This week on The Secret Life of the American Teenager a lot of good and bad things happened. Personally I was shocked by the things that happened. If you haven’t watched it before you’re missing out. But ill be nice and tell you some of the characters and the what’s happened so far.
Amy was the teenager that got pregnant at the beginning of last season. Rickey got her pregnant at band camp. When she got back from band camp Amy went on a date with Ben and got sick. That’s when she figured out she was pregnant. Amy goes to New York for a music program. In the later episodes Amy breaks up with Ben because he got another girl pregnant. This leads to her and Rickey exploring the relationship they thought would never exist.
Rickey is the father of Amy’s baby, the babies name is John. Rickey has always been the trouble maker. He constantly hooks up with Adrian and many other girls. He never wants to settle down, but Adrian starts to make him fall in love. This all changes when Adrian gets pregnant. Ricky starts to realize that Amy could be the one to change him and he wants to with Amy.
Ben is the father of Adrian’s baby, they were trying to get back at Amy and Ricky. It didn’t work out in the end, because Adrian got pregnant. Ben is still in love with Amy though, he went to New York to see her and tell her about Adrian. Amy was angry and told Ben she’ll talk to him when she wants. Ben decides that he will propose to Adrian, to prove he cares.
Adrian is the new pregnant teen. She has always been promiscuous. She contemplated abortion, but Ricky’s mother changed her mind. She keeps the baby, and Ben decides that was what he wanted too. Ben gives her a ring and, she starts to think that her and Ben could be more than friends.
This week Amy came home from New York because she wanted to see Ricky and John. When she got home she had a talk with Ricky about what he had been doing while she was in New York. He told her that he hadn’t done anything, and she doesn’t really believe him. In the end Ricky tells Amy he’ll go sleep in bed with her, but the conversation wasn’t over for Amy. She just keeps bringing in up, which makes Ricky mad so he goes lay on the couch.
At the end of the show you see that Ricky stayed at Amy’s and Ben stayed at Adrian’s. Even though Ben told his dad he was just going to stay home. I think that this shows that Ben really does care about Adrian. He just can’t let go of Amy. But Adrian can’t let go of Ricky. In this episode you find out that some people just cant let go of the people they used to be with. For example Jack admits that he still cares about Grace, at the beginning of last season they had sex but broke up.
I think that this show connects with all types of audiences and it shows what real teens go through. I think that adults and teens can all learn from this show. I love it and I enjoy watching it. Its on every Monday, so go watch it!(:
Don't you worry that it gives teens the impression that sex and pregnancy are totally casual and acceptable things? I think television shows like this may be why we continue to see kids becoming sexually active at younger and younger ages and more and more teenage mothers. I know some would make the argument that art is only imitating life, but I'm not so sure that is the case.
ReplyDeleteI love this show! I watch it every time it's on! I disagree with Mr. Ogle, because this show proves being a teen mom can really suck and there are so many things in life that will be effected because of your baby. But I think Mr. Ogle says we shouldn't watch these shows because he's a parent. My parents say the same thing. They don't think I should be watching these kinds of shows. But I still do because I love following them :)
