The Degrassi series has been tackling teen issues since the '80s with Degrassi Junior High and later Degrassi High. When Degrassi: The Next Generation premiered in 2001, viewers watched as a new Canadian class dealt with the ups and downs of being a teenager. Since Degrassi is a school that has some really bad karma -- there hasn't been a single dance that didn't end with a fire, crime scene, or prom queen wardrobe malfunction -- it's not surprising that so many of the kids dealt with intense problems during their time as students. This summer season we've already seen Ali stress over a pregnancy scare (the girl can literally split the atom but doesn't understand the necessity of a condom), Katie have a psychological breakdown, Clare deflect the advances of her sketchy older boss and newbie Ice Hound Cam deal with his social anxiety. While we're waiting for everyone on this season to pull themselves together, let's take a look back on some of the other issues that the students at Degrassi faced.
