MTV Skins

Beside the actors and actesses being all underage do you think it makes teens want to do the stuff they do on that show or not?To me it does for no one is really facing any side efforts of using drugs and so on.What are your thoughts?

I think shows like Teen Mom inspires teens and young adults to try and have children at an early age. They see these 15 year olds and what not having and raising children, and think they can do it also.

I argee and because of that both shows should be not on tv anymore.

If you don't like it, don't watch the bloody thing. Why shouldn't it be on television...

I don't know about the American version, but the British original series is into its 5th series here, and it is well liked.

Welcome to the real world - teenagers have sex, take drugs, get drunk and so on.

If you have a problem with this sort of thing, don't watch Skins, quite simple isn't it.

i have seen a few shows.. the cast should take acting lessons

I just looked up MTV Skins and I didn't realize you were talking about an actual show. I was just mentioning MTV's Teen Mom, but I've never heard of Skins until now. Apparently the ratings haven't been doing so good here though.

I had stopped watching it after seeing one of them.My point is that it should be teaching teens a lesson on drugs and sex and not be pushing it on kids.

Why should it? it's not a documentary. Not the makers fault that their FICTIONAL show might influence some idiotic teenagers who can't think for themselves to copy the characters in the show.

Saying that, the British version of Skins shows negative effects of taking drugs and so on.

The American one should do that as well.And almost all teens are idiotics so that is not saying much.

True

Don't judge and lump teenagers together.

I am not just ones that I see at my job where they talk about drugs and who is doing who and makeout infront of everyone.It is hard to not call teens stupid when they act that way.

yea I know what you're saying, I was one of them

Well those are the teenagers at your work...

Teenagers have been doing all this kind of stuff before Skins came about.

Always blame the media...

I haven't seen more than the first episode...

It wasn't bad, it just that it was a faulty carbon copy of the original. the exact same plot and dialogue, just off... and highly censored

I've read the other episodes summaries, and they haven't stretch themselves far from the original plot at all, just some minor changes and characters (instead of traveling to Russia for a road trip, they go to Canada 😐 )... it makes it all bad...

It's a tame take on the original, and that's what makes it suck

That said, I can't believed the outrage the shows seems to be causing in the States... I think the original was airing in BBC America... but it seems North-Americans won't be able to stand it if you can't even take a water-downed version.

MTV should just canceled this bastardized version and continue airing the original... see if their audiences can take a 5+ year old show that's probably the cause why brits are all wrong 😛

I think I heard they were gonna make a movie, and the first generation will show up, can't wait for that 😄

What time is this shown on televisions in America, the remake series?

that depends, here in califronia mtv shows skins first at 7pm then again at 10 pm

7pm?! The original would never get shown at 7pm unless they cut A LOT out.

It's shown after the watershed here, the series that has just finished goes out at 10pm, it must be much tamer than the UK series, and people are still complaining about it?!

oh yeah its tame.. well you know how people complain about things when they have either not even watched it themselves or get on some sort of soapbox just to hear themselves talk

Hopefully it ruins the youth.
