"Degrassi: The Next Generation" takes place 14 years after the cult hit show "Degrassi Junior High" as students continue to deal with the obstacles of being a teenager. From issues like relationship problems, homosexuality and bullying to more darker issues like rape, school shooting and death.

The young denizens of Degrassi Street in Toronto, Canada, have graduated from two television series, The Kids of Degrassi Street and Degrassi Junior High. Degrassi High confronts life as teenage high school students during the heady, late 1980s. This sometimes-controversial series confronts serious issues (adolescent pregnancy, AIDS, suicide) in a head-on way.

Hailed as "groundbreaking," "powerful," and "totally authentic," Degrassi Junior High confronts it all - friendship, puberty, rumours, sports, studies, and more - with a refreshing ensemble cast and a unique teen's-eye-view of life. Sometimes moving, sometimes shocking, but always believable, Degrassi Junior High is a classic for teens of all ages.
