How accurate is this show's representation of British teens?

Their teeth is too good and the women don't look inbred. Unrealistic as fuck.

Based on that series and Misfits looks like there's no way of being a virgin after the age of 16 there.

>>87666584
>happy nice looking black guy
>angry mean looking white guy
what did they mean by this?

>>87666584


Britain has a very low proportion of hot people compared to the US.

>>87666584
Man I miss this show

I might rewatch for some depressed feels

Childhood is thinking you're Sid. Adulthood is realizing you were really Cassie

probably better to ask this question when the brits are awake

>>87666584
pretty accurate. Britt kids are fucked up

>>87666584
>a nigger
>a curry nigger
>a gaggle of barely clothed thots
I'd say it's spot on, mate.

>>87667111
Childhood is idolising Tony.
Adolescence is idolising Chris.
Adulthood is realising Mad Twatter made sense.

Season 1 is kinda accurate in that teenagers like to party and shit, but after that it veers off into unrealistic tumblr shit

its a known fact in the american military that British chicks are totally into butt suff. Finger in the bum,analingus, spankings, getting fucked in the ass..they're all into it.. Whats up with that? Why so much shit that involves ass?

>>87666584
>they made a volume 4

What the fuck how could anyone make it past 3

>>87667009
truly the greatest psy-op of our time, normies will never even notice like us redpills will

>>87667424
they have made 7 volumes

>>87667111
Childhood is thinking you're Sid. Adulthood is knowing you're a grown up Sid.

Too few BASED BLACK MEN to be realistic.

Lived in Bristol my entire life. Still a virgin at 24.

>Do you guys actively avoided parties and clubs?
I was 'that guy'. I don't know why I ended up such a social retard, but I did. I was fine in primary school but something went horribly wrong along the way. I did get invited to parties and stuff around 15 but when sixth form started it was all over. I posted in another Skins thread about how people I hung out with and shared classes with made minor appearances in the show and how watching it makes me sad.

No point, mate. At my age, if you haven't got the basics down, you're fucked. By the time I manage to develop social skills (which I never had, hence why I was such a loser), get a job that pays slightly more than minimum wage, and get the motivation to try and get laid, I'll be approaching 30 and I don't see the point in that. Someone I knew was having sex and worked at a McDonald's at 16. I'd be LUCKY if I managed to pull that off in my mid-20s. It's already over, my dude.

>>87668972
so which part of the show are inaccurate?

kaya is extremely fucking high test

>>87669080
Well in my experience no one I know got kidnapped & murdered.

Besides, the Muslim guy never stabbed anyone in the course of the series.

I've heard the Bongs really love their Mandy and pills. What is drug culture like in the UK? Is it as intense as it seems to be?

Listen to this man, is a pretty good advice also, avoid women where theres too many guys and few girls (mma gyms or gyms in general, gaming related places or comic stores, etc) they usually come with issues, that being said if you are out of shape you still need to work on that.

>>87669263
MKat was big for a while but then it died off, it was dirty as fuck anyway but dirt cheap

Thanks for the advice but doing all that just to get laid seems like a big mistake and a surefire way to end up extremely disappointed. Every time I do something social I go to bed feeling terrible about myself. I think I'll just hire an escort instead. Thank God for NEETbux.

>>87669074
Do what I did at 23 as a virgin, go to Thailand. First trip did a hooker, 2nd trip found an actual (chubby) girl who liked me, you could say I lowered my standards but meh. Now I'm for the most part content with no gf & zero sex life... Some days I think what if, and have a little hope but I try to focus on other things that make me happy if I can help it.

What did they mean by this?

By the way /ourlazyeye/ Thomas Turgoose was with Kilo Ren and Ed Sheeran in GoT.

>>87669417
I also tried to be more social and even faked confidence, couldn't keep it up and ended up feeling dreadful. I realised that changing yourself to fit in or get certain people to like you is never gonna work out in the end. This was something I did after getting into shape too.

It's well known as being completely inaccurate - the entire appeal was the surreal fantasy.
https://youtu.be/XWcpkNbIJZg?t=1m57s

Looking back on it now BBC3 completely fucked youth culture in the 00s.

>>87669263
Never seen pills in England, usually we just bomb it.

MDMA is still popular, maybe a bit of Ket until someone falls in a k-hole. It depends on where you go, cities like Leeds and Manchester are famous for drugs.

This teleseriekinography makes me both glad and envious that my life isn't as eventful as the characters' were.

Sometimes I trip a little krokodil if I'm feelin wiggy, otherwise I blow straight sherm brick

Apart from the spray painting on the walls at parties it wasn't far off, though obviously they distilled lots of different experiences into a dozen or so mates.

Only Effy is hot in it though.

Cause the white dude was a fucking hooligan, and the black dude was an immigrant kid living on his own, he was nice.

Are you complaining

The show is pretty much on the money. I dated an 8/10 qt 16yo for a few months, I was 30 (completely legal in the UK) ask me anything.

Childhood is thinking Tony was a prick.
Adulthood is realising he did nothing wrong.

>>87669488
...Christ

>>87666584
Pretty accurate, I had a mixed sex friendship group and we'd shag each other pretty often, one of my m8s was from a rough area and his brother was a casual drug dealer so we got up to quite a lot of weird shit during parties.

At one party I fucked a girl, then later on convinced her best friend to suck me off. An hour or so later I convinced my best friend to trade blowjobs with me, with him going first, then ran away when he finished and locked myself in the bathroom. It was pretty gay but I was off my face, good times.

>>87666584
not accurate at all. i never had sex, never went o parties, never did drugs. i spent all my teenage years friendless and sitting in my room playing video games.

>>87666584
I've had most my friends say over the summer "our group is exactly like where in skins"
So its a fairly accurate representation

how lol

>>87667009
its the uk mate, black people outside of london are well integrated members of society. its the muzzies you have to watch out for.

>>87666584
apart from >>87666880 which is pretty excusable for a tv show, it was an accurate, if slightly romanticised, portrayal of my life as a teenager. I was socially very anxious until I discovered that drugs could transform me into an aggressive socialite, which I think is a realisation a lot of us had. Watching skins now does make me feel nostalgic for my drug-addled years, but I'm glad I don't do that shit anymore.

As an aside, if you want an 100% honest portrayal of british teenage life minus the drugs, it doesn't get more kino than The Inbetweeners.

>>87666584
>they never that movie with the original cast
I heard the finale was complete shit and considering how terrible Skins got after the 2nd cast, no thanks.

What happened to Sid?

So did Tony want to fuck Effy or what? That's what they were hinting at, right?

>>87680421
There always was at least a nigger and a homosexual every season. There are ambiguously brown characters here and there, and there was a Muslim Paki for 2 seasons. What they really lacked was asian chracters - from southeast asia/east asia, because in the UK Indians and Pakistanis are considered Asia.

>>87680755
*are considered Asians.
Desi are classified as Asians in the UK

Can confirm Inbetweeners is a lot more accurate.

>>87680716

this series is shit

>>87681446
that's because you have PARTICULAR problems with PARTICULAR social skills

>>87682131
actually he was supposed to be hot shit, like a mary sue. but hes just so fucking weird that nobody treats him how you think they should

>>87682131
Tony was supposed to be a chad what are you on?

Watching this when I was a part of its key demographic was a demoralizing experience. Seriously, there was nothing more depressing than watching this show and thinking no matter how fulfilled my life was at that point it only served to show me how much I was missing out on. Obviously kids weren't all doing what they were doing but it made you think different.

I remember cook smoking a joint and downing a pint just before class. I thought I was a loser.

>>87682234
Tony was a dicklet; Abigail told Sid he was better in sex than Tony was after all
Also Tony is a faggot

Yeah the show's mostly bullshit. You always get people on /tv/ who tell you their adolescence was like that, probably because they went to a party once and smoked a spliff.

>>87682290
>Portrayed to be very intelligent
>Good looking

>Implying Tony was even trying to please her and not just himself

lost my virginity at 13 we're disgusting lad

The actual answer is that it's a show aimed at teenagers and it's basically what they wish their lives were like.

>>87667424
>they made a volume 4
>What the fuck how could anyone make it past 3
I believe the last one was just a bunch of disconnected episodes where they do like a "10 years later" and tie up loose ends for a couple characters that didn't get a resolution in the main show. IIRC they did one for Cassie and Cook.

>>87682131
>Tony is supposed to be a loser virgin
How the hell did you get that? Prior to The Incident, Tony is portrayed as the coolest kid in school. He dates the most popular girl, wins at everything... hell, kids from a younger class in part 2 initially greet effy with "OMG aren't you TONY'S sister!?"

Literally his whole character arc is about learning how to not be such an asshat all the time.

>>87667009
> that episode where the black guy finds out he got cucked by the white guy

Something as daring as this would never fly in the current television climate.

>>87667111
Cassie was one of the most interesting characters in this show, the only reason why I am even watching 7 seasons of this.

>>87666584
British women are bunch of slags. No doubt they get raped by Muslims day in and day out

>>87684621
I liked J.J. in the first half of his episode. Outside of his episode he is basically a different character and in the second half he just goes full autism and fucks a girl like in that stupid Netflix autismo show.

>>87684598
>UK generation 1 is the only skins that fucking matters
Def the best, no argument there.

>>87684621
>the only good gen 2 character is cook, even effy is shit in it
Yeah, agreed, the second group was weak af. Even Cook is just a meme character - he just happens to be an entertaining one. Third group brought it back a bit, with a couple characters you could actually be bothered to care about.

>>87667424
volume 4 as in the second half of generation 2, so the first part of skins 3 is volume 5

Pretty accurate. The only ones who ask that question and chalk it up to "Hollywood" are lonely NEETS trying to comfort themselves.

>>87666584
skins is more accurate for the top 20% of british teens
inbetweeners (season 1) is more accurate for the bottom 30%

most people like to pretend that their sixth form years were like skins though

>>87682242
I was a loser and still smoked a joint first thing in the morning right before class. I think about that with regret though. Trying to be cool as a teenager isn't worth it, everyone is secretly miserable and trying to forget the endless void in their heart.

I remember an episode where Effy's art teacher was talking openly about oral sex to her class. Is it normal for British teachers to mention topics about sex that casually in front of students?

>>87670716

>>87686770
My maths teacher was once on the phone to a friend during class & basically told us all she really enjoyed getting fisted kek.

>tfw no Inbetweeners sequel

>>87686770
I never had it, my teachers were all incredibly awkward whenever anything close to sex was mentioned

>>87668949
That's bullshit advice 2bh. I'm successful in pretty much everything, but I'm unattractive and don't have the sort of personality that lets me work past it.

So I treat every relationship as professional or friendly, but none as flirty because I don't know how to do it. Whatever really, I'll spend more time working than I ever will with girls anyway.

s1 and sort of still in s2 of skins this is obvious. It was with the next gen starting in s3 that they pretended it was a real teen drama and not a kind of surrealist project. s1 especially was supposed to be silly, you weren't meant to take it seriously, it was pretty much satire.

Not accurate at all
