It's oddly addicting

Warning: Spoilers
I actually do like this show, but I haven't figured out why. It's addicting for whatever reason.

I think the acting could be a lot better. The guy who plays Amy's father is downright horrible. Overdramatizes everything.

The plot is definitely interesting. And the title catches your eye quickly. It makes you think you will really see the secret life of teenagers. And the idea of a show about a girl who gets pregnant at a really young age and being the central topic hasn't really been done before on TV. Unless I've missed some show that has portrayed this.

I don't really think this is all that accurate though. I doubt Ben would really go after Amy when he found out she was pregnant in real life. And although I'm two years removed from my teenage years, we don't think about sex all day every day. Especially when you get to the latter part where you have to think about college and where you will be going.

I do like the show, but it really wasn't that well put together.
