Gokusen is one of my favourite dramas of all time. I could watch it over and over again... Not just because it is a drama packed full of good looking guys (
when I say packed, I mean SERIOUSLY PACKED), but because of the values of friendship shown in each and every episodes.
A class of delinquents, 3D is a terror for all the teachers in the school. Whenever anything bad happens, they will be the first to be blamed. The teachers of the schools have no shame in pointing their fingers to those students who are weak academically and look like troublemakers with dyed hair and accessories of all kinds on top of their normal school uniform. (
which makes them different and cool in the first place I'd say...) These students hated adults and could not trust them. Until Yankumi arrives. She is the first teacher who has ever treated them fairly and faced them head on. And in time, she touched their hearts and gain their trust claiming that she will make sure that the entire class graduates as one.
The drama focuses on the trials faced by a few of the students and how Yankumi does everything she could to help each of them out. One of the thing she stresses the most is friendship. She will always be remind them that no matter what happens, their friends will always be there for them and believe in them. Although they do not always hang out together as a class except during school hours, although they have their own closer group of friends, although in time they will each walk their separate ways, whenever troubles come sniffing by, each and everyone of them rose to the occasion as one. Of course there are times when the class is split, individuals of different characteristics will definitely collide. Conflicts are inevitable. But the bond forged between them during that time, that place, will never disappear.
In the end, have they not gone through so many things together? The tears and laughter shared in the past will be brought forward as beautiful memories. Each one of them holding up another during painful times...
I too have great memories with a bunch of silly and idiotic friends that I treasure.
