Wednesday night's episode of Glee once again proved why the show is so widely popular. Sure, there were the predictable angry rants from Sue. But there was also emotion, creative storytelling, and the belief that these 20-something actors could actually be mistaken for high school students. Over the years, countless TV shows have depicted teenage life through the lens of adult actors. Adult actors that look as if they should be college alumni. Glee, however, has been awarded with both Emmys and Golden Globes for breaking this cycle. Yes, the actors are adults but they transform themselves into believable teenagers. From love triangles to high school bullying to the geeky Glee club, this show doesn't just create a mirror of high school life...it reflects the taboos often left silent in real high school hallways.
