Question

What's your take on "The Secret Life of an American Teenager?"?

Answer 1

i like it. i watch every episode online but, getting married at 15,  wierdno one really wants to get married so early. Also, ben is totally wierd he is in love with amy and he has known her for wat like 1 month but, it is interesting and generally fun to watch

Answer 2

I like this show...It's alittle cheesy at times and I am having problems with the fact that it makes it seem like it's okay to get pregnant such a young age. I'm 21 and already married so I guess I'm not as impressionable as like 12 and 13 year olds that may be watching it.

One problem though is that the storyline between Ben and the main character is alittle odd. Why is he so in love with her? They barely met, I wonder what the writers were thinking when they made him want to marry her and say he is so in love with her....that part doesn't make much sense to me.

Answer 3

Honestly, I think this show is incredibly disturbing. It has all the closed-minded, hyper right wing values that make the US so screwed up, only it masks it by pretending to show all sides of the story. For example, there are characters for and against Amy having an abortion, but the only who even suggest that it's an option are the S****y one who just wants to have Ricky for herself and the selfish friend who won't even give up a lunch break to go see her friend. And then there's the fact that Ben is supposed to be such a great guy who's trying to help Amy out through all her problems, when in fact he's just forcing himself into a situation that he has no place in. They've been dating for a few months, and they're fifteen. Everyone is completely in love with their first boyfriend/girlfriend, and probably with the next few as well. How could disrespecting her decision to have an abortion and trying to coerce her into getting married possibly help her?

My cousins whom I babysit watch this show, and I always find myself explaining the reality of the situations to them. It frightens me that most of the kids watching thins show probably don't have anyone to point out its obvious biases.

Answer 4

i have a love/hate relationship with this show. i really like ashley, amy's sister. she's very funny. i don't like ben. i find him very annoying. i hate the fact that they're possibly getting married. they've know each other for less than one year! plus they're too young. i'm pretty addicted to this show. but idk if i'll watch the 2nd season

Answer 5

It kinda reminds me of Seventh Heaven. But maybe thats because the creator of that show created this show. The acting isn't great either. But besides that. It's a pretty good show.  My only thing is okay...after the baby gets here..what are going to be the topics of discussion besides a teenager rasing a kid. That's going to get old. So hopefully some other storylines will develope.

Answer 6

I really like it. Only I just feel kind of sorry for Ben, because he has to live with the fact the Amy's pregnant with Ricky's baby.

I think the whole plotline is good but the writers should realise that not only teenagers are watching this but also younger people than that, and should make some words like "s*x" not appear a lot.

I really like this show, I even want to buy an episode on itunes for my ipod. Hey guys, while we're at the topic which episode should I buy?

Answer 7

I like it so far i guess. Its a little cheesy and some characters are just weird like Ben. I didn't like it at the beginning but since its about to end, the episodes have been getting better and better and more intense. I like the episodes at the end than at the beginning of the season.
