they're called dramas for a reason
Mather of us wanted to hurt you welcome
to Ms mojo and today we'll be counting
down our picks for the top ten
heartbreaking moments in teen TV dramas
better huh oh my god for this list we'll
be looking at the moments from our
favorite teen dramas that brought tears
to our eyes I want you to spend a lot of
time at the ocean because the ocean
forces you to dream and I insist that
you my girl be a dreamer obviously each
and every one of these entries is going
to have spoilers so proceed at your own
risk
okay come on I snuck in the door number
10 Dylan and Kelly confess to Brenda
Beverly Hills 90210 Brenda please try to
understand how much you mean to us all
right I know this is hard for you Bren
it's hard for all of us don't touch me
Dylan and Kelly confessing their affair
to brenda Hertz for so many reasons but
we can't imagine being betrayed by both
our boyfriend and best friend at the
same time this summer bog you in Paris
look I told u s-- with a girl right
Kelly was the girl Brenda's pain and
difficulty processing what she's being
told along with her genuinely stunned
reaction makes this one of the saddest
scenes in the drama which is saying a
lot I loved you I trusted you both
pregnant please we didn't plan this
friend
although Dillon and Brenda's
relationship was tumultuous we couldn't
help but feel just as heartbroken as she
did you know when I broke up with you
you made it seem like Kelly which is
some girl you picked to go out with you
made a thing so anything like it was my
fault
also can we add that Dylan's
unapologetic blasé attitude made the
scene extra difficult to watch well I
don't want to hear I've heard enough
well you're gonna have to Bronx neither
one of us can stand a lie to you anymore
poor poor Brenda look I hate you both
never talk to me again
number nine Lorelai tells Luke she
cheated on him Gilmore Girls it's over
no you can't say that you can't just say
that it's over it's not over you can't
just decide that it's over I'm in this
to Luke and Lorelai were friends and
eventually lovers for many seasons of
this drama the two eventually decide to
get engaged but other things end up
taking precedence over the wedding calm
down enough to figure all this out now
do we yes we do because we've been
waiting and waiting and putting it off
and I don't want to put it off anymore
after giving Luke an ultimatum Lorelai
ends up sleeping with Christopher which
she has to admit to Luke when he shows
up the next morning ready to go elope I
slept with Christopher it was the way he
got back in his truck without a word
that killed fans of the couple fans also
couldn't handle when Rory cried after
sleeping with Dean knowing she was the
other woman Gilmore Girls was just a
hard show for us to watch in general
because the women made several difficult
choices when it came to the men in their
lives I'm not that girl I'm not the one
who cries and falls apart and calls her
ex-boyfriend to come and save her
number eight Jimmy gets shot Degrassi
the next generation if we have to choose
only one heartbreaking moment from a
show that lives to break viewers hearts
on a regular basis then this would be it
just saying sure he'd be cool if you
skip the rest of the day Toby this is
the one time I actually want to be at
school
before Aubrey Graham was singing hotline
bling under his stage name Drake
he played Jimmy Brooks one of the
coolest guys at Degrassi Community
School new ship oh hey oh oh man this is
nice oh but whiff popularity comes the
pressure to be cool and that includes
making fun of those less popular you
might want to watch for you're going
loser which we're here going to and
earth all would you just say like Rick
who one day has enough of the bullying
and brings a gun to school you made me
do this he shoots Jimmy in the back as
he runs away
luckily poor Jimmy survives but is
confined to a wheelchair and his
basketball days are over
I've asked about career my whole future
it's gone it's like these two pieces on
me number seven
Freddie dies skins God let you hover in
the fray she does love you either in a
show is heaviest skins there are endless
tragic moments like when Tony doesn't
remember where he lives
thank you post
Konoe but Freddie's death was one of the
standout heartbreaking moments of this
show it's again okay we'll be together
he and his best friend cook are both
into the same girl Effy Stonem she broke
my heart man broke my heart as well you
broke my arm I'll bet you've broken hers
at some point when it hurts their
friendship if he can't forgive herself
and starts to see a counselor after
attempting suicide jump pasta my
counselor is the one that helped me
however her counselor is crazier than
his own patients and secretly wants her
to himself so he traps Freddie in a
stairwell and beats him to death with a
bat the fact that no one knew what
happened to him for so long made fans
angry but cook figuring it out and
avenging his friend's death made the
loss of such a good character a bit
easier to accept you killed my friend
encore
number six Marissa dies the OC baby I've
been here before I've seen this room and
I've walked this floor love her or hate
her you couldn't help but be sad when
the rebellious girl next door died in a
fiery car crash
until then the saddest moment had been
Season 1's finale when Ryan went back to
Chino and Seth sailed away for the
summer throughout her time on the show
Marissa dealt with substance abuse and
depression and acted out by dating bad
boys all to make her snobby mother mad
are you drunk
let me guess
tequila at the end of season three
Marissa seemed to be getting her life
together by going back to her often on
boyfriend Ryan come on burn this
together
but on the way to the airport her drunk
ex-boyfriend ran them off the road and
that was it for Marissa Cooper
number five
Jen's video to her daughter Dawson's
Creek by the time you see this I won't
be here anymore in the two-part series
finale set five years in the future
viewers learned that one of the main
characters Jen Lindley is suffering from
a fatal heart condition so I am going to
die Jack like everything else in my life
I don't really know how to do that
during the show's final season Jen dealt
with her grandmother being diagnosed
with breast cancer are you talking about
breast cancer it's only fitting and
absolutely heartbreaking that Jen's
grams would be by her side as she dies
of her own illness a few soon Chuck and
if that doesn't get to you the video she
makes to her then one-year-old daughter
will where she lists all the things she
hopes for her daughter's life and when
you find that love wherever you find it
whoever you choose don't run away from
it while the drama was named for the
titular character Dawson leery Jen was
often the heart of the show and fans
were sad to see her get such a bleak
ending best year of my life with the
sweetest and the smartest and the most
beautiful baby girl in the world
number four the school shooting One Tree
Hill
I wanted them three more one employ
Jimmy Edwards bringing a gun to school
was dramatic enough let alone the fact
that Lucas and a bleeding Peyton were
stuck in the library while Nathan Haley
and mouth were stuck in the tutor Center
with the shooter himself nobody's going
anywhere
but the real heartbreaking moment from
this episode goes down as one of the
biggest plot twists and teen drama
history the death of Keith Scott does
this darkness have a name everyone knew
that dan and Keith were far from the
perfect brothers but when Dan picked up
the gun from next to Jimmy's lifeless
body and put a bullet through his own
brother audiences everywhere felt
shocked and betrayed oh that I had the
world and um I would fly away number
three
sheriff Elizabeth Forbes death the
Vampire Diaries
yes our hearts hurt when Sheriff Forbes
finally succumbed to her cancer
she's good she was one of the only
parental figures left for our favorite
vampires to turn to in Mystic Falls
but the real heartbreak came from the
other characters reactions to her death
goodbye sure you will be missed her
daughter Caroline singing at the funeral
gaming giving the eulogy since he missed
out on doing it for his own mother and
Caroline showing her mama memory of her
teaching her to ride a bike as she dies
don't let go most heartbreaking of all
the episode ends with Caroline shutting
off her humanity because she'd rather go
rogue than deal with her loss
that's not your choice to make
number two Buffy kills angel Buffy the
Vampire Slayer
nice the only thing harder than being in
love with a vampire is being a vampire
hunter whose sole purpose is to kill
people like him I love you I try not to
but I can't stop me to kill it this
minor setback weighs heavily on Buffy
and angels relationship throughout
earlier seasons but reaches a whole new
level when angel becomes this evil alter
ego Angelus I wanted to say goodbye
first you are the one thing in this
dimension I will miss in the season 2
finale Buffy and Angelus are locked in
battle as he attempts to raise a demon I
almost made it but it's not over yet my
boy katha here's about to wake up you're
going to hell save me a seat angel soul
is restored but in order to save the
world Buffy is forced to put a sword
through his body to stop the demon as he
creates a vortex pushing angel into it
as a result angel fortunately doesn't
actually die but Buffy would have to
injure her mother's devastating death
later down the line huh honey before we
reveal the most heartbreaking moment of
all here are a few honorable mentions in
the
so the date if you're just gonna have to
take me with you
this is the last time
tonight
number one the New Directions sing about
Finn's death Glee season
the only thing more heartbreaking than a
main character dying on a show is the
actual actor passing away anyone who
wants to can come up and sing maybe a
song he sung maybe something that
reminds you of him singing isn't gonna
bring him back
no it's not Cory Monteith who played
Finn on Glee died of a drug overdose
before season 5 and so his character had
to be written off as well parents go on
when they lose a child this episode
titled the quarterback served as a
tribute to the actor and character that
have been on the show since episode 1
and I can't fight this feeling anymore
it's pure talent whoa
besides the opening number in which the
whole cast sang a song in his honor
other characters pay tribute to his
death with music most notably Lea
Michele who was not only his on-screen
love interest but his real-life
girlfriend as well
I left Finn and me and she looked all of
you guys so when Rachel's saying make
you feel my love Wow we all felt it to
make you feel do you agree with our list
you're absolutely right which teen drama
