandvv

2. When Caroline became the surrogate for Alaric's twins and then they developed a romantic relationship on The Vampire Diaries:

The CW

"He was her teacher!"

—katherinemarsh2782

3. When everyone joined the farm cult on Riverdale:

The CW

"That whole season should have been cut — what high school kids would join a cult called 'the Farmies,' undergo a mysterious surgery which turns out to actually be organ harvesting, and be okay with it?!"

—confettiline

4. When the whole town treated Grace being attacked like a big joke on The Secret Life of the American Teenager:

Freeform

"Everyone in town, including adults, made jokes about the surveillance video."

—markiemsm

5. When Landon literally turned into goo and died after he and Hope had sex for the first time on Legacies:

The CW

"WTF was that?!"

—squid_nuggs

6. When Clare thought Drew was the father of her baby, but then it turned out to be Eli's on Degrassi: The Next Generation:

TeenNick

"The whole Eli-Clare-Drew love triangle should have been cut."

—sushigirl200

7. When Kevin, Fangs, and Reggie got caught up in a tickle video business on Riverdale:

The CW

"There are so many Riverdale storylines to choose from, but that one really stands out."

—aaronweeks101

8. When Clarke killed Bellamy over a sketchbook on The 100:

The CW

"What were the writers even thinking? They were best friends and meant so much to each other. Nobody even grieved for Bellamy and everyone just forgave Clarke. It honestly was so out of character and out of place and should have been cut."

—klee12

9. When Ben called Amy "his whore" on The Secret Life of the American Teenager:

Freeform

"It makes me wanna throw up. I’ve always hated Ben, and this scene made it worse."

—peynor

10. When A was revealed as Spencer's secret British identical twin on Pretty Little Liars:

Freeform

"That whole thing was out of control."

—yololtb

11. When everyone dressed up as animals and sang "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" with puppets on Glee:

Fox

"Many, many things on Glee come to mind."

—msjsa

12. When Nathan and Haley got married while still in high school on One Tree Hill:

The WB

13. When there was literally a cannibalistic ritual on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina:

Netflix

"Need I say more?"

—sparklyglue78

14. When Aria and Ezra's student-teacher relationship was portrayed as totally fine and normal on Pretty Little Liars:

Freeform

"Why did the writers think a relationship between a high school teacher and his student wouldn't create backlash? It wouldn’t have made the final cut if the show was airing today."

—gkangchs

15. When Chuck sexually assaulted both Serena and Jenny in the very first episode of Gossip Girl:

The CW

"And he somehow still ended up as the romantic lead. Pretty much everything Chuck Bass ever did in Gossip Girl was entirely awful and unrealistic."

—petdragon

16. When half-siblings Lu and Valerio had a sexual relationship on Elite:

Netflix

"He’s literally her half brother! It should have never been a storyline."

—xdaniellax

17. When Malia and Scott dated on Teen Wolf:

MTV

"Pretty much everything to do with Malia was bad, but especially her relationship with Scott."

—bowsie22

18. When Veronica just casually ran a speakeasy as a high school junior on Riverdale:

The CW

"Everyone was just fine with it! Not only did the adults let it keep happening, but they would occasionally frequent the establishment themselves."

—twinsfan25

19. And finally, Patty's entire weight loss storyline on Insatiable:

Netflix

"Where do I start? No doctor would actually allow her change in nutrition to be that extreme, even if she had to be on a liquid diet. Her life magically transforms with her body. I don't care that the show is a dark comedy, it still perpetuates the idea that your appearance dictates your worth."
