Lessons Learned From The Netflix Series, "Shameless"
TV Guide

Shameless has become a hit on Netflix over the past couple months. It revolves around a dysfunctional family who struggles with alcoholism and poverty. Unlike many other shows that star a family from the middle of the suburbs, this show takes on the role of a family in downtown Chicago. The show, in my opinion, is very interesting, but also gives the viewers many lessons to learn from.

1. Do Not Let Anyone Disrespect You

The Gallaghers are known for not letting people mess with them because they are a family full of strong-hearted people.

2. In the end, your family is always going to be there for you.

Although the Gallaghers have family issues, they always support each other and have each other's back when their other siblings need it.

3. Nobody's Life is Perfect.

Every character in this show has been faced with a multitude of problems, whether it is the Gallagher's or their friends. Everybody deals with struggles whether they are big or small.

4. Appreciate The Little Things While They're There.

Taking time out of your day to appreciate small things in life because it is too hectic to always be worrying.

5. If It Makes You Happy, Then Do It.

People will say something no matter what you do. Do not let people's opinions get in the way of making you happy.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
