Reply to People who suffer from anxiety issues, which TV shows you wish you could watch but can't because it triggers your anxiety? by Uthrar

I refuse to watch clips (on TV or on youtube) of parents pranking kids. The kids are literally being provoked into crying, but if the kids do start crying people consider the kids brats. And if the kids do "forgive" their parents the kids are praised for being "raised well". I really don't like to be made fun of and am expected to just sit there, and I don't like the same being done to kids.

13 Reasons Why. A character kills themselves. I don't want to compare my life with a character who committed suicide and think "wow, my life sucks compared to their life!"

True story: I was banned from The Wonder Years (1988) because in the pilot, Kevin "does something that is bad". Yes, in the pilot, he throws an apple into the cafeteria. Which is a very disrespectful act.

Immediately after he throws the apple as in literally the next scene, he is in a meeting the principal with his mother. Let me repeat this: our main character does something that is bad and there are immediate consequences to doing the bad thing. Which is literally a good thing to teach kids: "if you do something bad, you immediately get punished".

I don't know how my mother thought the show was promoting bad behavior. Sometimes a character does something bad but negative consequences happen at the end of the episode (there was a later Wonder Years episode where Kevin starts cheating in class and is he is placed in an advanced class and is overwhelmed at the end of the episode) but this was a case of "character does something bad and immediately faces negative consequences".
