Okay, maybe this article does talk about a teen show, Degrassi. But the heart of it is about transgender teens. I don't think I've heard of any other show willing to even touch on this topic. A lot of people fail to realize the difference between gender and sex. If more shows like this one would talk about the issue I feel like it would help a lot.
It amazes me how strict some gender roles can be. I hate the fact that girls are looked at weirdly for wanting to play football or guys are looked at differently for liking fashion. More exposure, please! Let others follow the trend that Degrassi sets and start tackling these issues. Many times people don't know how to sympathize because they don't have good examples to see (enter television!).
