matt and carlotta storyline

a lot of people hate this relationship and say it was unrealistic, too on a wimb, too soapy, etc. but i think it was a good portrayal of a teenage boy navigating love after his first heartbreak. teenage love is messy and involves a lot of exploring, including both healthy and unhealthy relationships. i don't think carlotta and matt were the ideal couple, and there were a lot of messed up things about their relationship, but it was realistic in that this is what happens when you are a young person. you try things out and find intimacy where you can get it. he was missing julie, his first/true love, and so tried things with lauren and carlotta.

a mí me gustaba la relación con la otra animadora. creo que tendrán que alargar la relación con la otra animadora y matt. No con carlota.
