    Anyone who feels like these two shouldn't be together and make the wrong combination, join here. I don't think they balance each other out. Something seems off.

    1 somethimes i read here and there some people write that they don't like the show or it sucks and so on and so on. but for all the people that have been writing that i have a question : WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON A VIDEO OR PAGE FROME SECRET LIFE IF YOU DON''T LIKE THE SHOW ? 2 i honestly don'tMore think the show is bad but i do have to say that they can do something more with the show becuz if they are constently getting someone pregnant i won't be going in the write pad i mean there is so much more happening in teenagers life then just sex and getting pregnant. i'm not saying to cancel the show but i do mean let more out then just sex and getting pregnant. like :MADISON AND LAUREN they can do other thing then just speading rumers , they can like go do social avent, help the scool more or just leave the show. grace can hang out more with adrian or socialize more with the others. and there are lots of other thing they can do tell me if you agree or disagree and tell me where you agree or disagree

    The Secret Life of the American Teenager is in my opinion a very good show which aims at revealing what really happens to a pregnant teen. Superb actors are the icing on the cake, especially the incredibly talented Shailene Woodley. hide show

    The Secret Life of the American Teenager is in my opinion a very good show which aims at revealing what really happens to a pregnant teen and then later on to a teenager with a baby. The story has many other realistic and up with the times themes, such as parents who are having their own relationship problems etc. This show is extremely addictive, because the stories told are so very interesting and make you crave to see more! Hopefully this show will stay around for many more seasons! Superb actors are the icing on the cake, especially the incredibly talented Shailene Woodley.

    It is not bad but it is over hide show

    Look i wachted every episode till now. i cant say it is bad becuz it is not but for every person that gets a baby it is a bad inpression for the people out there wachting they will think like what do teenagers do for a life and i dont think it is having sex all day. i am a teenager myself and i dont think that but i do think on another side that i see the show and i see all the problems caused becuz of sex. it really make you wait. Hint: interview real teenagers (will help) mayby

    It sucks. Period. hide show

    I watched one episode of this bland TV series once with my obsessed little sister, who truly thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I thought, 'hey, let's watch an episode, give it a try.' Biggest mistake in a LONG time! This show is absolutely horrid! All it's about is people having sex, getting married, or having babies. Yeah, this isn't how a real American teenager's life is like. This show is a disgrace to teens, and that's saying a lot! Seriously, I watched the episode, and they said 'sex' at least 20-30 times. It's like that is the only thing this terrible show is based upon! Having a pregnancy every season and sex! Who's getting married to who or who's had sex with who!

    Also, completely, COMPLETELY unlikable characters. Amy is whiniest thing I have seen on TV for a long time. And Ricky is just pathetic. These characters are some of the worst, and are so not relatable to today's average teenagers. Go die somewhere you useless, horrible excuse for a TV show. This show is completely unbearable!

    And, yes, that is how truly bad this show is. Where is TV going? Hey, kids, go and do yourself some good and go and watch some of the good, ole cartoons instead of this eye-assaulting excuse of television, m'kay?

    Yeah, that's all.

    Amy Jurgens is a teenager who plays the French horn in the marching band. One summer she goes to band camp and ends up pregnant by a drummer named Ricky who later transfers to Amy's high school. hide show

    Boy am I dissappointed with this show! This show started off good and clean. Now it is progressing sluttishly! Where do I begin? Amy getting pregnant by a bad boy or maybe the same bad boy who kisses Grace who was supposed to be a Christian and the same person, Ricky, who also sleeps with Adrian and kisses Lauren his therapist's daughter.Then you have Ben, I thought he had more sense than sleeping with Adrian. Then you have Grace sleeping with Jack who received oral from Adrian. You know what, whoever, came up with the idea of creating a show that turns innocent, smart people into giant sluts needs a kick in the butt and their butts whipped! What is wrong with the writers of this show? get a clue. I agree with the other reviewers! If the people who wrote this slutty trash can't do any better than this then this show sure's heck needs to be cancelled!
