Now in series 5, Emma (Miriam McDonald), the teenage daughter of Degrassi Junior High alumnus Spike, (Amanda Stepto) and her schoolmates encounter the same pressures, temptations and issues that their parents' generation did.
Degrassi: The Next Generation explores the issues affecting teens as they struggle between being kids and being adults - be it a first kiss, coming to terms with new siblings in a recently blended family, or deciding whether or not to cheat on that French test.
