Teen Years Series: TV Shows!

These are some MUST WATCH TV series for your teen years. (Mostly for females- but hey, guys might like these shows too.)

1.     Dawson’s Creek
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you’re thinking it’s an older series, but so worth watching! Yes it has the inevitable love triangle and a whole lot of messy strings and relationship problems. However it is all about the experiences of growing up everything from first love, one so pure and magical it can’t be forgotten to a messy love triangle to finding ‘the one’ to losing friends and grieving. It deals with being different, first sexual encounters, moral decisions, homosexuality and diversity. This is honestly one of my all time favourite series! I must warn you though if you watch this be prepared to laugh, to cry and to get super frustrated at certain points.

2.     Beverly Hills 90210
Okay, another older series, however I love my ‘retro’ as some people would call it series.  Again this series is about growing up. High school, college and I think the series even continues after that. Puberty, relationships, losing friends, learning, making mistakes and everything else that is part of being a teen. I haven’t watched the entire series however I do still love it.

3.     90210 (the newer version)
I thought I’d chuck this one in here too as it follows the same things but in a more modern situation. I actually never got into this series or at least this version of it, however I thought it deserved a mention.

4.     Gossip Girl
Yes another one following teens through high school and college. However this time it’s a slightly different situation as they are ‘rich’ and have other influences and issues in their day to day lives. Also because they have the antagonist of ‘gossip girl’ in their day to day lives so no secret is safe. I love gossip girl however I haven’t yet actually finished it as I have the last season to catch up on.

5.     Sex and the City
Okay, so aimed at a slightly older audience, however it is one of those shows that’s great for when you just need to stay in bed with ice cream and have a girlie day. Plus it’s just too amazing to leave out of this list.

6.     Girls
Probably one of the best shows for girls! Funny and sad and all emotions in between! This quirky show takes a different approach with girls who are still in-between children and adults and the things they face each day. Honestly this series was nothing like what I expected I guess I expected something more like Dawson’s or Gossip Girl but this took it to a whole other level!

7.     Seventh Heaven
Amazing! Pure and light-hearted show. Follows a family growing up and changing and the events that occur in their lives. Really easy to watch.
