The only thing I don't like as much is on season 1 you see Callie struggling in juvie, troubled and its true, and raw. It showed what the system can do to some kids. But now she's adopted and all the problems aren't as big. I'd like to see them go back to the beginning a bit

I highly recommend this show to anyone that has teenagers; doesn't matter boys or girls. It's showing real life realities and it makes them think about their lives in general as well as the adult. The world can be brutal but a little love for foster children can make all the difference in a young child's life or a teenagers. Showing someone you care can make a mountain of difference. Enjoy!
