Degrassi: All Falls Down prts. 1 & 2

Drew and Bianca

How could Drew cheat on Alli with a floozy? Seriously Drew, Bianca isn’t worth it, she’s not even worth on dime. Bianca is a home-wrecking tramp that isn’t happy with her life so she has to ruin other people’s lives. The way she was flirting with Drew, that girl must have balls to ask Drew un-button her sweater. What girl does that, unless she’s dying for some sex?

I was happy for Alli because I thought she was finally going to have a healthy, stable relationship for once but Drew had to mess that up. Alli should’ve totally kicked Bianca’s ass when she had the chance. It wasn’t like she didn’t know Drew had a girlfriend, she knew what she was doing.

Drew and Alli

Drew lying to Alli about the kiss is what most boys would’ve done. But, what is so hard about coming clean and telling the truth, cause you know the truth is going to come out eventually. Which will make the fight worse? It did because Bianca made it clear that Drew and her had oral sex. Bianca is an honest whore because at least she has the guts to tell the girl what her boyfriend is afraid to tell her.

Alli and Owen

Owen is a slime ball that takes the opportunity when he sees it. He smells vulnerability and takes advantage of it. Telling Alli some b.s about how she’s worth a million dollars. Alli like the dumb idiot she is, she falls for it. Owen says he’ll pay 50$ just to hook up with her, Alli wanted to make Drew jealous so she agreed to it.

I was thinking that Alli wanted to through that whole STI scare that she went through with Johnny. Who knows whom Owen has hooked up with or even how clean he is?

Alli didn’t want to hook up with Owen but Owen wasn’t quick to let her go. Drew comes to Alli’s rescue, what a superman.

Alli vs. Mrs. Torres

Mrs. Torres has become one of the most annoying characters I’ve seen in Degrassi. She’s abrasive and condescending, she’s always up Mr. Simpson’s ass about enforcing the rules or protecting her children. The way she disregarded Alli’s hand in the beginning of the episode just because she walked in on Alli and Drew kissing. Seriously, Mrs. Torres you’re the adult, you don’t treat a girl like that ever. If she‘d gotten there a few minutes earlier then maybe she would’ve seen that Drew and Alli were studying. Then she thinks Alli was trying to do something to Drew but not even realizing the tears on Alli’s face.

Clare and Eli

Clare and Eli kiss again!! Only this time it wasn’t for some English project. He just grabbed her and kisses her and that kiss was spicy. Boy does the romance end when Eli and Clare lie to Mr. Simpson about Fitz setting up the stink bomb. When in reality it was the beloved Clare Edwards. Clare, isn’t she suppose to be a girl of integrity then why is she doing this.

Clare and Fitz

Fitz finds out it was Eli, whom had lied to Mr. Simpson. Clare goes to the dance with Fitz so Fitz won’t hurt Eli. Eli acts all nonchalantly about the whole thing but in the inside his blood is boiling in his veins. Then goes up to Fitz and threatens him and Fitz says that he’s going to sleep with her. (He looks like that type). Then he tries to convince no to go to the dance with Fitz. Eli makes things worse when he tells Clare to slip Ipecac-Lace in Fitz drink.

The Dance

Fitz meets Clare and he shows up with a corsage (so cute). Clare is trying to be a Good Samaritan by asking Fitz to burry the hatchet. Fitz agrees to burry the hatchet if Eli apologizes. The only problem with that is that Eli isn’t budging. He then changes his mind because he loves Clare. But we all can smell he had something up his red-sleeves. He suggested that they make a toast, and Clare is aware of what Eli’s trying to do so she makes them switch cups. If only Clare had known that Eli was a smart fellow, Fitz still drank the Ipecac-Laced and ended up barfing. Damn it Eli! You couldn’t swallow your pride and let things go. Not even for Clare’s sake.

Clare sees Fitz pull a knife out his locker and makes a fast getaway. Clare’s going on a wild goose chase to find Eli, she finds Adam and tells Adam to call Mr. Simpson and tell him about Fitz. She then finds Eli, who won’t back down and be scare of Fitz. Well, that didn’t happen because you were definitely scared when you were face to face with Fitz. Luckily, the cops get there to arrest Eli.

Mr. Simpson is livid, he is adamant about the lies and betrayal of trust that lies in this school. The lies: Eli and Clare and the betrayal of trust: the striptease between Holly J and Sav. He delivers an enigmatic message: “There are going to be changes, big changes. When you come back from break…you won’t recognize this school at all”

Fiona vs. her Sanity

Another powerful performance by Annie Clark, Fiona Coyne has been growing on me this season. Most people may say she’s annoying or pathetic but I feel bad for her because she’s been put in this awful situation that it takes awhile to get over.

Just when things are going great with Fiona, her attorney has to show up asking for her testimony. Fiona like most girls going through this situation would rather it fall under an oblivion. However, her mother doesn’t want to drop the charges because no one abuses her daughter and gets away with it.

Fiona’s reaction after watching Bobby’s deposition pissed me off. Instead of retaliation or even being utterly angry, she starts feeling ambivalent. Bobby said he pitied her, called her emotionally unstable saying that she made the whole thing up. (If Fiona hadn’t posted those photos online or even kissed Declan, just so Holly J could back off then maybe he wouldn’t be calling her this). If I were Fiona, I would spit on that smug-son-of-a-bitch’s face and fight even harder.

Her doctor prescribes her pills so she can deal with this situation but Fiona rather use alcohol as some sort of anti-depressant. She does a smart by putting champagne on a water bottle so nobody can tell the difference. A mother should always know when there’s something wrong with their daughter even if their daughter is discreet.

When Fiona told her mother that she made it up I was peeved. Is she really going to let Bobby win? Is she going to let that asshole get away with it so he can be free to hurt other girls?

Luckily, Fiona had a good support system and that was Holly J. Holly J made Fiona watch that video again so Fiona could have the reaction that most girls would (if they’re innocent). She made Fiona not give up this fight.

Girls that are dealing with this situation need to understand that it’s not their fault that their boyfriends hit them. It’s their boyfriends fault because they don’t know what respect means.

Adam acting Melodramatic

Adam should understand that Eli likes Clare and Clare likes Eli, so he needs to back off and let them be. He needs to find some other friends, which is where Fitz comes into play. Adam wasn’t using his senses when it came to Fitz, obviously Fitz had no intention being your friend.

The whole Fight Club scene was stupid and messed up especially when they got Bianca to fight Adam. The guys believe Adam isn’t a boy, he’s a boy between the ears. Adam, adamantly, goes up to Fitz and punches him in his nuts. Fitz wants to fight Adam after school.

If Eli wasn’t a good friend would he have take a punch from Fitz and Clare, would she have set a stink bomb that could possibly get her in trouble? Adam doesn’t realize the friends he has.

Riley!! He’s In, He’s out, He’s In, He’s Out again!! Make up your mind!!!

Riley secretly signed him and Zane up for King and King at the Vegas dance, but he regrets doing it because it’s posted online. Which means that he’s “actually” out. Riley is forced to come out to the whole football team due to some idiot’s questions. Drew comes to rescue, which surprised me because weren’t they rivals once before.

But, Riley questions coming out after a scout from Eastern University came to see him. He fears that being a openly gay player will oust him from the team. Then Zane telling him about a gay-rights activist that got killed, he starts fearing that maybe the same thing will happen to him.

I was so proud when Riley didn’t turn the offer and when he kissed Zane in public. This is a sweet love in the process. I’m so proud of my Riley Stavros, I thought it was going to take forever for him to come out.

Degrassi: Still Fighting It prts. 1 & 2

Riley’s Quest to Win Zane Back

Riley still has feelings for Zane and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win him back. Literally, he’s willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to win back his heart. Even punching jackasses in the face.

The guys in the locker room make gay jokes, obviously directed toward Zane, and Riley plays along with them. Not even realizing that it’s hurting Zane’s feelings. Really? Riley for someone who’s trying to get Zane back you’re not off to a good start.

After Riley attends that gay group he’s gone gangster postal. It’s like he’s apart of a gay rights activists group. He wants all the guys to wear pick shirts and to stop making gay jokes. Of course Owen has a problem with that, I really hate that guy, I hope they get rid of him.

Riley punches Owen in the face when he sprays “Riley’s a Fag” in the school bus. I thought Riley was taking anger management classes, it seems like that wasn’t working out for him. He doesn’t realize that by being this aggressive guy he’s really pushing Zane away.

I thought that was sweet of Riley to bid 50$ on Zane, I thought it was official that he’s out of the closet. But, there’s still some work to be done. See, Zane that’s how much he means to you. He loves you and he’s willing to spend 50$ just to get a date with you. I honestly love this relationship because it’s clean and healthy and has some drama.

What is Going on With Eli?

Finally, Clare and Eli kiss while doing the Romeo and Juliet project. But the kiss may have meant different things to both Eli and Clare. I thought Eli was giving Clare the cold shoulder in both parts. However, he was still holding on to the death of his ex-girlfriend. I could understand why that would get him so glum but time has passed and Eli deserves to move on.

I had chills down my spine when Eli told Clare “This is where I killed my ex-girlfriend.” I was scared for Clare because I thought Eli was a sociopath and he was going to kill to Clare. However, I calmed down the minute he explained the story.

It’s going to take some time for Eli to deal with it and realize that he deserves to be happy. It wasn’t his fault that a car hit her besides it was an accident. Clare deserves to be happy with somebody and that person happens to be Eli. Eli and Clare just have this chemistry that you can’t ignore.

Wesley’s Crush

I love Wesley; he’s one of those nerdy guys with a decent looking face. How can no girl want him? Sure, he might not be cool or he may be a little awkward but he sweet and funny that’s a great combination. I would date Wesley if I were in Degrassi, I can have fewer chances of getting hurt or cheated on. Wesley’s a safe catch, no offense.

My sympathies go towards  Wesley in the auction bid, that would lower my self esteem if I didn’t get bid on. However, what Wesley wanted he got because Anya ended up bidding 2$ on him. I would’ve been so excited if the guy I was crushing on bid on me even if it was a minimal amount of money.

I hope that Wesley and Anya do get together because I think Anya needs someone like Wesley on her side. While she’s dealing with her mother’s cancer she needs a healthy stable relationship on her side.

Jenna’s Pregnant!!!

Jenna getting pregnant wasn’t something expected. They didn’t really focus on their relationship intimately; I honestly thought K.C was a virgin (Jenna is obviously not a virgin-I could just tell).

That’s the problem with teenage girls they’re so quick to throw it all away not even thinking about the consequences. Girls are so busy thinking that they’re grown women but the truth is a girl isn’t ready to do what a woman does. I feel sorry for Jenna but she should’ve been smart.

K.C pushing Jenna to get an abortion is what a guy will always do to a girl. I’m glad that Jenna put her foot down and decided to keep the baby. Getting an abortion could have negative repercussions both physically and mentally. You don’t know how a girl feels after getting an abortion. I’m glad that the writers didn’t make Jenna get an abortion because that sends a horrible message to girls. You might as well say ‘You Got Pregnant? Don’t Worry an Abortion Will Solve the Problem!’ Jenna is making the right decision to keep the baby.

The fact that K.C ran out on Jenna doesn’t look good on his part. I’m sorry that Jenna has to go through this alone, with the help of her brother of course, but the writers have to show girls that not every guy is a prince charming. 95% of the time guys are most likely to abandon their child and have the mother raise it all by herself. So I commend Degrassi for doing that so it can be an eye opener for girls who are sexually active.

Connor Continues with LoveQueen16

I’m glad that Connor didn’t get hurt but in the real world there are tons of kids who do get hurt with interacting with their “online buddy.” It was total falsehood when Connor was able to get out the car; obviously most pedophiles lock the door so the kid won’t be able to get out the car. This one wasn’t a smart one as you can see.

Connor is big retard for not putting his vibes out there; I could even sense something wrong here. If it wasn’t for Dave and Wes to get there in time, before Connor actually went home with her, then Connor would’ve been in big trouble.

I would be proud to have friends that look out for you like that. They told Simpson so they can help you man and now you can see they were right. Sometimes friends can be right and sometimes they can be wrong but it’s always good to listen to other people.

Anya and Riley

I was wondering where this friendship went, it’s been ages since Anya and Riley hung out. She is one of the people that know Riley’s in the closet. I actually like Anya and Riley’s frienship better than Leia and Anya’s friendship it seems healthier.

Degrassi: My Body is a Cage prts. 1 & 2

Adam vs. “His Body”

We finally get introduced to Adam’s storyline in these two episodes. We find out that Drew is Adam’s stepbrother, so he is aware of Adam’s situation.

The difficulties that transgender kids face is serious and I love the way the writers incorporated that in this episode. Transgender kids get harassed everyday, only because kids just don’t like seeing “freaks.” If only they understood that we all have a little “freak” in us.

Adam’s cover was almost broken when he drops tampons in front of Claire and Owen and the guys. But, the nice girl that Claire is she passes it as her own. Obviously Claire is aware that something is wrong here so she confides in Eli. Adam reveals somewhat of his life to Eli and Claire. He’s a guy born into a female’s body and that he likes girls. Claire and Eli are fine with it and those are what you call true friends.

Adam was crushing on Bianca (seriously) and he begins flirting with her. But when Bianca shoves him and feels man boobs. Bianca rips his shirt and sees Adam is a girl. Honestly what Bianca did was messed up. How the hell do you violate someone and ripped their shit? That Bianca is one aggressive chick. Maybe she should be the one whose transgender, totally acts like a dude.

Owen and Fitz are jackasses who don’t respect anyone even “girls.” They know that Adam is technically a girl and they go and throw her against the wall, all because she wanted to use the men’s bathroom.

Adam vs. His Happiness

Adam’s cover is broken and of course there are repercussions that have to be dealt. Principal Simpson, to ensure Adam’s safety, is having Adam escorted to class and he needs to use the handicap restroom. Which is super embarrassing for a person to go through? Honestly sometimes Adults “think” (the operative word) they know what’s best for juveniles.

Adam’s mother wants Gracie back, and what mother wouldn’t. No mother wants to loose their little daughter even if they’re getting a son in return. So Adam must understand where his mother is coming from. But, at the same time the mother needs to be there for their children even if they don’t accept their choices. I was hurt when his mother uninvited Adam to the dinner but has an open invitation for Gracie. A mother can’t force their children to be something they don’t want to be.

Adam comes to the dinner but as Gracie. If I was Adam I would’ve gone to the dinner dressed as myself and tell my grandmother the truth, even if it would hurt her because she can’t keep living with this lie.

Adam has burn marks on her arm and he does the unthinkable which is burning himself in public. Luckily Claire finds him in time and stops him and gives his some advice that we all need. We all try to change ourselves for other people’s happiness but the one thing that matters is that we’re happy. If you change yourself for other people then you slowly loose yourself in the process and then what are you left with. You’re left with someone you don’t even know anymore.

Anya vs. Bad News

I’m skipping part 1 because I have nothing to say about prt. 1. This is strictly about prt 2.

A child hearing that their mother has cancer is very hard, and overwhelming especially on a teenage girl. I felt bad Anya because she’s a sweet girl who doesn’t deserve this (in fact no one deserves this). I get teary eyed whenever I see her face because I know it’s tough for her to deal with it.

I almost cried at the dinner scene when she freaked out at her parents for being okay with it. I know for a fact that Anya will regret it eventually because everybody always feels bad for treating someone like crap. I understand where Anya’s coming from, she’s freaking out and can’t understand why this would happen.

I got teary eyed when Anya was looking at the Pompeii project and setting it off. The music was beautiful and Samantha Munro delivered an excellent job in this scene. She just watched as the volcano erupted, not even thinking about the project and how it would get ruined. It’s sort of symbolic because Pompeii is a beautiful place that gets ruined because volcanic eruption. All these people had no idea what’s going on and the minute they realize what’s going on, they’re scared and panicking. That’s what sort of happened to Anya, she wasn’t expecting her mother to have cancer. Her life was okay and it fell apart when she heard her mother had cancer. So the Pompeii project was Anya’s life and the volcanic eruption is her mother having cancer. (That’s my opinion)

The scene with Holly J and Anya was nice, I love how from one moment Holly J goes from harsh to sympathetic. Holly J coming clean about her and Sav and Anya disregarding as if she had not heard what Holly J said was nice. Anya can’t focus on stupid crap like that she has to pay attention to her mother and only her mother. It will kill her if her mother dies and she didn’t get to spend time with her. So that was very smart of the writers, sometimes they do things for a reason.
