Ive gone through family issues like the ones present --my mom is alcoholic and ive nearly been removed from my home a few times. There arent any shows out there that I can relate to; so when i saw the pilot for this show last year, i was ecstatic. Im really glad that this show has increased awareness a bit concerning bad home situations. Its just a bonus that all the actors are superb. This is a great great show and i recommend it to everyone because chances are you can relate to it one way or another.

The Brand Ambassador (Jenelle Laws)

July 3, 2014

I bumped into this show late 2013 and I have went threw trials and tribulations to continue watching it. Friends house, online, netflix you name it. Being in a 8yr same sex relationship while becoming a foster parent this show has helped my process.I have become more drawn to this than the L word when I first came out about my life choices. I could go on for days on the benefits of this show, but honestly im just proud of a show of this standard and what is represents. Great job to all those involved.

This show makes you feel at home, and the way they bring social issues to life pulls us together. They aren't afraid of the "elephant in the room." Young people have sex. Let's deal with it. People have problems with drugs & alcohol and mess up lives. Let's deal with it. Multi-ethnicity and sexual identity. Suicide, mental illness, gun violence. Let's deal with it. Not point fingers or assign blame. Not throw in the towel or stew in anger. Let's learn how to deal with life on life's terms. Together.
