Skins

The shows Skins is based on the real lives of teenagers, the show first started in Britain but now moved to America. The show is known to be sketchy and promiscuous. When the show aired in America, Monday night for 3 million viewers, it got a lot of criticism for being to vivid on teen sex and drug use. Many people say that MTV has gone too far with this show, and that its shouldn't be aloud on TV. Though it seems risky to many, MTV claims to have taken all the steps to make sure it’s not breaking any rules.

Honestly, I like the show and it makes me laugh. Skins might be a little risky, but that’s the kind of shows teens want to watch, not shows like SpongeBob, 19 kids and counting, Toddlers in Tiara’s or Swamp people. We like something fun that maybe some of us can relate too. The show might be giving kids ideas about drugs, but maybe they are just trying to show them what happens when you do drugs and some of the consequences. I think that if it weren’t for this show or other MTV shows showing what actually happens in the world, kids locked up in their room playing World of Warcraft would never know. Expose your children to what’s really going on, put down the books and watch Skins.

Everyone has their own opinion, but this show gets a thumbs up from me. Tell me if you like the show or not by commenting!
