wow Amy is a B****. She is so inconsiderate of all of the people that have helped and supported her decision to keep John. It also doesn't occur to her that taking a newborn out of the country and expecting to mooch off of Ben and his father's money isn't a good idea. The whole idea of Amy going to Italy is so selfish.
Thank GOD the writers of this show don't listen to you guys who post the dumbest comments ever on this blog. It really gets annoying how incredibly unaware some of you are. Shailene Woodley has said numerous times, particularly in an interview that took place a couple weeks ago, that Amy is completely 100% in love with Ben and Ricky is the furthest thing from her mind. The only reason they speak to each other is because of John. Other then that they have absolutely nothing in common. Also, don't look for her and Ricky to hook-up, at least not this season. Amy and Ben all day long!

i think amy should leave ben 4 amy bc he only got with her anyways bc he was desperate and ricky is sooo much better for amy especially while amy is bein mean bc he can handle it better
♥mika♥
♥amy & ricky♥
i really hope amy goes 2 italy with ben and falls in love again so that amy will stop being such a biotch!....im for amy and ricky being 2gether, but i want amy 2 be normal again!....maybe she will stay and her and ricky will fall in love...that would be good cuz ricky needs to be around his son!.....i have a feeling another main teen is going 2 get preggers!...i heard that rumor willis will be playing a prego teen and gets advice from amy! but she will only be in one episode!
amy has gotten SO SO bratty. i reeeally wish she wasnt with ben though. i HATE ben. he is SO annoying. i think amy and RICKY should be together but only if amy stops being a brat. i <3 grace and jack together. oh and ps, stop saying "oh im 13 and pregnant its not a big deal" because your lying to get attention and it IS a big deal. having unprotected sex is a huge deal. it could lead to worse problems than teen pregnancy. it could lead to HIV or aids or other diseases and people DIE. you just look like a slutty little wannabe when you pretend to be pregnant
Amy is such a [filtered word]. Why would Ben want to take her to Italy when she acts like that?
Amy really is annoying me this season (so far anyway). Yeah, I know she had a baby, and that adds a lot of stress, but she is just being almost unbearable. I like what Ashley said a couple of episodes ago "When are you going to actually start enjoying your son?" I think that was a really good question. And about Amy going on that trip with Ben... I don't think she should go at all. She needs to know that when life gets hard you can't just try to leave your problems behind and take a break from it, because that's not always how it works. You have to work through it. And Ben shouldn't feel guilty for not wanting to take her and the baby, because is a young teenager he needs to see what else is out there before he gets too serious about anyone. He doesn't have to tie himself down at 15 years old.
And I will be honest, at first, I was rooting for Amy and Ben. But then, Ben started really annoying me because he was soooo clingy. Now, I wish him and Amy would break up because they seem more bothered by each other than having an actual relationship. And Amy really should be with Ricky. I didn't like Ricky at the beginning of the show, but I like him now, he's really trying to be there for his son, and he's really grown up since last season. I don't agree with everything he does, but he has grown up a lot. Plus I think that he'll be really good for Amy, he's not scared of Amy like Ben is and he tells Amy what she needs to hear. I think Ben fulfilled his part in Amy's life and they just need to move on.
i definatly agree, amy has been being very overly mean, like crazy mean, and i cant belive ben is taking it in as good as he is, and i think amy and the baby should go on the trip, it will really show ben and amy how it will be if it ws just them to, and maybe amy will grow up a little and relize how ben is always just trying to make things better. and maybe ben will relize what a real marriage would be like. ive been contenplating (cnt spell (: ) wether amy and ben should break up, and i think he should just burst on her, turn the tables, bring up the fact amy hasnt been nice once since john came. and i really really hope she dosnt end up with ricky, hes a smooth talker, and is good at everything, but i hate to see the bad guy win.
hha thats just my 2 cents (:
i love this showwww
omg whts goin on withamy latly. shes the 1 who made the choice to keep the baby and im proud she is. but she needs to grow up. i mean shes not an adult. she a teenage mom. and she might need a braek, but ben needs 1 2. and its so selfish tht shes invitin herself. an the bby with out askin ricky. shes lucky tht hes helping out, and she dont c tht it could b ll lot worse, so shes bn a spoiled brat. aghhhhhhhhhhhhh. it makes me so madd,

AMY & RICKY.

ricky is attractive, good at everything, but he isnt a good person. but see thats what girls like, which is why i love this show, who ever is writting it is so realilistic, normally in a show like this, the good guy, always diong the right thing would win, but this is very real, and you cant say whos gonna win, yeah ricky is being pretty good about the kid, but i (just as ben can) can tell secretlty amy want the heck outa ricky now. shes just gonna end up more hurt with him.
amy+ben=<3
Amy knew that having a baby would be A LOT of work, so why does she act like she hates her son. She is so mean to everyone who is trying to help her. She needs to stop being so bossy. Yeah, sure having a baby has made her have to grow up, but that doesn't mean that she is an adult. In the episode "Maybe Baby" she wanted so badly to keep this baby, and in all of the episodes leading up to his birth she seemed to love him, but now it's as if she despises him. PLEASE STOP MAKING AMY ACT LIKE A B***H! IT'S RUINING THE SHOW!
I understand that having a baby IS a lot of responsiblity, and that having to stay up will make her crabby, but I miss the sweet quiet Amy, who never wanted to be mean to anyone. ABCFamily, please change her character back. She is turning into such a b***h. I like what you have done with Ricky, having him step up to the plate. But when Ben goes away, he should cheat on Amy, causing her to realize that she was driving him away. But Ben doesn't want Amy back, so she goes to Ricky. BUT PLEASE MAKE AMY STOP BEING A B***H!
I think that Amy is acting soooo selfish. Does she not realize the world doesn't revolve around her? She needs to lose that bad attitude and actually enjoy her son. Everytime I watch the show I just wanna tell Amy off because the way she's acting is really immature and annoying.
Ben needs to quit being so clingy, and he needs to stand up to Amy and quit letting her boss him around.
I think Anne needs to dump David and get back with George.
I loooove this show a lot, but Amy needs a SERIOUS attitude adjustment!
AbbyLee:)
AMY IS OUT OF CONTROL. I don't think she understands that she is 15. She is NOT an adult. And the fact that she's been being so selfish is not helping her grow up. She needs a reality check. She has needed a reality check the entire show. She needs to learn that the world does not revolve around her and that she is in charge of another human being's life now. She can't just take him out of the country without asking Ricky first. She may think that because she carried the baby for nine months and the baby lives with her that Ricky has absolutley no say, but he does. John is his son too. She needs to let Ben go to Italy without her and John. Ben also has some growing up to do. He needs to suck it up and tell Amy that he doesn't want her and John to go to Italy with him. So basically, both Amy and Ben have a lot of growing up to do.

Okayyyy honestly I love Amy. But enough is enough...yeah you are missing out on everything but you should've used a condom. It's not that hard. 8/ but still Ben should just tell her the truth and I think Ricky is awesome and quit bashing him! He does all he can without moving into Amy's house. I mean come on. I would like Amy with either one of these guys So to me it doesn't matter. 8 )
Rai:)
i think ben should just break up with her, intill he gets back, that way he doesnt have to take her, its not his fult that she got pregnant and had a baby. not to be mean ot anything, but i think ben needs to see something different and not have like a long distance with amy, only because he might find someone out there and fall in love so you never know what could happen. i cant wait to see what happens.

Forget Ben being slapped, someone needs to slap that girl. Seriously. "I took a stand" and telling Ricky he doesn't get a say. ugh. yeah, yeah, I know, she's tired and crabby and does have to miss out on everything. Everyone has pointed that out and I agree to a point. But now she is just being a selfish brat. John is only almost 3 months and she wants to take him to Italy because she's tired of having to stay home with him? ugh. Ben needs to confront Amy and say, "I need some time to myself. You can't come with me, and you can't tell me what to do." and, also, why's everyone bashing Ricky? all you Amy/Ben fans who are saying Ricky isn't helping out enough, what do you want him to do, move in? he can't watch John that often or else Ben would get jealous or Amy would snap at him or something. he's trying as best as he can if you ask me.

To start off I do agree that Amy is being a bit selfish. But I also remember that Ben was undecisive on whether of not to invite Amy in the first place he should have told Amy no to start off with and now it is too late the longer he lets her push him around he won't be able to back out. BUT we must ALL remember that these are just actors playing thier roles.
Amy makes my skin crawl she has a son when you become a mother you have to think what is best for them not you it's extermely selfish what she's doing with this italy thing!!!! I also think she acts as if it's her mother's responseablity to watch John which it's hers. And if she want everyone to think she's an adult I belive she should start acting like one by not whinning and accepting what she has to do and make the best out of it!
To all those talking about Ricky being a drop in dad. Its because she won't let him take John with him, otherwise I'm very sure he would take him on weekends or during the week.
The problem with parents are that they don't check their kids and put them in their place like they are supposed because if they did then they wouldn't act like that.
i agree with just about everyone here. i understand that amy feels like she never gets to go anywhere oatr do anything but ben really needs this for himself. he has done so much for amy and has to go through alot for amy the least amy can do is let ben go alone and let him have some fun because ricky is right if ben was going to get into trouble he does not need to go to italy to get into trouble.
Yea I am sorry to say for all you Amy/Ricky lovers that this website is not the only website that has "secret life" info on it. Just go to MSN.com and click tv and then "secret life" and it gives details on shows up until late august. and in 6 episodes the details are.... "Amy tries to keep Ben's attention; Grace makes an impression on Adrian" if Amy and Ben are gonna break up it not gonna be bc of italy (which through details of other episode details no one ends up going) if amy is trying to keep bens attention that means they are still together. I think Amy is gonna have post pordon depression (spelling?) bc its rates are very high in tennagers after giving birth and i think that is why she acts the way she does. that and lack of sleep. think about this, she goes to school, then to work (which is at a daycare taking care of alot of other babies), and then back home to take care of jon, homework, cleaning, and everything else and up through out the nite with jon when he cries..... after doing all that would you actually be nice and a great person with no additude going after that and only a couple hrs of sleep EVERYNITE? yeah some of us only sleep a couples of hrs a nite for a nite or too and are fine but we get to catch up on our sleep. she never does. and if you havent forgotten Amy was the first one out of her and Ben to try and have sex together. It was in the first season. and Ben said no and his reasons why. Now Amy is saying no and her reason why. I think deep down they really love each other and they know that and its gonna carry them along. yea they are gonna have hard spots and fight but i think they we be together in the end. and yes ricky is stepping up to the plate and trying to be a dad, but look at his past, and what he is still doing now. why would ne one want ricky and amy to be together. Ricky NEVER had feelings for her back in band camp. It was all a show to have sex with her. and at the beginning of the school year he never shown one interest in her. Also remember everything Amy has put Ben through throught-out the preganty.... He was always there no matter what!!! Willing to do whatever he could do. Always coming up with plans to help her and her future baby. Ricky never did that with her. Ricky never should ne interest in Amy until Amy was thinking about giving the baby up for adoption. And Honestly would want their boyfriend/girlfriend to go off the summer to a place that is known for sex alone. Would you be okay with it if it was ur bf/gf? I dont think you would be, baby or not.
javeritt
I like your post and agree with most of it but I think Ben does go because msn.com says "Ben prepares to leave on a trip." The episodes just show the start of summer and then the following episode is the end of summer. Kind of confusing but supposedly Ben sleeps with a girl while in Italy. I think he stays with Amy while in Italy but when he comes back feels bad/confused about it and then breaks up with her. I don't know I read that he hooks up with a girl on IMDB.com. I'm trusting it because the person also listed episodes that are on the msn.com site well listed the descriptions. I agree with not wanting your bf/gf to go to a city known for sex alone. However, I don't know if they will be together in the end, simply because the Ben character is written to be annoying, and just over the top. The writers are just now starting to take down his craziness love with Amy so I think in season 1 he was suppose to be the guy that just wanted to get a girlfriend and be serious right from the gate. But in season 2 they are starting to tone him down and make him interested in other girls besides Amy because he had her and it didn't work out because she is kind of mean...even for having a child. There are girls out there in her same situation and I doubt that they treat the person they "love" this way.
We won't ever know until these episodes actually happen though so it's going to be a joy to watch
wow, you've got great insight
I agree about Ben and Amy, he's been there for her since day one offering her support and although Ricky has stepped up as a father, I believe in the unconventional family, just because two people have a baby together doesn't mean it's necessarily the best thing for the child.
But Amy knew the responsibility she was getting into so she has no reason to be pissed at anyone. Also if she doesn't want Bens eyes wondering then don't dree with your [filtered word] hanging out and short skirts, then say no because then your teasing the guy on purpose which is totally [filtered word] up. Then she has this demanding attitude and playing all these head games especially in the preview of next episode, who wouldn't want to ditch her for Italy for the summer.
WHY DOES AMY NEED TO GO TO ITALY WITH BEN?
AND WHY DOESNT RICKY GET A SAY SO WITH THE DECISION.. IF I WAS ONE OF THEM I WOULD BUST HER IN HER MOUTH!! 
~bReEzy~
i agree i think she acting like b****
OMG! Amy is so annoying lately!
"It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all."
I HATE Amy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeeeeeeeeeesh!!! keep your pants on , it's just a show. and, yeah , she is really rude and demanding lately.
softballA13:check-boom!!
Amy is getting on my last nerve, she is being selfish and annoying. She dosent even have the courtesy to be nice to ben give him a hug, kiss him, etc. But she wants him to take her to italy. If i was ben i would dump her and find somone who deserves me.
I now right? That's what I'm sayong.
A friend.
I really appreciate brooklyn0829's comment. He is the only person I FULLY agree with. Ben loves Amy and Im starting to think Amy just uses Ben to her convience. Ben is my favorite character I do however wish that just One time when Amy has one of her temper tantrums he would sit her down and be a man for a change.
Also someone tell me RIGHT-NOW why everyone says it should be Amy + Rickey.
Thanks! I'm glad you appreciated it, lol. I just write what I observe.
Brooklyn
Totally, i am pretty sure people want ricky and amy together because he's hot, or they did the nasty.... i realy try not to care anymore about the reasons behind some of these guy's fantasies for the show. Btw, I COMPLETELY AGREE. Nobody is telling amy how b*tchy she's been lately.
softballA13:check-boom!!
Amy is acting like such and @ $ $ she wanted to keep John, now she has to deal with the consequences. John's only been alive for 10 weeks. Go ricky! Ben needs a spine.

Amy is not an adult because she had a baby. And I feel Amy can not take John to Bologna w/ out Ricky's permission. John is to young to be taken out of the country w/ Amy and Ben. Amy quite being such a

[filtered word] Ben doesn't have to take Amy w/ him it's his uncles hotel it would be diffferent if it were Amy's uncle.

Amy needs to knock off her attitude, and grow up, she's being a [filtered word]. And Ben needs to stand up for himself, like Ricky's trying to make him do.
