James Tiberius "J.T." Yorke is a fictional character on the TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation who is portrayed by Ryan Cooley.
J.T. lives with his mother and grandma. When he was young, his father abandoned him and his mother. Interstingly enough, he has mentioned having two parents in the past. This could be seen as a continuity error or a retcon. Also his mother has never been seen in the series, not even when he was hospitalized. Thus it can be concluded that his mother is either away a lot or simply does not care about him.

When Liberty found out, she told JT to get the drugs back, and confess. While trying to get the drugs back, JT got beat up, and he decided to over-dose on the pills.
