It's basically a scripted show with real high school students instead of actors.

This is completely wrong.

It's pretty close. Many of the story lines are created by MTV and the kids are "guided" as far as what they should do. The Blink 182 concert last season is a good example of a staged situation. So, no, they are not giving the kids dialogue and stuff, but they are creating scenarios and suggesting actions. This has been written about in legitmate press and acknowledged by MTV.

Um, ok.

The kids are free to do what they want. That being said, they edit heavily and ask to re-shoot conversations/situations that they think are interesting/important.

Anyways, it doesn't matter, it is a great show regardless.
