like soo many other people i completely agree, Ben is unrealistic, crazy, and a bit creepy. Why doesn't anyone ask these kids why they think marriage would solve the whole "i'm having a baby at 15" situation? Really, what good would marrying a boy you've known for maybe a few months at 15 do...oh and not to mention while you're pregnant with another guys baby? lol the shows pretty ridic but provides decent entertainment

What makes me mad about this show is how Amy always cares about what people think and is irresponsible. She always complains and needs to woman-up. What also makes me mad is how they always talk about Grace's Christianity and like " that Christian girl." Almost everyone in the world is Christian and nobody talks about that. If she was some other religion not as common then that might be plausible. All the people who are like " I'm on team Ricky!" Well it doesn't matter. That is the writers problem and it's not real.

The End

You are one of those people who thinks they know everything. You know nothing. Were you ever a teenager? Doesn't matter, it's true, you're right, the show is not real so please try to act like you know. They read scripts.

And another thing, girls who keep making love as a teen need to stop. You end up prego a lot too. Just don't have save sex, but have sex after you are married. end of story. you are just giving your self away to other guys who are usually taking advantage of you. and if you love that person then marry him so he won't go away as easily. amen.

I like the show alot its very entertaining and completely unreealistic but thats what makes great tv. I think everyone should stop pressuring Amy because at the end of the day its her body and her decision nobody else has the right to tell her what to do and that includes Ricky who is use the baby to get at Grace Bowman which is just f***ing wrong.

Maybe it depends on where you live....but where I'm from, this seems very common. Girls getting pregnant right and left [Amy] people hooking up [Adrienne & Ricky && Jack] and breaking up [Grace & Jack] for the stupidest reasons and saying alot of stuff that they don't mean just because they really "LIKE" someone [Ben] & men just running out on their wife and family at completely the WORST time [Amy's Dad]. I think this show is very realistic especially if they live on the east coast of the US or Canada.

ricky is hot but ben is sweet

Wed, 02/18/2009 - 19:30 — earth bound angel

ben is a MOJOR weirdo... hes not in love hes in lust with amy... someone needs to get that guy a reality check.. but your right ricky is hot but he needs to gow up and stop playing games with all these girls

Fri, 01/23/2009 - 10:34 — babiixjx

i think ricky should definetly be a part of the decision and he should be in the babys life.. it is his baby and not bens

Mon, 03/02/2009 - 17:36 — afillmore.2009

even if it is ricky's baby, if he doesnt want it and ben does, who would be the better father?

All you need is love <3

Fri, 01/23/2009 - 10:10 — babiixjx

ben is kind of creepy.. if i had a boy being so attached to me and wanting to marry me so fast like that i dont know if i would still want to be with him.. amy is pregnant with another guys baby and so he doesnt have a choice in what she does so he needs to stop crowding her

Wed, 02/18/2009 - 19:10 — earth bound angel

omg i totaly agree with you!!! i would be freaked out.. ben needs to back off and let amy make her own decision mean this is her baby after all not his!!! and i would brake up with him to if he wanted to mary me at 15.. its creepy! lol

Mon, 01/19/2009 - 11:25 — xxithinkilyxx

Ricky is so hawt i love him
i wish Ben was the bad one so Amy could go out with him instead
Ricky is so hawtt i love him

Wed, 01/21/2009 - 18:37 — emilykawaii123

I swear to god, if I see another "OMG ricky is sooooooo hot omg I wanna marry ricky" comment I'll vomit. IF you have something intelligent to say, then say it. Despite his "miraculous" and overly romanticized recovery from being a selfish, uncaring jack***, to this guy who appears to be tripping over himself to "be involved", he is what he is. he can change his behavior,but the fact remains that he doesn't care about anyone other than himself.
And what is it with all these kids throwing out "I love you, I wanna marry you"'s like they're going out of style? This isn't anything like real life. Yes, Ben is obsessive because he is not a character based on anything real. Many of his sentiments are quite real, but meeting a girl and suddenly deciding that he wants to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her ( despite the fact that this is his first relationship). I'm sorry, just a few bones I have to pick with this show.

Sat, 01/17/2009 - 14:15 — tennispro6060

i like this show but i think that 9th grade is too young for all this drama. They should have made them at least juniors in high school and when they are actually like 16 or 17 years old kids.

Sun, 01/18/2009 - 22:39 — bmhscolorguardmember

I think that Amy and Ricky sould get married

Wed, 02/18/2009 - 19:21 — earth bound angel

do you really??? they are only fifteen years YOUNG! they have no buisness getting married,..... its not smart 4 them to get maried.. in a few years amy will be tired, annoyed, and creeped out(wich she already should be) of [filtered word] clingy and obsesive ben is! he jus tneeds to bak the heck off and give amy some space...

Tue, 01/13/2009 - 19:43 — Danielle Wilson

Well i think that Ricky should be with Adrian and Grace should find some one eles and because its wrong that when Grace says 2 Ricky i love u and ricky says i love ,but when Adrian said do u love me he doesn't say asay any thing its just wrong because Adrian really loves ricky and they should be 2gthercause there just alike i love Ricky and Adrian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And i know it's not about this episode but o well Ricky and Adiran Forever

Wed, 02/18/2009 - 19:18 — earth bound angel

awww dang you ruined it 4 me i stopped at this episode lol.... but i agree ricky and adrian should be toether and ricky only told grace that he loves her because hes trying to get her in bed with him.. the only person that guy loves (as of now) is him self...

Sat, 01/10/2009 - 13:16 — dfunke2009

Amy will follow her heart and go with the guy who she really belongs with. That's not Ricky all. Sorry to burst that teen aged minded bubble of yours here. She should go with the guy who loves and respects her as a woman and as a friend. Ricky can't even respect himself let alone any one else and he's with that [filtered word] Adrian. Sure that actress is HOT but her character just grates on ya after a while. And what's with miss goody two shoes Grace any who she's bugging me as well. ARG. Also those two wanna be friends of Amy's haven't been seen for a while. She trust them with the info and what do they do blab it all over and Ben's two friends hear it and poof the whole world knows. Be very careful who you trust with your valuable info there peeps. Just saying.

Wed, 02/18/2009 - 19:23 — earth bound angel

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Thu, 01/08/2009 - 16:48 — Ohio_girl

Amy and Ricky should b together. i don't like Ben. I mean he told Amy he loved her after the 1st date and he wants to marry her when shes having another guy's baby. It's nice but a little weird.

Sun, 01/18/2009 - 20:57 — erieden101

I agree! I was like "Slow it down a notch.."
He says he loved her when he didn't even know her like that!

You have to understand that when writing a series like this, it needs to be of a decent length, but it can't be too much of the same. It would not be entertaining for you to watch through 25 episodes named... "Date 1" "Date 2" "Date 3" It's not realistic for them to fall in love after the first date, but it CAN happen, and this IS Tv.

Sat, 01/03/2009 - 21:25 — SweetPoison03

First I kinda became hooked on this show..though a bit cheesie and sex centered..I dont like Ben..hes obessive. And this is kinda unrealistic of what happens when a very young teen gets pregnant..a 15 year old guy is VERY VERY unlikely to stick around and acctually wanna take care of the baby..ESPECIALLY when its not his. And neither of them are ready for marriage..and Second. If Rickie is willing to step up and take responsibility they should encourage him, and not push him away because ifs very very rare for the father of a baby in a pregnancy of young teen.

Sat, 01/03/2009 - 20:58 — EstelaMartinez

Ben should not be so noisy! Amy didn't want Ben to go to the free clinic but he payed Adrian 250 dollars to take him. He needs to leave her alone!

Sat, 01/03/2009 - 18:45 — TeamEdwardalltheway

In think that Rikky should have a say in HIS own baby's life. I think that the mom is the only one who is being rational in this episode. If Rikky wants to know about his baby and take responsibility then people should encourage him!!! Not just throw him out of the house!!!

Sat, 01/03/2009 - 12:59 — xSecretLifex13

I love this episode! However, I dislike Ricky and Amy's dad because they can't make up their minds about anything, or control their anger. I also don't like how Ricky is all of a sudden wanting to become a part of this baby's life. I think Ben and Amy should take care of their baby 100% without Ricky. He probably won't even need to pay for child support or anything like that because Ben has enough cash. But this is totally up to Amy and her family. Can't wait for the next episode, let alone the next season!

ok one this is rickys baby to... NOT bens.. ben needs to stop beeing so damn nosy and obsessive and back the heck off... if ricky is trying to be man enough to take at leaste a little bit of responsibility wich is more than a lot of guys in this situation can say then tehy should at leaste allow him to try it out..

Thu, 01/01/2009 - 18:09 — katiebug94

ugh its so annoying it gets to a good part and then it doesnt work anymore.

Does someone wanna tell me why this [filtered word] (

Tue, 10/21/2008 - 11:47 — roofyh@yahoo.com

Does anyone else realize how annoying Ben is?
AHHHGG
He reminds me of this person I know, that I always avoid. I can't stand him!
Maybe Amy is just way nicer than me. Probably.
But Amy's dad is a sucker.
