As Teen Wolf begins to wind down in its last season, fans have been reminiscing on all the wonderful memories. This is a show that anyone and everyone should watch in their life. It is six fantastic seasons full of twists, turns and emotional overloads. We may be dreading the day Teen Wolf officially ends, but until then, let’s appreciate the awesome things the show has taught us over the years.
1. Nothing can separate your pack.
No matter the supernatural struggles, the pack can never truly stay apart long. I’m always so inspired by how Scott and his pals always find their way back to each other. We’ve seen quite a few come and go over the years, but one thing’s for sure—the pack is forever.
2. You can always count on your parents.
Finding out your son is a werewolf and accepting it is no easy task. Being willing to fight by their side against the supernatural is incredible. Without a doubt, Mama McCall, Sheriff Stilinski, and Chris Argent are the fiercest parents I’ve ever seen; they will do anything to protect their kids.
3. Knowledge really is power.
With each new season, we are introduced to a new villain that nobody knows anything about. Well, that is until someone (usually Stiles) decides to trek up to the Beacon Hills High School library to research some supernatural myths. It’s amazing how easier the fight seems once you know what’s going on.
4. Everybody has a purpose.
One of my favorite things about Teen Wolf is that although every character is not an Alpha, each one is important to the pack. You don’t have to be the best of the best in order to make a difference in the world. Just look at Stiles, who continues to be the MVP, and he’s only human.
5. Be careful who gains your trust.
Just because someone looks pretty doesn’t mean they are an ally. It’s amazing how many catastrophes could have been prevented if only Beacon Hills High School could have run a few background checks. In order to be a good leader, you absolutely must have a strong sense of judgement.
6. High school is a wild ride.
How does one manage to go to class and fight supernatural enemies? Scott McCall truly deserves a round of applause for somehow finding time to do his homework among his crazy extracurriculars. Perhaps we don’t have the same problems as Beacon Hills students, but they sure do prove how insane high school feels.
7. Keep fighting—don’t run.
Facing your fears is one of the hardest and most honorable things you can do. The pack has definitely faced some horrible situations, but our favorite scenes are the ones where they don’t give up, the ones where they stand and fight together. That unity is so inspiring and beautiful.
8. Never give up on true love.
Let’s be real—the relationships of Teen Wolf have been a roller coaster of emotions. You patiently cheer on your favorites, but the writers continue to break your heart. However, you must admire certain characters (Stiles) for waiting six whole seasons to finally get that happy ending.
9. Best friends are forever.
Of all the amazing things in Teen Wolf, I love the bond between friends, especially Scott and Stiles. They have undoubtedly gone through the craziest high school experience, yet through it all, they trust and care for one another wholeheartedly. Absolutely nothing can break apart their brotherly relationship, not even when they are worlds apart, and I admire that love so much.
10. Don’t go into the woods alone.
If I’ve learned anything from this show, it is that as much as I respect the pack for their adventurous nature, I would prefer not constantly worry about my life. When there’s a reported corpse in the woods, you can be sure I will be staying at home. More power to you, Scott, but so far, my human life is great.
Six incredible seasons later, and Teen Wolf has made a lasting impact on its fans. From heartbreaking relationships to action-packed adventure, this show will forever have a special place in our hearts, thanks to its awesome life lessons.
