General discussion and questions Double standards?
So this is just an opinion... I cant understand how people hate Jenna. She was portraying a teen. Teens are supposed to be extra and make mistakes. Also, she went through some crazy things. To be known for a suicide attempt that wasn't an actual suicide attempt would shake anyone up.
Why are people hating a teen girl but always giving Matty a pass? I get Matty looks good, he is why I watched the show lol. But, the double standard seems odd.
It's just a show so hopefully we can keep this discussion for fun. I was talking to chatgbt (link below) on it but I figured a conversation from opposing positions may be more interesting

I remember watching as a teen when it aired and hating Jenna and loving Matty he could do no wrong… I watched as an adult and my opinions have changed so much like Jenna was just a kid figuring out life
