Secret Life of the American Teenager
So the very likeable/cherishable ABC family channel who's known for having programs that touch the heart and provide a sense of unity in family relatable by many people across the nation, has a hit new show that isn't all what families have to be proud of. Teenage sex. Although having a strong theme behind strength in family, family orientation, and sticking to the motto "blood is thicker than water" this family-based show seems to justify and promote underage sex. Personally I dont disagree or defy any of the messages this show is trying to send through viewers across the nation, but I notice a sense of controversy in the show's screenplay and advertisements. Throughout the show it seems as if they throw the word "sex" out about 10x in every scene, and is somewhat the central thesis of the program. But usually in every commercial break or after every episode the producers put in a 20 second infomercial on the cast promoting teen-age abstinence. I don't know what to think, but as much as I want to quit watching the show, I cant.
