Do you think 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' is teaching teens to be more careful with s*x?

Question

Hah, the acting & writing is kind of bad.

I think a lot of it is unrealistic

Answer 1

Possibly.

I can't get past the terrible writing/acting of the show enough to tell.  

Answer 2

yeah but my opinon is that amy is self fish she freaking almost had an abortion killing a human for her mistake thats messed up.......

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

I think they are trying yes! =)  

Answer 5

Yeah, they talk about condoms, and the fact that not everyone is having s*x.

I actually really enjoy the show:]

Answer 6

well i guess but its not going to make a big difference teens are still going to have s*x and some will still get pregnant

i like that show but the plot is really slow and most of the acting is really bad

Answer 7

i watched one episode and it seemed so over acted

like the way they were acting didn't make it seem realistic

watching one tv show isn't going to change you (maybe for some people) but for most i would say no

i know plenty of kids that go to church on sundays and during the week you wouldn't think that they were christians cause the way they act and the stuff they do (but anyways this has nothing to do with religion)

all the eight graders in my class last year saw this movie on teen pregnancy, now does the school really think this is gonna stop it from happening?

just like the this year in health we watched a show called "supersize me" and it was about a man eating mc donalds all he ate was mc donalds for 30 days and the guy got so fat, also in the video it showed that mc donald fries after a weeks and weeks never go bad they look the same after all that time, right after the movie i heard some of my fellow peers saying "i wanna go get some mc donalds that video made me  hungy"

i have to admitt ive eating mc donalds since that documentry i saw

but what im trying to say that one little thing isn't going to change people all the time

=D

Answer 8

yeahh it definetly tells me not to have unprotected s*x until im married and want kids..i still might have s*x but not unprotected. (:

Answer 9

Honestly, I don't think teens having s*x would stop because they watched an episode of it. I believe it is preventive, but you won't stop if you have already done it and watch it.

Answer 10

i think iif i would have saw it before geting pregnant it was my fault i was raped with my first 2 but my twins were my and my husbands idea im 15

Answer 11

it might be to some.

i think it depends on the person. everyone has different views on things like that. i love that show. but it hasn't changed me or the way i think about s*x or teenage pregnancy in anyways.  

Answer 12

Yeah ,  I agree with the first answer .

I don't like the actng ...

but i do think that it could be teaching teens to be more careful /

Answer 13

Possibly.  Thats like my favorite show!  The whole show is about s*x and after it they tell you about the awareness.  I think this is realistic and this is like a documentary.  Things like this happen all the time... My parents watch it with me :D
