I think that T2 tries to put together too many cliches that were most likely suggested to the creators of T1 after the success of T1, in order to 'educate' teenagers with the episodes themselves. T2 becomes less credible and more artificial than T1. The message must be subtle and not too obvious. I stopped watching it half way T2.
