Video Description

please consider supporting the channel on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/blackteanosugar teacher-student romances are a recurring theme in many (way too many) teen TV shows and they are often portrayed in a dramatic and overly glamorous way. so today’s video is precisely about that, let’s look at how and why student-teacher relationships are romanticised in teen media; trace this theme across YA and NA books, and also take a fresh look at some of the TV shows to see if their portrayal of these relationships has changed over time. ‼ TRIGGER WARNINGS: grooming, manipulation, SA, statutory grape, predatory behaviour ‼ SPOILER WARNINGS: this video contains spoilers for the following shows: Riverdale Season 1, the entirety of Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl Season 2, The O.C.
