The Secret Life of the American Teenager/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

 

* It bugs me that this is played as shocking to everyone. To her parents? Yes, it's very realistic they'd be shocked. Her friends? Considering Amy's personality, I can understand their shock. Some of her teachers? Again, yes. However, everyone seems shocked. People who don't even know her are shocked. I grew up in a small, conservative town that prided itself on being a bible-belt town. Teenagers got pregnant every year, some younger than Amy. Sometimes, a girl everyone thought was a goody-goody or too smart to screw up got pregnant and people were surprised. However, most of the time, someone being pregnant was gossip for half a day and it was along the lines of, 'I heard she's hoping for a boy/girl', rather than, 'Omigod, we have a pregnant girl in school!'

* Why aren't Adrian and her mom more pissed off about the fact that Rueben was willing to walk out on them both if Adrian went through with the abortion? Personal opinions and beliefs about abortion aside, that's his ''family''. Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given he walked out on his other family to be with Adrian and her mom.

** Well... you can applied 'personal choice' to a man's right not to have the role of father just as easily as you can to Adrain's right not to be a mother. Either way it's most likely that they knew he was as about as likely to up and leave them and she was in actually having the [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion|abortion]].

** That bugged the shit out of me as well! I mean, the only way for that statement to make sense is if Ricky had given her a date-rape drug of some kind and she had woken up [[Nightmare Fuel|while he was raping her.]] As it stands, she just comes off as a naive twit trying her damnedest not to take responsibility for having unprotected sex.

*** It would had been a saved throw if she would had gone with I initially understood, that she didn't understood he was climaxing inside her until it was too late, but no, they made it so it wasn't even that, like you said, she's just trying not to take the blame even for consensual sex.
