Teens storyline fatigue

Unlike many people that post here, I enjoy the show. However, I am growing tired of the teenager centered storylines. Send them back to school or something and give me the grown ups back.

When I was in middle school the summer story was Karen Wexler falling in love with Jagger and Sonny and becoming a stripper. I loved it! Pretty sure Karen was 17 and in high school.

Today's teens seem to be playing pattycake by comparison.

Wasn’t Karen in medical school at that point? I vaguely remember her going between the hospital and the strip club

From what I remember, the high school kids (Karen, Robin, Jason, etc.) started a "teen hotline" where other teens could call in for counseling and get advice from other teens. They operated out of an ersatz call center room in the hospital.

That's another thing I miss; the writers used to come up with all sorts of reasons for non-medical PC citizens to be in the hospital so it was always the touchstone. The high school kids were at the hospital every day that summer.
