Terrible Acting, 5 March 2009
1/10
Author: tragicallylostx from United States

this show may have looked good in the previews but once i sat down and watched it i was bored out of my mind. this show is terrible. the acting is awful. they talk w/ no emotion like they're robots. the plot is also horrific. everything is completely unrealistic. anyone who has a baby at age 15 who has a boyfriend thats not the father of the baby is not gonna fly with the whole situation of having a baby. not only is the plot unrealistic the lines are a bit vulgar as well. constantly bombarding teens with this stereotypical bull is insane. if your having a baby at age 15 your not going to act the way amy(main character) acts. she acts as if everything is OK with whats happening. Its almost as if this show promotes sex for young teens. Yeah real smart.
