8 Shows That Aren't Completely Out of Touch With High-School Life Today

OK, this one is a stretch — but hear us out. Ryan Murphy's iconic musical is set in a small Midwestern city and follows an unpopular, but musically talented, group of misfits who are forced together when they sign up for their high school glee club. Glee gives us a more realistic taste of a normal high-school student body by incorporating disabled students, LGBTQ+ kids, and many students of color. Although the series has a touch of TV magic (I mean, how many Broadway-worthy singers can really exist in the same high school?), it does accurately capture the behavior and everyday problems of regular teens.
