Reception

6teen has been generally well-received by viewers. In the Winter/Spring of 2005, the program ranked among Teletoon's Top 10 for children ages six to eleven in both English and French markets.^[1] It was also the only Canadian production to be nominated for a Pulcinella Award in 2005 under "TV Series for All Audiences".^[1] Furthermore, on June 2, 2007, 6teen received an award from the Alliance for Children and Television for being the best of children's television to fall under the age group of nine to fourteen-years that year.^[2] Carole Bonneau, vice-president in charge of Teletoon's programming, has remarked about 6teen: June 2 is the 153rd day of the year (154th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Like other television shows that target teen audiences, however, 6teen touches on issues that may be inappropriate for younger audiences, and includes scenes of nudity (though censored) and male characters attempting to view women naked, in addition to crude humor such as fart jokes. While these may be sensitive issues, some fans hold that serious behavior toward girls is a mature topic normal among late teens. Teenage boys start to be interested in girls physically, know more about mature life, plan their future after graduation, and start to act like young adults. These topics have allowed the series to break through the glass ceiling and reach a wider audience, rather than just appealing to the preteen crowd. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ... The term glass ceiling most commonly refers to the condition in which top-level management in businesses is dominated by men. ...
