“One thing is funny because my grandparents are going to come see the show and my mom was concerned that they wouldn't understand, because so much of it is Internet-based. Our generation specifically really relates to it, because we were the first people to discover the Internet and most of us can maybe navigate the Internet better than our parents can. All this information you could ever possibly know is right at our fingertips, not to mention the fact you can meet anyone!” PeopleKnowsFirstsFactsShowsParentGenerationsOne ThingInformationMomInternetConcernedMy MomRelateGrandparentNavigateOur GenerationFingertips Author:Sarah Steele
“You can go to these chat-lines. It's not hard it's really easy. Another thing the show makes clear is not talking about these issues is what leads kids to go on the Internet and find out the information themselves. And then they come across people like Mr. Healy wanting to meet them in the park. That's what leads to these kind of more-dangerous things.” PeopleKindHardShowsKidsEasyLinesTalkingIssuesClearDangerousInformationGoes OnInternetParksNot TalkingDangerous Things Author:Sarah Steele
“I'm taking a pretty light load. I'm doing well. Gideon and Jason are both in school too, so we find time between shows to get work done, and during the day. I really like Columbia. Unlike high school, I don't feel any pressure to get straight-As. I just like learning.” FeelsWellsDoneShowsLightSchoolHigh SchoolPressureLoadJasonWork DoneColumbiaGideon Author:Sarah Steele
“What makes me happy about the show, and what I hope people take away from it is: "Just be yourself." I know that's supremely corny, but I really think that just being honest with yourself and being honest with everyone around you is the best way to live.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWayShowsHonestBest WayBeing HonestBeing YourselfJust BeingCornyMake Me HappyWay To LiveJust Be YourselfHonest With YourselfBe Honest With Yourself Author:Sarah Steele
“In high school, people are sometimes encouraged to be like everyone else. What's so great about this show is that these kids are weird and different and over-achievers. They know what they want and they're going after it. They're weird and they don't deny it. That's what makes it special.” PeopleKnowsWantDifferentSometimesShowsKidsSchoolSpecialHigh SchoolDenyAchiever Author:Sarah Steele
