High school drama never gets old and it lives on in television and teen shows which are loved by most people.Teen shows have been the rage since the 90s and have always been an important part of television in general. These coming of age shows have a huge impact on the youth watching them and through the years there have been some good teen shows that have portrayed the struggles of being a teenager really well and have resonated with the audience watching them. These are some of the best teen shows that have aired in the past decade and have won the hearts of viewers.

One Tree Hill

This is one of the few teen shows that resonated so much with high schoolers and transitioned easily between drama, romance, comedy and often tragedy. Two step brothers Lucas and Nathan Scott are more than just rivals on the basketball court and have many things in common, including the girl they love. The characters on this show go through a lot and it is only after almost six seasons that the show loses its grip as the characters we loved as teens grow up to be rather dull as adults.

Gilmore Girls

This show gave us one of the best parent-offspring relationship that has ever been portrayed on television. The show is simply timeless and gives you a relatable account of a teenager struggling with high school, relationships and her mother. This is not an over the top drama but a subtle and deep show that will make you feel good and binge it season after season.

Gossip Girl

This show portrays the lives of the rich and privileged and often spoiled rich high school kids of the upper east side of New York. You may not relate to these kids and their problems but you will definitely be entertained and would like to know more about this side of high school. The two rich girls Serena and Blair Waldorf have some crazy adventures and relationships and the most happening high school lives.

Awkward

This is a good relatable teen show for all awkward teens and adults who had a pretty embarrassing and weird high school life. The show follows the life of Jenna Hamilton who becomes famous in school because of an attempted suicide that she did not want to do. The show gives a relatable female experience and follows the struggles of a girl who is just trying to survive day after day in a jungle called high school.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

A modern and more recent take on teen angst is the Netflix show ‘chilling adventures of Sabrina’ that is a spooky and horror themed teen show that follows the life of Sabrina Spellman who is a high school student and also a half witch. This show is refreshing as it has a different approach to the usual coming of age stories.  The casting is great and the storyline is very interesting as the supernatural elements add an extra layer to the show.
