ABC Afterschool Specials well Some are sad others are great. Some I could not relate with. Watching people do stupid things was hard to watch. But hey others where great. The Scott Baio drunk driving episode with the sad injury at the end with Scott diving high school match was memorable. The episode with the spoiled kid in the inner city lock up who gets stabbed over a chair episode shows how high school stupidly can cause normal life to a tragic at light speed was burned into my mind The most memorable episode was the high schooler who starting to hang out with the wrong crowd. A good kid who started with making a friend who hung out with the wrong crowed the first bad choice. Not a big problem but then starts which got the teenager into drinking, and then drugs; Another bad choice! Then stealing his dad's whiskey bottle to fit in, just getting gradually worse life choices. The teenager could of stopped here, and listen to his dad and caring family and just be a bad spot in the boys life. Regrettable, the teenager rebuked his fathers advice and caved into peer pressure! The drugs cause and effect for need of cash created a moment where the hard core friend asked if the teenager was cool meaning is he up for bad things and the guy said yeah and I just yelled to the kid on T V don't do it. The choice was his to walk away. In the end, a robbery did not work out, and the Teenager yelled dad help me behind bars as the Father says sorry it's out of my hands. These episode hit me hard. My dad watched a few of these episodes and this is true to real life. Strong words for a man who seen tons of insurance claims. Afterschool Specials always interests the young viewe, with a story which is interesting, and related to the viewers young life.. Probably good lessons on making right choices. 6 stars.
