As a teen, I was a shy, awkward dork with bad skin and no idea what to do with my hair or what clothes looked good on me. I definitely wasn't getting laid! The friends of mine who did have sex weren't going out and hooking up at parties because we partied together as a friend group and that's not an environment conducive to no-strings-atrached hookups. They had sex with people they were dating (even if those relationships were ill-advised and/or didn't last long). I had friends who smoked but no one ever offered me a cigarette. No one ever offered me drugs and the only person I can recall offering me alcohol before I was old enough was my grandmother.

It's not always down to teens making choices between "good" and "bad" behavior or being too busy to do the "bad" things. Sometimes certain opportunities just don't present themselves. The "true" teen experience can be a lot of different things and that's just the way it worked out. I wouldn't mind a show about teens who aren't purposefully trying to be "good" all the time, but can't find many opportunities to be "bad." (Although I still wouldn't watch it because I'm just not interested in shows about teens since it's been 20 years since I was one.)
