''Degrassi High'' is the third television show in the ''Degrassi'' series of teen dramas about the lives of a group of teenagers living on or near De Grassi Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It first aired from 1989 to 1991 and followed the young people from ''The Kids of Degrassi Street'' and ''Degrassi Junior High'' through high school. The show was filmed in downtown Toronto and at Centennial College. Much like its predecessor, ''Degrassi High'' dealt with controversial issues ranging from AIDS, abortion, abuse, alcoholism, cheating, sex, death and suicide, dating, depression, bullying, transgender identity, gay rights, homophobia, racism, the environment, drugs, and eating disorders. The show's impact on Canadian identity is discussed in the September 2007 issue of ''(Cult)u're Magazine''. ==Censorship== The first two episodes sparked controversy in the United States over the issue of abortion. The character Erica had scheduled an abortion and Canadian viewers saw the full non-edited episode where Erica battles her way through anti-abortion protesters, one of whom is holding up a plastic fetus and warning Erica, "Please don't do it, it's your last chance". The American version, which originally aired on PBS, was edited not to show the protesters and no final decision on whether to get the abortion was ever made. As of October 2005, the American broadcaster, The N, made the decision not to air episodes 101 and 102 "A New Start Parts 1 & 2" due to the subject of abortion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A New Start (1) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A New Start (2) )〕 The N made the decision not to air episode 103 "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" due to the references of the abortion made in the previous episode.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Breaking Up Is Hard To Do )〕 In Australia, all episodes originally aired unedited in their original run throughout the 1990s, but were censored when repeated on Nickelodeon Australia. The episode "A New Start" was edited in such a way that it appeared Erica was never pregnant by the end of the episode, abruptly ending after a joke between Wheels, Joey and Snake, although the scene of Erica reading her pregnancy test was kept as a still over the credits. The entire second episode was removed altogether, a similar situation that occurred with "Showtime Parts One and Two". These episodes deal with teen suicide. However,when the episodes were repeated in 2009 on ABC2, the original unedited episodes were shown, with the episodes (#25 Showtime part 1 and #26 Showtime part 2) featuring Claude Tanner's suicide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Degrassi High」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
