E4: Stop Treating Me Like A Kid, First Episode
E4s much hyped new show ‘Stop Treating Me Like A Kid’ launched on Tuesday of this week and people have very clear opinions on the show already.
One of the best blog posts I’ve came across about the show is over at RPG’s Blogfest. Rpg believes that the show producers have managed to capture every part of teenage society with their choice of subjects. He goes on to say:
Fashion girl,
Emo lad,
Dumb blonde girl,
Posh Blairite girl,
Manc Chav lad,
Mouthy black lass,
Essex ‘rudeboy’.The one I feel sorry for the most is the Manc chav, despite being only 14 or something and clearly having a drinking problem he’s quite pleasant when not at the family home and really wants to change his life. It became abundantly clear why he is like he is though when his mum did her piece to camera and started with “I knew Johnny would never amount to anything� and generally bad mouthing him. He’s just got a job on the show as a farming hand, so I’m quite interested now if he actually turns his life around from this, or he goes back into old habits over time.
Although, I think the funniest one in the show is the “home schooled� posh lass. Her hero is Tony Blair and covets a signed photograph of him… ohhh dearrr…
What did you all think of the show? Feel free to leave your comments here.

I think the show is a perfect opportunity for teens to show their parents that they can be responsable and independant and they can look after themselves.I would love to be on the show and if I knew how to, I would!

:/ Yeah. How cute is Elliot. :] I wouldnt say he was proper emo, but hes a good kid. His dad is hard on him but its done him really well, he seems like a really nice person. :] He tries hard to live like an adult, and he shouldnt have to go!! Hope hes not too ill now to leave! I’d probably stop watching it if he did. How cute, I love him I do

I’m routing for Johnny!!
It just goes to show you can’t judge a book by its cover, over all Johnny is a good lad and imo has made the biggest changes and achievements in the show. He most certainly deserves to go all the way in the show. I hope Johnny can keep up the excellent progress that he has made. Good Luck Johnny, keep it up mate!!

hi loved the stop treating me like a kid programme hope they follow up at a later date, Jonny was got the best results out of this, and his boss at the work shop really helped him felt his upsets especially when he had to leave he has lots of emotions which i did not think i would have seen from this young guy, shame Jonny and his family could not move to benefit all…hope to hear how he goes on, has anyone got any photos of him? apart from the channel 4 main picture, wish him well if anyone has details how he is going on or if Jonnys reading this he can get intouch and coment
