The TV show One Tree Hill is basically a soap opera for teenagers. All kinds of crazy stuff goes down on this show, and laws don't seem to apply in this town.
1. Peyton lives alone.
Peyton's dad works abroad, and is only actually home for just a couple of episodes, leaving a minor alone for months and months at a time. In reality, child protective services would be all over that. Especially after Peyton gets a stalker, you'd think that some kind of adult home supervision would be required. Apparently not.
2. Brooke lives alone.
Seriously, so many neglected minors in this town. Throughout the show, Brooke goes from living with no supervision, to moving in with Peyton (who lives alone), to living with Rachel (again, alone).
3. Skills, the walking stereotype.
He does nothing but play basketball, and he ends every sentence with the word "dawg". Is there any actual purpose to this guy? No, not really.
4. Getting married and having a baby in high school is easy and a good idea.
First of all, according to OTH, if you're in love with someone, just marry them. It'll work out. Also, Nathan and Haley seem to have have no problem getting someone to watch their kid so they can go to school and parties. He still plays basketball, and she's still a cheerleader. Apparently, having a baby in high school does not change your life in any way. Also, let's not forget the fact that Haley basically married Nathan so they could have sex, #judgingyou.
5. Everyone finds success right away.
I totally support showing characters on TV working super hard and having that hard work pay off. But seriously, Haley sings at the cafe and suddenly she's headlining a sold out world tour? Then, when the show moves forward, all of the characters are super successful in their dream jobs, pretty much right out of high school.
6. Calling the police isn't important.
Through blackmail, crazy stalkers, and even murder, no one ever calls the police. Instead, everyone just tries to take care of these things themselves, and they they maybe will call the police after all the stuff does sown. Why?
This show is absolutely ridiculous, but I have to admit, I still love it!
