i think people are embarrassed to say this. that it is a girl's show. and he is a boy.
that dosnt make any difference or atleast it shouldn't. if you like a show then you should be allowed to watch the show, hell im 24 and still watch kids shows, do i like watching them yes, if someone bugs me about it i dont care, i enjoy them and im happy to watch them.
as for the lad. no one in this day-an-age should be bullied over anything they do, i feel sorry for him but i do hope when the bullies get a bit older they get bullied, let them feel what its like
