Most people remember their high school days as some of the most embarrassing years of their life. Where they were a big anxiety-filled balloon that could burst any second going through life without any idea what to do next. But as soon they get into adult life they can’t help but remember those days. When all they had to do was study a little and hang out with friends without worrying about what’s gonna happen tomorrow or how their next paycheck could be the difference between having some kind of social life or not. So, we made a list for you consisting of the shows that we think portray the most realistic version of high school and teen life.
