Shocking for me was Mary Anne telling off everybody in Mary Anne Saves the Day. Especially when she unleashes her tirade on Kristy "You're the biggest, bossiest, know-it-all!"

I was kind of shocked in "Starring the BSC" when Dawn was trying to change her lines. When my husband and I read that, we were like, "I know you don't like the story, but changing your lines isn't the way to go."
Another shocking moment was in "European Vacation" when Stacey opened her suitcase at the hotel and found someone else's clothes, along with the urn of ashes.

Some of my most shocking moments:
When the club is fighting in Mary Anne Saves the Day Kristy deliberately misses two meetings in a row. Not exactly earth-shatttering, and this was early in the series when Kristy hadn't become so, uh, what's the word I'm looking for?, so presidential ;)yet, but given her later attitude about lateness and missing meetings this really shocked me.
When the Pikes are driving to Sea City in Boy-Crazy Stacey and Mallory and Margo switch places (actually climbing over the seats) while Mr. Pike is driving. That shocked me because it is so dangerous. They must have undone their seatbelts, or weren't wearing them in the first place. And Mallory did kick her father's shoulder in the process, which could have caused an accident. I just couldn't believe that in the safety-conscious BSC world nobody so much as raised an eyebrow at this. Maybe this bothers me so much because my parents drilled it into my and my brothers and sisters heads that you always wore your seatbelt and you never unfastened it until the car was stopped and the engine turned off.

The cars couldn't possibly be so old that they were pre-seat belt. #8 was taking place in 1986 or 1987. Cars have had seat belts mandatory since 1964. The station wagons may have been a few years old; even though I'm an only child and they could have afforded otherwise, my parents kept their 1976 wagon until 1989, but that had seat belts, to be sure!

I think I did that when I was little, switched/climbed between seats while the car was moving. It was easy to do, especially when you're a wee little kid. I guess since Mallory is the oldest and perhaps the biggest, she couldn't help kicking her father!

We had a station wagon in the early 80s and my brother and I would sometimes sit in the way back part with no seat belts. Not safe in the least, but not that uncommon at the time. Some people would ride in the back of pickup trucks too. There's always going to be the debate of should seat belts be required by law or should it be your own choice if you want to risk flying through your windshield.
Speaking of BSC and seat belts, I always wondered how so many club members could fit into Charlie's car safely. The Junk Bucket sounded like it wouldn't have all it's belts functioning properly anyway, so to think it would have 7 or 8 available belts is unlikely.

Yeah, we used to switch spots on the highway all the time, or we could climb over the seat to get soda out of the cooler, or sit belted up with two small children to a seat. Times have changed a lot.

I was pretty shocked, even as a kid, when Will Yamakawa said "hell" in SS2. I was also surprised that they made references to religious/afterlife beliefs. It was mostly the hell thing that got me, though.

Lol, too funny! I guess for me, one of the things was Logan without a shirt in Richards house!

For some reason, I was really shocked when the kid threw a hot dog at Tess Swinhart in Stacey's Secret Friend. The teasing, the comic book, even the poster seemed like the kind of things that middle school students would do. But throwing food seemed to cross a line for me.
