Hey everyone, Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

So, I wrote another article on my fan website about the show, and, as always, I'd love to hear what people think! Yes, I guess I'm obsessive enough to write way to much about our favorite program... 🙂

Sunnydale, Buffy, and High School's First Year

The transition from junior high-school to high school is difficult for anyone "” and it is even harder when the person happens to be a vampire slayer.

In the series premiere of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" entitled "Welcome to the Hellmouth," Buffy exhibits many of the behaviors and difficulties that come from the adjustments to high school, and it is conceivable that the events of the show "” which, of course, always uses metaphors extremely well "” may even be instructive to educators, psychologists, and the students themselves.

Please don't take offense, but Buffy was a sophomore (& 16) when she transferred to Sunnydale. She spent her freshman year at Hemerey High in Los Angeles.

You're absolutely correct! I noted that fact in the article -- and said that Buffy's first year at a NEW high school as a sophomore paralleled the experiences of freshman at a new high school as well.
