What do you think about the Secret Life of an American Teenager?

Question

I have mixed thoughts about the subject matter but mostly am just totally creeped out by Amy and Ben's relationship. Ben has turned into a really weird guy, he fell in love with her way to quickly, wanted to marry her after two weeks, was hiding outside in her bushed and hallucinated her image all last episode. I hope she gets rid of the guy.

Answer 1

yeah, i agree on the Ben thing...

he did fall in love WAY too quickly..and it hardly phased Amy! And the whole marriage thing is just crazy...no one in high school truly considers marriage after a few weeks of dating! I think Ben has good intentions and really does like Amy, but "love?"...idk about that! I kind of hope they stay together and he just tones it down a bit...or if he finds a different girl that is perfect for him and Amy gets back with Ricky ((if he changes for the better of course))

does anyone else think that the acting in this show is a little amateur tho?  i really like the show, but sometimes the acting is a little unbelievable...unrealistic maybe...like some of the things they say and do. But, i still think its a good show...hopefully it keeps getting better and stays interesting!

Answer 2

I love the show because it's so dramatic and real. Ben is obnoxious though. I really don't like him at all. I hope he has to move away with his father because of their business or something!  

Answer 3

I think that show is insane.

There's way too much stuff going on and i'm always soo confused when I watch it... and why the heck does that girl want to marry the guy at 15????  

Answer 4

i love the show but i really dont like ben. hes too pushy and i wouldn't want to be around a guy that wants to move that fast

Answer 5

i think its to show teens to use protection or don't do s*x at all i love this show and i hope amy can rasie her baby

Answer 6

I agree... it seems like Ben is much more into loving Amy than Amy is into loving him.  At first I thought that Amy didn't really like him at all, but the show has proved that wrong.  (Although it does still seem that she doesn't totally like him.)  

I have to say that I like the show.  I've always been excited for Tuesday nights because that's when the show it on, but after I saw the 8th episode-- I don't think I can stand waiting a whole week!  

(By the way: 2 weeks in TV show time, isn't necessarily 2 weeks in our time, so Ben could have liked Amy much longer than that.)

P.S.: Does anyone know where I can find the first episode-- I missed it.

Answer 7

i dont .. idk why he loves her this early but least he wants 2 help ..and not just abbandon her after he heard she was pregnant,

i love the show but i hate we have 2 wait a week

above - go on you tube .they have them there, they wont have it on abcfamily.com  b/c they expired ..they only have the last 2 episodes

Answer 8

Ben started off cute but then turned into obsessive.  I still like the show though.  I loved 7th heaven and that's partly why I started watching it.  I think the show is okay just a little much at times

Answer 9

Let's see, it lacks a truly plausible plot, good acting, and real direction. The relationship between Ben and Amy has no touches of reality, and the fact that his father would even consider supporting the idea of a marriage between 15-year-olds is completely insane. No responsible adult would consider adding marriage into the already crazy mix to be a good idea. And what's with Grace, Adrianne and Jack?! It's so off! It's like ABC Family is trying to cram five different shows/plotlines into one, and about three episodes into one. The only reason I keep watching this show is because I got sucked into its idiotic plot and want to know, omg, what happens next! :O
