Imogen, Riley, Wesley, Peter, Alex, Paige, Adam, Esme, Holly J, Leia.
For me it’s
If you disagree that’s fine, you can share your opinions/responses (politely).
I’ve seen DNG and DNC, but have yet to see any of the older series. I’m wondering if it’s worth the watch or not.
I don’t think I’m like any of these characters (it’s obvious by the results), but here’s the link if you wanna take the quiz. 🙂↕️
I would honestly choose Eli, Clare, and Adam and also Fiona, Imogen, and Becky.
(I know Becky wasn’t friends with Fiona, but you get the point) 🙂↕️
Who are your favorite and least favorite characters on Next Class and why?
If I had to choose Miles would be my favorite and Zoe would be my least favorite. If you disagree lmk why instead of complaining.
I don't really love any of them sorry. 🙂↕️ And, yes I'm judging these characters based off their actions in DNG too. Lmk how you would rate them and if you disagree why.
Edit: I could see myself changing Shay to okay or kinda like but I feel that's the only change I'd make on this list.

So, I've been having issues with my friends regarding hanging out. I have always been the one in the group to initiate, plan, and schedule the hangouts. It's gotten to the point where they don't even bother to help me plan out these hangouts. And it's been bothering me for a long time.
Our last hangout was a disaster btw. We were going to the mall, and they were supposed to be there at 3:00, but they came 30 minutes late with no heads-up. They didn't even tell me on their way that they were gonna be late. I had to text them asking if they were there yet. I waited in the car because I don't like waiting at places alone. It was to the point where my parents were gonna drive me back home because they weren't there, so I had to spam them asking if they were there yet to finally get a response saying they're here. Then they finally said they were here and I asked them where are they because like I said I don't like being in places alone and they just didn't respond. I waited 5 minutes before going inside by myself just to see ALL of them there staring at their phones, yes we had a good time after all of that but I was fuming so badly.
I eventually confronted them and told them about the issue and how it's affecting me. (Not just this one hangout, but just in general they've been doing things that bother me regarding this topic) I'm not trying to be that overbearing friend who needs attention 24/7 but, what do you mean you want to hang out, but won't do any of the work to make it happen? When asking for hangout ideas they only gave me 2 ideas: going to each other’s houses and fishing. I’m the only one in the group who can’t go to people’s houses.. Also, I understand that they have lives outside of me and that it doesn't revolve around us hanging out all the time, but that doesn't excuse their lack of effort. One of them responded and it was such a bland response something along the lines of “maybe some people don't want to hang out! Not me tho” “I was gonna make an idea board, I GUESS me not responding is an issue.” Not that I need them begging for my forgiveness or anything but this response just seemed extremely insensitive to me. I never forced anyone to hang out, and if they didn’t want to hang out they shouldn't entertain my ideas, they could just say no. My other friend explained why it had happened and apologized and told me about their father being slightly disabled so he can't drive too far or move a lot which I completely understand and respect.
But, not too long after I told them about this, they invited the gc to their house knowing I can’t come, and my other friend went to an amusement park with another friend which is 6 HOURS away from where we lived. Despite them saying that their parent couldn't go out too far. Of course, they probably had their friend’s parent do the driving but it pissed me off that they used that as an excuse. They also said that we should call sometime to schedule a hangout they never did. And the one time we called this entire summer was because I initiated it. They asked to call again last weekend, they never did. They probably would’ve had I asked but I shouldn’t have to remind them to do something THEY invited me to do. And the reason I haven't said anything about the recent stuff is that I'll sound like a control freak if I do. I don't want to force hangouts, but I'm convinced they don't want to hang out with me despite them saying it’s not true. I just wish they'd actually say something. Then my friend is like “let's actually put effort this time \^\^” and they actually listened to them, but they don't listen when I say something. Btw, they didn't do anything after that text they just agreed.
It's honestly gotten to the point where I want to stop reaching out entirely, and no longer hang out with them. I might only talk to them at school, but I don't know if that's too far. Please let me know what I should do and if I'm in the wrong.

I GUESS I can get why people can enjoy watching him, since people like characters who bring drama to the show so it makes the show entertaining for them to watch, but the idea of people genuinely liking his character itself is just mind boggling. He’s a really shitty person with NO redemption whatsoever. So one of the reasons I don’t like him is because of his casual homophobia which no one talks about. He would tease Dylan and Marco and make snarky comments like “Don’t drop anything in front of homochuck” and he also called Marco queer during the student council election. His homophobia also targeted Paige and Alex because what do you mean you’re gonna out Paige and Alex to Hazel and tell her “Paige has gone the gay way” “Do you really want her to be known as the school lesbian” but replace ian to o. Like, tell me what’s so bad about being lesbian? And yes, he eventually becomes Alex’s friend and accepts that she’s a lesbian but it’s never shown that he actually outgrew his homophobia. And, he probably only accepted it because it was Alex. Another reason is Jay cheating on Alex with multiple girls including bummy Emma and Amy, who was Alex’s BEST FRIEND, and giving them all diseases like what the hell. He was a part of the whole school shooting storyline and convinced JT to sell drugs in the first place. The one thing that pisses me off as well is when he pressured Darcy to do it with Spinner. It’s not even like Spinner wanted that Jay just took the matter into his own hands like yeah let’s just lie to girls and convince them they’re only good for one thing. An unpopular opinion is that Jay and Manny suck as a couple. I see people say “omg they have soo much chemistry!!” but chemistry alone is not enough to form a solid relationship. Did we forget about Jay switching Manny’s acting tape for her sexy tape for her audition because he got mad at her? Like he’s such a bitch for that and him going out of his way to help Manny get a second chance was THE BARE MINIMUM. I don’t usually call things that include lots of effort the bare minimum, but this is just an exception. Like “omg he’s such a good boyfriend for fixing the problems he started!!” To be fair, the reason he never had a redemption arc was that he was reduced to a plot device to further other characters' storylines to the point that the writers never gave him his own individual storylines and possible chances to improve. But still, he was always destined to be a loser with no achievements and he could’ve just not been a shitty person. So those are the reasons I don’t like Jay, there’s probably more that I’m leaving out but yeah.
She’s literally Holly J and Peter combined in the worst way possible. She’s honestly one of the worst characters on Degrassi who aren’t categorized as the “obvious evil characters” but I honestly don't know why people don't consider her a part of that category. I know her behavior stems from her being on West Drive and being famous, which made her very entitled. Some of her decisions were based on what she went through, but despite that, none of her actions were justifiable. The show could never make me like her no matter what. One of the reasons I don’t like her is because she was a giant bitch to Maya the moment she appeared on my screen for no good reason. She went to steal Tristan from Maya and left her out of conversations, stomped on her foot, spilled a drink on her, basically being the average Degrassi bully. And Maya offered genuine friendship anyway. But what does Zoe do? Convince Maya to make a sexy music video, and she then starts a social media hate page where she creates fake NUDES of Maya and gets her sexually harassed online AND in person which leads to Maya getting sexually assaulted (groped). All because she thought Maya was trying to steal her precious Miles and the crazy part is that she wasn't. And that plague sore gets ZERO consequences for that because she made a fake apology and she's just a wittle baby. Then she gets raped, which is very devastating, and no she did not deserve it whatsoever and it's not okay, but this is her justification for starting the worst Degrassi storyline of all time which was the “Degrassi Nudes Scandal” so Becky didn't let Zoe join the cheer squad because of what happened with her brother and she's wrong for that, but Zoe taunting Becky so she gets distracted and falls resulting in her getting injured is such an asshole move. She then inserts herself into the team and claims the role of captain when no one asked her to. And the team needs a fundraiser idea, that's where she “suggests” the team to send nudes for money and the reason I used quotes is because it's not fucking optional. She goes on about how it's gonna be empowering and that men get what they want anyway so we might as well get paid. Like I'm sorry but that’s not the case, and it’s not the girl power moment you think it is and it just teaches men they can get whatever they want from women as long as they pay the right price which is messed up because it builds entitlement. I get why she thinks that due to her circumstances but she's just blatantly incorrect. So Zoe hogs all the profits and calls everyone ungrateful because they want their share and she finds out Frankie isn't really sending pictures so she gets mad and makes an ultimatum to the entire team, which was “you either post or you're off the team” Then she kicks Frankie off the team. Later on, Winston anonymously tries to blackmail Zoe and she assumes it's Frankie so she leads Frankie into the locker room and takes pictures of her without her consent and eventually LEAKS them to the entire school and blames the whole thing on Frankie. And Frankie wasn't even the one who did all that. Frankie and Winston then corner her demanding an apology and she refuses, like are you serious? Then Frankie says how Zoe only has friends because they're scared of her and if she doesn't take accountability no one will like her. She then reports herself to the police, not because she actually has a soul and feels guilty but because she didn't want people to hate her. And instead of the writers continuing this shitty storyline they just drop it so she gets no consequences AGAIN. I guess you can say her having to do service work in the cafeteria is her punishment, but it's very minuscule. They make her more tame in Next Class but I still can't get myself to like her. She likes Grace and keeps pushing herself towards Grace and they then hook and Grace tells Zoe she's straight and doesn't like her like that. Zoe gets mad which is fine because you have the right to be mad but then she finds out that Grace has a crush on Zig. Is she actually mature about it or does she get with Zig to get revenge on Grace? If you think she'd be mature for once you're WRONG. She hooks up with Zig and records it without his consent, ruining Maya's life once again. Maya finds out and asks Zoe about it and Zoe is like “I don't wanna tell you because I don't wanna see the look on your face when I do!” like oh my God she still manages to be so insufferable when she's 1000% wrong. And if you haven't noticed there's a pattern with Zoe recording/taking pictures of people doing weird stuff without their consent like no way people don't see her as a huge weirdo. She also uses Winston to hide her sexuality and leads him on for what seems like MONTHS and she gets no backlash for that. She brings Rasha to her homophobic mom’s wedding and lies about her being welcome there. She could've been in danger from that but Zoe is too brain-dead to comprehend that. And then she gets jealous about Rasha talking to her ex and I don't care she's not valid for that because Zoe talks to almost ALL of her exes and hookups and didn’t even wanna tell Rasha about her and Grace. And Rasha wasn't even into her ex either. Zoe’s just being a giant hypocrite. And she never had a redemption but what pisses me off more is that they just gave her sad storylines to suffice for it. Like oh, Zoe was mean to Maya, she gets raped. Oh, Zoe leads Winston on, she’s struggling with self-harm. Oh, Zoe puts Rasha in a dangerous situation, her mom kicks her out. And in no way am I saying she deserved these things to happen to her but whenever she does something shitty the writers just make scenarios to make us sympathize with her instead of giving her a storyline where she is actually trying to redeem herself. I feel like the show kept pushing Zoe onto us way too hard. And I really don’t like how Next Class ended with everyone liking her. It just wasn't realistic at all. Hopefully, you guys can somewhat agree.
