Over last summer I started watching The Secret Life of the American Teenager. I was excited about this show because the topic and the fact that one of the original brat pack members was in it. The show is about a high school freshman who becomes pregnant by a popular older boy. The series centers around this girls adjustment into high school and the problems she faces with being pregnant at the same time.
I enjoyed the first few episodes of this show but then the main character Amy and other characters start to make strange decisions. One of the episodes even involves Amy contemplating abortion. I know that this is a teen issue but I just didn't like the way the characters acted about the situation. Also the boyfriend to Amy, Ben, tries to marry Amy. I personally don't see how this happens in a real teen's life.
Another disappointment was Molly Ringwald, who plays Amy's mom Anne. I just found her to do a poor job at this role. She just seems like she's trying too hard. The character is also in support of her daughter having an abortion.

I didn't watch much of this show this past second season and I probably won't watch the next seasons to come. However I haven't lost faith in Molly so to revive herself, I will have to watch Pretty In Pink.
