Why you gotta drag your mom into this so frequently? You're 16. Like, just practice safe sex and shut the hell up already. Personally, I thought that if she had to ask her mother's permission to have sex, then clearly she wasn't mature enough to have sex. One notable character is Grace, the Christian girl in the series, who was constantly asking her mother for permission to have sex. All the characters talk incessantly about sex with their parents. They are trying to encourage an open dialogue about sex between teenagers and their parents in order to help prevent teenage pregnancy, but I think they took it to the extreme. I understand what ABC Family is trying to do here. Battlefield Earth is better than Secret Life of an American Teenager. If you have extremely low standards and limit your activities to staring at glowing rectangles with moving images on them, watch Secret Life. If you want a good show about teen pregnancy, watch Juno. It's too inconsistent and hypocritical to be a positive influence, and it's too stupid and poorly made to be entertaining. The bottom line is this show is absolutely awful in every respect. Could the writers not think of even one REAL health issue that afflicts babies? How unbelievably stupid! How unfortunate that her baby only stops crying when Daddy is near. Maybe I missed too many episodes, but that girl had one easy pregnancy, and oh, how quickly her body returned to a size 0. Even though it's a subject in every episode, it's dealt with so superficially as to be practically useless. Finally, let me address the issue of teen pregnancy. If this steaming pile of a show was an example, 95% of teens would be having sex, and having it in contrived, stupid circumstances. The hypocrisy is repulsive! The last statistic I read said that half of all teenagers have not had sex by the time they graduate high school. At the end of the show the actors say "It might seem like everyone is having sex, but they're not." but EVERYONE ON THE SHOW IS DOING IT!!! That's as bad as if Michael Vick said "It's bad to hurt dogs" after each bloody dogfight. Worst of all, the show gives mixed messages. All they ever think about are their immediate needs and wants, unless they're having a conveniently placed worry about the future that's forgotten by the next scene. The cruelty and immaturity of all the characters (including the adults) goes to Desperate Housewives levels. The phony sex "dialog" is not my biggest complaint, however. Yes, teens will sometimes talk about sex, but not nearly to this extent, and not in this manner. Filling dialog with people talking about sex is quite another. Having an honest, open, and complete dialog about sex is one thing. Many people give this show credit for having dialog about sex. The writers must have absolutely no knowledge of biology, psychology, or basic human nature. The two characters who use people the most both turn out to have unresolved "daddy issues." The writers treat the characters like they're all the same person raised in different circumstances. Characters who at first were kind turn out to be just as mean and petty as everyone else. Just when you get to know a character, he or she says something completely out of character just to drive home some "point" or put someone in their place. The character development is disgraceful. Watch one episode (without the kids) and ask yourself how many people actually talk like that? The story is contrived, predictable and uninspired. To be fair, any actor would have a hard time working with the inconsistent, unrealistic, practically nonsensical drivel that passes for dialog in this show. I can't even think of a comparison to how bad the acting is. To say the acting is bad is a gross understatement.

To be honest, I have only seen a few episodes of this show because it's so unspeakably bad I have to leave the room rather to refrain from speaking my mind while my sister (a fan) watches the show.įirst, let me comment on the quality of the TV show.
