Which my 17 year old high school daughter doesn't do, so why should they portray a teenager with Ds behaving that way. I'm so over the show, so I didn't see the gun episode. I do plan for Maddison to go to college (even though she is only 3)<br />Maybe they will fix the college thing for Becky and she'll get excepted or something. I was hoping they'd show Sue's baby more.... if they do,I'll be watching again...Denise Mom of 4 Amazing Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009921088636861496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-71011467236812296932013-04-15T17:02:52.969-04:002013-04-15T17:02:52.969-04:00I don't watch Glee, but now I never plan to.

I felt like they could have fleshed out Becky's concerns more instead of just getting a hug from Britney. The whole college thing annoyed me too because I kept thinking of Alex Bender who is on a quest to find a college program that fits for her. I felt like the show was equating Down syndrome with mental illness and that's not right. Yes some people with Ds have mental illness issues too, but not all and not even a majority. Sometimes I think Glee does the lump thing--lump everyone with this issue into one category which isn't fair because it often isn't true. <br /><br />I'm just not sure about Glee's intentions anymore, especially after earlier in the season when Finn called Sue's baby "retarded" and it wasn't EVER addressed again. I too was rooting for the show at the beginning because I thought it would do something big and important, but now, not so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913754866057778005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-23629493892701620522013-04-15T11:35:05.735-04:002013-04-15T11:35:05.735-04:00Yes!

I have not seen the episode yet - I'm way behind on my Glee-viewing, but I was disappointed in this story-telling choice.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211537058262061608noreply@blogger.com
