The show is based on real life situations that happens in real life and in high school. Throughout the show, it has mixed emotions so it makes it more interesting so it isn’t a boring uninteresting show. In seasons ten through fourteen, there are a lot of emotional situations that are extremely hard to watch without crying.

The most saddest events on the show were, when Adam Torres passed away during surgery from a car accident. When James Tiberius “J.T.” Yorke got stabbed to death outside Emma Nelson’s house on Liberty’s seventeenth birthday party. When Clare was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma “Sarcoma” cancer. When the Toronto Ice Hounds hockey superstar Campbell Saunders took his life from his depression.

Even though the show seems sad and depressing and may look lie it only deals with horrible situations, it doesn’t. There are very happy situations on the show, when everyone made it to graduation and graduated and see where they go after high school.
