shows from the 90s

In the show Fifteen, his name is Billy and he has anger issues, and perhaps develops a drug problem in the later episodes. (Nickelodeon tackled adult issues in this high school aged soap opera). In my search for a complete collection of Fifteen, I will hopefully find out the fate of this young character, played by Ryan Reynolds.

On a side note, why does everyone on this show sound so breathless? Is it a Canadian thing? And how do these kids have all this money to spend at the cafe (which may or may not be attached to their school)? And did the creators purposely create a theme of the troubled teens turning to pin ball to deal with all their inner turmoil? If the kid was in front of the pin ball machine, you knew there was trouble with a capital T (relationship problems, bullying, impending detox)
