Melanie was a grade 7 in the first season. She and Kathleen both tried "drugs" that they bought from Joey. They acted like they were high all day, but Joey actually just gave them vitamins. In another episode, Melanie feels like she is flat chested, but also thinks she needs a bra, so LD takes her to buy one. Joey keeps making fun of her about it. All of Degrassi thinks she stuffs her bra, so she doesn't want to swim, because she can't swim with her bra, and then she would look like she was "stuffing." In the end, Snake convinced her to go and race in the big swim match against the boys and girls. When she came out Joey makes a mean comment about her chest, so LD throws him into the school pool. When Melanie starts her race with Jason, she wins.
