Tween Fans Called Gleek Can Not Wait For New Episodes of Racy Fox Show
Glee tells tweens it is OK to be different. It invites kids to embrace the diversity of skills and beauty traits that exists among them. In other words, it is telling them it is OK to be nerdy and enjoying Broadway Show tunes instead of football in high school. While some parents may frown on the portrayal of the show that it is OK to be gay in high school (remember that last story that had Kurt in it?) Glee appears to be about acceptance/ The show is telling kids that it is not cool to bully others. The show openly discusses icky issues such as teenage pregnancy, losing virginity, bath tub ejaculating, gay issues, geeky, nerdy characters and more.
For sure, Glee is not High School Musical, South Pacific, HairsPray, Light in the Piazza and others. It is not like the Disney fare. It is beyond that.
The show allows parents to start discussing difficult issues such as drugs, alcohol, sex, with their children. It has good characters and serious topics which keep tweens as well as parents glued to the tube. Many viewers are glued to their TV set whenever this show is on. Glee gets into life's messiness.
