I don't think what show it is should matter to us. If she is offended by it and finds it inappropriate for someone her age, then she shouldn't be forced to work on it.

But, it's interesting to me that both of those statements say stick to your guns and if your teacher doesn't support that, then get support from parents. I would hope my 14 y/o would come to me first as a parent and then approach the teacher.

Well, of course I talked to my parents. They always try to help. Oh, by the way, I'm a boy. Anyway, it's not about whether I'm too young for it. I'm always upset about how people think that being older means things have to be bad, morally wrong, use bad language, etc... It angers me so much on how everything is corrupted nowadays. From what I've heard from my group, it has some eh, inappropriate scenes, is about a, you know, kind of guy, and probably some other things. Also, you really don't need to know the show, you just need to know that I don't feel comfortable watching it, anyway, I have no choice right now.

as for the show... "inappropriate scenes"... meaning?... kissing, sex, murder, drugs?..... "is about a, you know, kind of guy"....? white guy?... religious guy?... promiscuous guy?... gay guy? actually i may know what show you are talking about. lol never seen it but saw a couple of commercials and thought "i wouldn't let my kids watch that" i agree the specifics of the show don't really matter.... i disagree that you have no choice. do your parents also think you have no choice? there is always a choice, sometimes that choice means taking a failing grade and contesting it later (which you can't do if you don't first talk to the teacher, the principle, etc). have you talked to the teacher about it?

Tayo, the only and I stress ONLY reason I asked what show was to help point you in the direction of some websites that can list detailed reasons why certain shows should not be watched by kids/teens. You know, with more detail than "inappropriate scenes" and "it's about a guy". By presenting a researched reason to your teacher, with your parents to back you up, particularly if you have a well-thought out alternative, you could get away from this project.
However, since it seems you have resigned yourself to doing it, then you're doing it. I still hold out the hope that you can type the name of the show and the word "inappropriate" into Google and find some research you can use to request an exemption based on religion and your youthful age, but it will only work if you do it.
