I'm honestly surprised FIRST signed off on this.

To clarify your claim, the character who you're talking about, Mariana, had episodes involving drug use prior to the robotics story line itself. It grew under the real life stress of build season.

While I don't agree with drug use, that was who the character was and how she was pre established on the show.

Teenagers in that show's world deal with that stuff, it wasn't soley because she was doing robots, other characters had similar story lines in other regards.
If you watched the episode you would know the issue was resolved with her robotics peers SUPPORTING her and telling her she was too smart for substance abuse.

Again, I don't agree with drug use nor do I support it, BUT all the facts should be layed out and not taken out of context.

Remember this show IS NOT a FIRST documentary.
