@AusllyRocks45 Why all the hate for Jessie? :D:D I respect your opinion, I just wanted to point out a few things: 1) most of the Disney stars are sub par actors, but I think arguably Debby is definitely one of the better ones. She has natural comedic timing. So does Calum on A&A. I think for a kid's show, she's pretty good. Have you watched Suite Life on Deck? She was great as Bailey. 2) My uncle works at a recording studio and I've actually heard auto tuned vocals before. The theme song is not auto tuned, but I agree that it kinda hurts my ears too. 3 & 4) Definitely true. I blame the writers. Actors can only go so far to bring a script to life. But the stories and episodes are still pretty amusing and interesting though. 5) What bad messages? (Legitimate question) The overall theme to me seems to be family values which isn't bad. Not trying to start a war or anything (so please don't sharpen your claws on my face ;P) but A&A is worse in terms of messages to kids because it has more recurring and frequent kissing and dating themes than Jessie. Because Jessie's cast is several children who can't be in relationships yet, I feel like they steer away from that and that makes the values more wholesome. 6) that's like only two episodes though :D it's a show about growing up. At least they're sort of tackling realistic issues and things which I appreciate in a kids show. Also, just a question: What do you constitute as inappropriate? To me kissing for about 8-11 seconds is more inappropriate than a throw away line about a bra *shrugs* maybe that's just me though. My little sister and I can watch Jessie together just fine, but she doesn't always wanna watch A&A cuz there's more kissing and talk about dating and relationships which makes her uncomfortable. 7) your opinion :) I respect that. Suggestion though? Have you seen some of the more recent episodes? They're really good. Maybe you should try more episodes? I think you'd like them :) Idk. I didn't like A&A at first but I watched more episodes and grew to like it! 8) it's not a full blown knock off of Suite Life, even though they both take place in a hotel. it's actually a "kid's version" parody of the Nanny, a 90s sitcom about Fran, a woman who ends up being the nanny of an upper class family whose kids have a bunch of problems. I think for an adaption made to fit 21st century and be acceptable for children, they've done a pretty good job.

In general for everyone, people getting married young is not an uncommon occurrence. Where I'm from, a lot of people get married right after college or in their really early 20s. I think people look at marriage as if it can only occur after a certain age, but marriage doesn't have a strict minimum age when it should happen. I'm not saying everyone should jump into marriage right away, it's just that if you know who you want to be with for the rest of your life, you've truly prepared yourself and thought long and hard about it, and you are ready to partake in the sacrament of matrimony, go ahead. Marriage doesn't deter any plans for college and jobs necessarily. Maybe I'm too old fashioned for being so young, but people in the past got married at much younger ages. What's the problem now? I know most people think that when you're younger, you're not yet a full responsible adult and that's why they think marriage at a young age is irresponsible, but hey, I mean some people really are mature by that age. Marriage to me is about commitment. And if someone's ready to commit, then that's fine. It's not like it's a monkey wrench in life plans. Delaying marriage just for the sake of delaying it because you're young doesn't do anything. :/ I wanna know your opinions, why do you think Jessie's wedding is sending a bad message to kids?
