A few years ago, a Utah mom was very upset with me for writing something praising a TV show for its somewhat accurate portrayal of high school kids.
That was absolutely not true, she told me, because some of the teenagers in that series swore, drank, took drugs and had sex. And, that mom assured me, none of that EVER happened with ANYONE in the high school her children attended.
