    I like the show and I've been following it since it was first aired.
    I was really emotional with Ricky's proposing to Amy during graduation. I am looking forward for season 5 to be aired.
    I get bored with all the characters beeing always so obsessed with flirting and sex though so I hope that next season will show more mature characters.

    "Bad"
    By sodapopgirl721, Nov 10, 2011 Report Abuse
    I watch ABC Family a lot, what with Gilmore Girls and that 70's show and Greek when it was still on, and this show first came out way before 16 and pregnant and all that. And I would always see the previews for this show and want to know what happened next so i finally watched it. and im sorry i did.
    the show has a good premise, girl has a one-night stand at camp and her parents are fighting and how will she raise a baby and whatnot. but the premise is the only good part of the show. the bad parts, aka the rest, are:
    the acting. almost everyone on this show is a terrible actor and yes i realize i have no right to judge them, but everyone in this show seems awkward and uncomfortable which makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable to watch them. and then there's the characters they play, who in retrospect aren't worthy of being played by better actors. The main character, the pregnant girl, is is okay at the beginning when people don't know she's pregnant but when they do she says "i'm having a baby!" like every five seconds. and every character on this show sucks in their own way, like her boyfriend ben's father played by the fat guy from the sopranos, who encourages his 15-year-old son marrying a girl he's known for two months! he's all when you fall in love, you just know! i got married at 18! and its like, well thats all well and good in the 1850's, in the 21st century you don't allow your 15-year-old to get married!
    and thats just the first year, now that they're older, they're marrying each other and living together despite the fact they're still in high school! this show could've been better, like a prequel to gilmore girls, but it's just bad.moreless

    By emeri_2124, Nov 10, 2011 Report Abuse
    16 and Pregnant is realistic.the secret life is not, its completely insane and has to be based in another world. the scenarios are so fake, the people constantly gossiping as if they ALL live in the same house???how when Graces dad died, it was the big thing for like what...2 minutes??? none would ever move next door to someone who cheated or a baby mama! ugh dont even get me started on AMY. the way she fake sighs, her stupid laugh, its "adult" not "adolt", get yours words right!!! "im 16 and had a baby" blah blah shes such a whiny bitch. her and ben dont even know each other and hes like "shes the onnnee", wtf was that?? "hey son, do you have condoms??" this show is sick, the acting is terrible, the parents act like friends and the counsel guy was always like "i dont know anything, forget me im stupiid". the actors talk so annoying and george is ridiculous. im sorry but if youre going to write a show about "teen pregnancy" show reality. show okay apartments, government aide, dropping out, working, etc not just everyone acting like nothing changed, they all get nice apartments, houses, cars, they make these kids act like theyre on their own and being a teen mom doesnt mean you act like a spoiled bitch.moreless

    It has it's boring episode where i wish i could fast forward, however some parts make me sad or happy, and It keeps me entertained. I'm rarely bored unless it's just Amy's dad walking around trying to get with every woman he meets. That really gets old after awhile. Also you barely ever hear about Ashley and that one guy anymore.
