What is "the wonder years"?!?!?!?
The lesson in the one that we watched was that if you go through a bad breakup, don't try to make the other person jealous because you both end up hurt. You should try to be friends with the person and try to move on.
I have gone through some breakups but none where I tried to make him really jealous. I have been hurt by when others have done that to me though.
In the other episode, I learned that you should always be nice to your mom even if she embarasses you. Your mom does so much for you and you should respect that.
I haven't really been in a situation like he was but I do love and care about my mom.
i think it is a good lesson and i can relate to it because it has happened to me in simaliar situation.
Emma-"The Wonder Years" is a television show from the late 80's that tells the story of a boy growing up through his junior high and high school years. We used the show as an example of a personal experience speech. Kevin Arnold, the main character, recounts stories of his childhood and shares some sort of lesson at the end of each episode.
The lesson was: if your stuck on spots crew, learn how to do it.
I can't quite relate to it, though spots for the musical didn't quite know what they were doing.
The lesson from one of the episodes of the Wonder Years where Kevin was workin the spotlights for his school play was to always be supportive of your friends. I can relate to this because my friends are always there for me, and I'm there for them.
The lesson I think was not to dwell on the past too long and to just let things go. I can relate to that lesson because sometimes I think about what happened in the past to me or something I said and it makes me either sad or mad, so I need to learn not to dwell on the past for too long.
The lesson from our episode was do NOT try to make your bff hook up with your ex to make him feel better!!! That's just a bad situation waiting to happen. Can't really relate... I'm not THAT oblivious.
The episode where him mom goes to work at his school; the point of this was to show that you might hurt your family members because of your own selfish reasons. I cant remember right now!!
One lesson was that you shouldn't be mean to someone because they aren't "cool" or "popular". I think it's a good lesson because you should be nice to everyone. But, no I've never really been in that kind of position.
The lesson was: know how to be good to your friends and to your girlfriend at the same time without ruining friendships.
Well yes, I can relate to the episode when the main character (i don't know what his name is), is in denial. When my grandma died in the fall, I was at my friend's house. When I got the call from my mom that she had died, I kind of just put it in the back of my mind and didn't believe it. I was in denial for a couple days, and then when it finally hit me that she wasn't here any more, I got sad and moped around. It took time to get happier, just like the main character.
In one of the episodes of the Wonder Years, the lesson was to not let what others thought of you be mean to some people. The boy was mean to a nerdy girl because he didn't want people to make fun of him. I can relate to peer pressure like the boy in the Wonder Years. Sometimes you have to do whats right even if others will ridicule you.
the lesson of the second one we watched was don't say something unless you really mean it or you are for sure it is okay...yes i can relate to the lesson.
I learned to be nice to your parents even if they humiliate you because they will always be there for you.
I cannot relate to this lesson.
Oh . Thank you Mr.Buckley. when did we watch "the Wonder Years."?
I learned from one of the episodes that you should alwayts listen to your parents. yes, sometimes i think my parents are wrong when they tell me to do something.
I was gone when we watched the wonder years
The lesson in the episode with the break-up was not to interfear with other peoples personal problems or lives. I can't think of anytime when I have related to this, but I still thought it was a good lesson.
the first episode's lesson tells people to just move on after a relationship. i can relate to this lesson and im not that good at i hahhaha. yes i have had a similar experience.
The lesson of the wonder years episode we watched was to communicate with your parents and they will listen. I can relate to this lesson because your parents wont know if you want to keep the dog if you don't tell them. Yes, i have had a imilar experience to this lesson because i wasn't direct enough with my parents and they didn't know exactly what i wanted.
One of the lessons in one of the episodes that I watched was to respect your dad through thick and thin.
Yes I can relate to this lesson because I have had ups and downs with my dad but I always remind myself that I love him.
In these two episodes of the wonder years the lesson was that if you break up with somebody try to get over them, don't try to make them jealous, don't assume anything, and be sensitive. In the long run it might just work out after all.
One lesson in the wonder years was that you have to love your dad/parents through everything, even if he said you cant keep a dog..but at the end he let him keep itt and yeah i can relate because i had to bribe my dad into getting a puppy!
I think that in the episode with the play, the lesson was to always be there for your friends. I can relate to that because I have learned that lesson.
In one of the "Wonder Years" episodes, i think the lesson is to appericate your parents, even if sometimes you get in fights. They do everything because they love you. And they're aloud to screw up once in a while.
I have had experiences like that in Wonder Years.
1) i think in the episodes of where they go on vacation and he finds a girl he likes and then she has to leave and breaks up with him. I think the lesson is that if someone has to leave and does not like you and breaks up with you you shoul forget it and move on.
2)Not really
I think that the lesson in the episode with the dance is that you should always sitck to your word and keep your promises to your friends
I don't think I've ever had a similar experience.
the lesson from the Wonder Years episode would be....
♥ Don't like someone who's hard to talk to even if she/he's popular and pritty. Go with someone who is easy to talk to!
Can I relate....
♥ Nope, but i've had friends who could!
1. The lesson was that even if your friend is feeling down, don't lie to make them feel better because the truth will come out at sometime.
2. Yes, I have learned this lesson several times, and they were not very fun experiences.
1. You have to make the best of what you have and not blame everyone else.
2. Yes, I can relate.
i think the lessons were to dont be mad at others for something they have done just like when his mom did something and so he got mad at her. i think you should never get mad at relatives because they do so much for you and care a lot for you.
i am going through this same experience because i might be moving soon and i am really mad at my mom but i know that she is just trying to do the best for me and my brothers.
The spotlight episode showed that if you sign up for something then you have to do it. I can relate
I learned that if a friend needs you, you shouldn't let them down. I can't really think of anything right now that happened to me like that.
During the episode of the Wonder Years where the main character goes on vacation and gets a girlfriend but she breaks up with him at the end of the vacation, there is one major lesson. I think that that lesson was that is someone breaks up with you or leaves your life forever, you should get over them and continue to live your life.
1. The lesson of the Wonder Years episode I watched was that you shouldn't disrespect someone or treat them badly just because he/she is not "cool".
2. I can't really relate to this lesson but I do know that there are people who treat others in a certain way depending on how "popular" he/she is.
In the first wonder years we watched I learned that as annoying as your family can be you all have to stick together. You're family is very important. You also learned how hard it can be to break up with someone.
I have been really annoyed with someof the things that my parents have done, but I still love them no matter what.
No Ive never really had that happen to me
the first episode's lesson tells people to just move on after a relationship. i can relate to this lesson and im not that good at it. yes i have had a similar experience with this lesson.
i was absent when we watched the wonder years so i do not know.
I think it was a good lesson brcause it shous that we can overcome opur fears at any time in our life if we want to over come they but if we don't then we will always have something to be scared of and that is not what we want to be we want to be as strong as we can for our selfs and for the people around us who may think that you can never come over a fear but you always can.
ERICK!!!!!
that is a blaitnant lie!!!
the spots knew exactly what they wer doing! if u still think that the spots wer so bad maybe you should recall that the mics only worked half the time IF you could find them
i belive the lesson in he wonder years did not relate to me but was a good lesson for many people
The lesson was be honest. I can not relate.
i was absent when we watched this
I remember one of the lessons from Wonder Years was to be yourself and not worry about what people think of you.
Yes, I have had a similar experience to this lesson, because I go by it. I'm myself. Always. If you don't like me, then fine, but I'm not going to change how I act, my friends, or what I do, just to impress a few people.
You can sometimes go through bad breakups and you have to get around that and deal with it in a mature maner.
The lesson I think was not to dwell on the past too long and to just let things go. I can relate to that lesson because sometimes I think about what happened in the past to me or something I said and it makes me either sad or mad, so I need to learn not to dwell on the past for too long.
I think the episodes have good lessons because they are a lot of things that people can relate to and help you figure out your problems.
The lesson was that even if your friend is feeling down, don't lie to make them feel better because the truth will come out at sometime.
Yes, I have learned this lesson, and its not very fun

1. You should not blame other people for something thats not in thier control.
2. Yes I can relate and have had similar expieriences

I cannot relate to this lesson.
The lesson was to be there for your friends. I can relate to this because I am there for my friens when they have problems.
I didn't see the wonder years
The lesson was that jealousy doesn't always work. I think I can relate to it because even though I haven't been in that same situation I have gone through a similar one. And i did learn that lesson!
One of the lessons from the wounder years, i thought was to be faithful to people. Yes i have had a similar experience.
During one episode of the Wonder Years where the main character goes on vacation and gets a girlfriend but she breaks up with him at the end of the vacation, there is one major lesson. I think that that lesson was that is someone breaks up with you or leaves your life forever, you should get over them and continue to live your life.
the lesson is that you shouldn't take things to hard that should just be let go. when somthing bad happens, you should just move on.
The lessoned learned is that u should move on with what ever happens
I was absent.
i do think that it is a good lesson but i havent related to it yet
I think most of the lessons he learned were general things most boys will eventually learn. So yes I can relate to some of his situations.
The lesson from the episode where Kevin's brother can drive, is family is always there for you, so you should be nice to them. I can relate because sometimes i fight with my little brother.
I was not in class that day
I think the episodes have really great lessons because they are normally about stuff that people can relate to and help you figure out your own problems.
I wasn't here when we watched this because i think i was SICK
The lesson from the episode where Kevin's brother can drive, is family is always there for you, so you should be nice to them. I can relate because sometimes i fight with my little brother.

If you volenteer to do something, do it, even if something unexpected/bad happens. Don't go back on what you said you'd do.
i love my parents and i will not be mad at them ever
One of the lessons in one of the episodes that I watched was to respect your dad through thick and thin.
Yes I can relate to this lesson because I have had ups and downs with my dad but I always remind myself that I love him.
one lesson is that you shouldnt ignore your friends if you suddenly become popular because you lose your friends and the popular people are probably just using you to get something.
In these two episodes of the wonder years the lesson was that if you break up with somebody try to get over them, don't try to make them jealous, don't assume anything, and be sensitive. In the long run it might just work out after all.
I can relate to the whole have to take care of the pet thing because my mom made me go throught the big responsibility thing to.
The lesson I think was not to dwell on the past too long and to just let things go. I can relate to that lesson because sometimes I think about what happened in the past to me or something I said and it makes me either sad or mad, so I need to learn not to dwell on the past for too long.
The lesson was that you shouldn't try to hurt people
I learned in one of the episodes that you should always respect your parents, even if you disagree with them.
The Wonder Years is an entertaining show that we can relate to, and it teaches us valuable lessons in ways that we can understand. I can relate to some of the ideas in the wonder years.
One of the lessons was respect. I can relate to this.
humm buck i dont think i watched this!
One of the lessons was even if you don't beleive in someone, tell them you support them fully, no matter how far fetched their idea might be. Yeah, definetly I can relate. My friends have some pretty weird ideas, and i support them because their my friends.
"The Wonder Years" was a t.v show that really taught some good lessons/morals. I suppose that the main one would be that you should live in the present and not the past.
I learned to be nice to your parents, even if they humiliate you.
I don't really relate to this lesson.
One of the lessons of the wonder years was to not say something unless you really mean it, unless you know it's not going to hurt spmeone. I can relate to this because I once said something I didn't really mean.
i think that this wonder years was pretty informative and taught you some good lessons
it a show and it teaches that don't try to use other people for your own personal gain
I agree wonder years is a great personal experiences. The lesson is dont get involded in breakups....it will never end well!!!
I've watched alot of the Wonder Years they are awesome. My favorite episode is the Valentines Day one. It reminded me of some of the stuff that has happened to me before. I learned to not make someone jealous if you go through a breakup or get rejected it doesn't work at all.
if you go through a hard relationship, dont try to make each other jealous
the lesson that I learned was that jealousy is deadly and the girl your using is going to get mad when she knows your using her. and I learned that being to your mom is a good thing even if your friends are around
i think it is a good lesson because i can realy relate
I was absent this day
If you are having a hard time with a relationship, don't make it worse and try to make eachother jealous.
One lesson was that you shouldn't be mean to someone because you think you are better than them. I think you should be nice to everyone no matter what.
what was the wonder years?
i wasnt here on that day so i dont know what show we are supposed to blog about
On one episode the lesson was to not bully or be mean to someone because they arent considered cool or dont have any friends
i think that its a good think to know becuase this happens to people.
They tried to teach you about life?
i cant really relate to the Wonder years
the lesson of the wonder years is about issues in a teenage boys life.
One lesson you can learn from the Wonder Years we watched is that you can never assume anything. The guy in the show assumes that his ex-girlfriend doesn't have feelings for him anymore. Later in the episode, you find that she does and that he was freaking out for no reason. I cannot relate to this because I've never had a boyfriend in my life, therefore I could not have relationship trouble like this.
