I have been watching the show since Season 1, Episode 1, and I just realized about 10 episodes no probably more than that, that Molly Ringwald is in this made for t.v. show about how raising a teenager the best that you can. And it has emotion, and a lot of WOWS but overall I think their are a few up and coming actors or actresses and Molly Ringwald how cool to see her acting again. In my opinion there is some good acting going on.

I have finally seen the most annoying character ever to have been on film, Ben Boykewich , and just when this annoyance went on the whole time another character, Ethan, show up to bolster the show with the same stupid things.As this wasn't enough the show starts up with the gay push which goes over the top in extending the gay agenda, with the stupid lines of, "not there is anything thing wrong with being gay". It's amazing that the gay community is so comfortable with having there lifestyle constantly put out as a normal showcase for the world to have pushed down their throats.This could have been something to watch if nothing else was on if the character annoyances and agendas were left out.

This has to be the worst television show ever. While I haven't been a teenager for quite awhile, I do know these are no where near realistic portrayals of teens. In fact, the adults aren't realistic either. Even if the acting wasn't horrible, there is nothing likable about any of these characters. From Ben, (a character I'm assuming you're suppose to like) a controlling, obsessive, overbearing, jerk of a boyfriend (doesn't matter how often he says he loves Amy, he's constantly talking Amy into doing what HE wants), to Grace's father, who discusses patients with his wife, who then talks about those patients with their teenager daughter (real ethical, super Christians)! The show tries to preach abstinence, poorly, but it also seems like it's trying to make adoption a poor choice for the two teenage parents involved. There are so many problems with these story lines (that all have to do with sex, by the way)that it's impossible to list them all. I would advise to stay away from this poorly written, poorly acted show. It's dangerous for young impressionable kids, who may not realize this show is just a huge stereo type that does not portray real life and true consequences of choices. I can't believe this show was on as long it was. Yikes.

Watching season 1, the most sickening thing was seeing Amy being judged and bullied into keeping the baby when she was making the right choice of finding a good family for him. Especially sickened by her sister's judgmental ranting - her words could practically have come from the mouth of an old-world grandma, not a kid. A prop used by writers to bung in some old-fashioned judgment at the teen mom. Where are the adults and why don't they speak up and explain that Amy is making the right choice? When Amy says - with perfect sense - that she cant be a good mom at 15 the stupid kid simply says "What if you could be" Really? How would that happen and in what universe. And what does she know about it? In a society where adults are having a tough time raising kids why would anyone insist that a kid take on this responsibility. Then she goes on to describe how Amy can do it and still get educated etc. But why should she have to when there's a better option? OK she made a mistake but she's a kid. Forcing an unwanted responsibility on someone who's not ready - in what way is this good for the baby? "Why do you think this is a bad thing" - are you kidding? The worst one was "We could all become better people" - Hey, its your job to provide the baby with a good home, not his job to raise you. The sister - and the writers of this show - are going with emotional reaction, judgement and guilt - NOT with any responsible thought for the baby or the teen mom. Both Amy and the baby deserved a better choice than the bad decision forced on her by guilt. Disgusting.
