The Vampire Diaries - How has this show impacted our generation?

Hello! For my English class I need to write an essay about a TV show that has impacted our generation.

I chose the CW television series, The Vampire Diaries.

Why this show?

Because I could only pick ONE TV show and I felt that Vampires has significantly impacted our generation.

Here's where I need some help.... I need some support to this. How do YOU think/feel that the Vampire Diaries has impacted our generation? Both good and bad!?

Send me a message with any suggestions!
