I’m not going to go on about how unrealistic it is to have teens solving mysteries or becoming vampires; we know to suspend our belief to a reasonable extent and, hey, we’re going to watch Riverdale anyway. But there are so many TV shows and movies that claim to reflect teen life in a way that just isn’t actually the case IRL.
from skam to skins, we’ve got you covered.
There are so many TV couples out there who are vastly overrated, especially on teen TV shows which have a tendency to try to make us swoon over some of the most problematic dynamics ever.
Still, there’s still something endearing about watching teen shows, whether you’re living through them or those days are over. There’s a huge lack of teen shows that are actually realistic, though. I’m not just talking about all those supernatural shows about teen vampires and werewolves, because those are unrealistic from the jump. But other shows that try to convince us that we’re just watching a bunch of average teens are a damn joke.

Teen shows can get a bad rap, but sometimes it’s justified. So many teen shows are just too glossy, full of 28-year-olds masquerading as 15-year-olds who never seem to have a hair out of place. That’s such an unfortunate reputation to have because coming of age TV shows are some of the best TV shows around, period. The good ones are honest, raw and sometimes a little too familiar for comfort.
And too often it’s the good ones–especially the ones that don’t feature ridiculously hot people–that sometimes aren’t given the love that they deserve.
But let’s try to change that. Get a new tab open and start streaming these nine teen TV shows you have to watch before you turn 18. Of course, if you’re over 18 you should totally watch them, too! But if you aren’t, don’t leave your teen years without watching some of the most formative, relatable TV shows ever.
