I hate how this show is completely undermining all abstinence messages. The outcomes of having sex are absolutely absurd! You're dad won't die in a plane crash if you have sex with your boyfriend. Chances are, if you "sort of" have sex at band camp, you're unlikely to get pregnant, and if you're beind "doubly careful" when having sex, then pregnancy is VERY avoidable. Sex isn't this rotten thing that will kill your parents, make you pregnant, or make you a [filtered word]. Sex is something you have to be ready for, sure, but this story line is killing me.
I'm 24, and have been in a sexual relationship for 3 years, we're only "single-ly careful", but my parents are both alive and well, I am not pregnant, nor have ever even expected pregnancy, and no rational person considers me a [filtered word].
Life isn't black and white, and the ridiculous Action-Consequence sequence of this show is really turning me against it fast..
-Kelso
They aren't trying to make sex a rotten thing, they are trying to stress that if your not prepared and just rush into it that things will happen, rather you regret it like Grace and Amy or you end up with a child like Amy and thousands of other teenage mothers who weren't ready and didn't have information on how to prevent it or how to be safe. I do see how the story line is being killed by the mom getting pregnant, but according to how real life goes, this story line is VERY real. Maybe its because your 24 and you are stuck inbetween the parent age and the teen age, but high school and the toss up of sex is very much like this t.v. show. If you have a great problem with a t.v. show trying to cover all aspects of what could happen in a teenage pregnancy to give advice then don't watch it seeing as how it does not really apply to you.
I'm almost 19 and have been sexually active for 4 years, I am on the pill and we have always used a condom, I have also been pregnant about 4 times. So in the case of this t.v. show, I encourage that they keep on track with what they have been doing, because I know I would have loved to see an example of this issue when I was around that age.

wow. people are so dumb. even if you don't believe in God (which btw yes. there are scientific facts to prove he exists so maybe you should research before you talk) you should feel bad based on morals. at 13 there is no way to be reliable for your kid(s) without your parents help. you are legally not allowed to hold a job. you can't own your own house you can't even drive!!! that is not fair to the babies that they may miss out on important things because you were selfish and decided to have sex. not to mention its gross. I think God did punish someone for your sex. He punished your babies because at some point they're not going to get everything they need because you're not a stable parent in a stable relationship. I'm 17 and have been dating the same guy since i was 13. He's almost 19. I love children. That's what i want most out of life is to be a mother. Everytime i babysit or see a happy couple with a baby i'm jealous i want children more than anything else so does my boyfriend. But i'm not having them because it's not mature responsible or fair for me to do that to the children or my family because i'm in school and still would have to rely on my grandparents for babysitting. It's not fair. At 13 there is not really a way for you to make a conscious decision for what is right for everyone. And obviously you didn't. Annnnnnd.for "Kelso"
1.) yes. it is completely possible for "sort of" have sex and get pregnant. it's 100% possible. sperm are made to swim. they have glucose for energy in them and a tail designed to mobilize them. If Ricky had an erection or pre-[filtered word] just fooling around with amy then she could get pregnant. But from saying "almost sex" that probably means at least the head was in her which means that they didn't even have to swim far. If there was not thrusting and he was just in that's "sort of" sex and completely possible to get pregnant.
2.) yes pregnancy can be VERY avoidable but you know what!?! it's not 100%. condoms and birth control are not 100%. My boyfriend's little brother was born while his mom was on the pill and his dad's condom broke.
and if you don't like the show here's an idea. . . DON'T WATCH IT! wow. never thought of that.
*laughs* wht proof? i dont think there's proof that shows tht a supernatural being created the world. The big bang theory... evolution... if anything there's proof against it. and you can say all you want. i dont care, there is nothing you can say that will make me feel any worse about my kids, i just gt bac from the hospital, my son had seizure, and if i had waited, he wouldnt be such a sick baby. so just shut up! get som perspective into someones life before you judge.
"We are all athiests of most gods humanity has ever believed in, some of us just go one god further"
by the way ben and amy need to break up amy is a mom now and ben is so imature he realize on his dad for everything he needs to grow up! so thats why amy and ricky have to be together they are both parents of john so the have to be together
ok soonXtoXbeXteenXmommyX1023 you are so wierd you lost it when you were 13! and you dont believe in god well he was the one who created earth where would you be in mars! so your lucky that your here on earth! and i think losing your virginity at the age of 13 is really wrong and disgusting its like your like " Oh im 13 i am a teen now im gonna go have sex" thats just wrong and i think you are too desperrate to have sex especially at the age of 13
dont be to quickk to judge people that girl lost it after me i was 12 so dont be quickk to judge people god doesnt like it and soonXtoXbeXteenXmommyX1023 im happy that your expecting me and myy boyfriend have been trying for 3 months to have a baby congrads and as for you secretlifelover818 if you dont like the shows messages their sending out dont watchh the show
Desperate? Hah! I was pressured into it. Don't be so quick to judge. I wasnt thinking at the time, and yes I should have waited, just because i was 13 doesnt give ayone the right to judge me, I have ignorant parents and an abusive uncle, you have no idea what my life is like, at that point I wanted to be loved, it was stupid for me to think he would love me, but guess wat? My kids do, and what was the point of all of that? I can't change any of it. I wouldn't if i could. My kids are my whole life, and I am not lucky to be on this earth, i wish i was on mars, away from judemental a**holes. and I don't believe in god, I'm not changing my mind... i am a product of evolution, the big bang theory, and pre-marital sex.

poor grace
wow. if god punishes for having sex i should be dead or my whole family should, Grace really shouldnt blame herself it is not her fault her father died. Tom shouldnt be blaming her.

I agree. Not grace's fault. And a couple of my family members shoul be dead too, if god punishes by death.
"We are all athiests of most gods humanity has ever believed in, some of us just go one god further"
omg it is soo not Graces fault or Adrians. grace shouldnt blame herself and think that god is punishing her for having sex with jack by killing her dad.
~Missy
Woow, Tom is being a bit to harsh! it is definatly NOT grace's faltt! just because she had sex dosent mean that god punishes her like that. She wanted to have sex; its her choice.Yeahh maybe she thought she was ready but i dontr think she was! but hey everyone make mistakes! i lost my virginity at 13!!! but god didnt punish me for it!
:)be happy(:
All I have to say is WOW! You think Grace doesnt desserve to be punished for her actions? Well i most certainly do! I think it is partially Grace's fault for her father's death. I think the fact that she disobeyed God and her own emotions and had sex before marriage (which is a sin and it is VERY wrong) had something to do with the death of her father. Maybe it was not completely Grace's fault, but she is so stubborn! She made a horrible mistake! Virginity is God's most precious gift. And ".jennybaby.", you think its okay to just lose it at 13! Well I have news for you. It's wrong, and you should feel horrible. I actually feel sorry for you. Your guardians should talk to you about sex. My father made it clear to me that sex before marriage is not an option. I would never disappoint him by having sex before I am married. Grace was a great role model, until she became distant to her own emotions.

@ MissPaige:
Not everyone has the same beliefs as you do. I personally believe that God is an idea pulled out of someone's imagination. I also lost my virginity at 13. Do I wish I waited 10 years? Yes. Do i feel horrible or regret it in any way? No. It gave me my beautiful baby boy and girl. I would do anything for my kids. They are my whole life, and I am lucky to have them. I'm not saying you shouldn't believe in God, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but what you said is exactly why I hate religion. Somewhere in the bible it says to love your fellow man, and isn't God supposed to be forgiving? Telling someone they should feel horrible for having sex outside of marriage is extremely innapropriate. Who are you to judge someone else based on their mistakes? Not everyone believes sex is a sin. I don't. I believe u shouldn't have sex until you're ready, but with a person you love and trust, it's natural. I think you should think about the fact that not everyone believes in god, considering, we have no proof that he even exists, before you speak. You should stop making people feel horrible and take a good look at yourself. Do you really want to be the kind of person who makes people miserable because of their mistakes? Stop trying to shove your beliefs down other people's throats. You'll get much farther in life.
It is not Grace's fault in any way! She needs to calm down, and realize that. I enjoy sex too, and guess what? My dad is still alive.
Sincerely,

Listen, i respect your opinion and all, but i have a right to state mine. I feel that sex before marriage is wrong, and im also curious as to what people were thinking. Considering no one is ready at 13. Im actually trying to help people out. You stated you had regrets, right? Well maybe if people wait until marriage (not only for religious purposes) then they will be happier with their life. Its just a thought.
-Paige
Actually, i said had no regrets. i should have waited until i was older. but i didnt and i dont care.
"We are all athiests of most gods humanity has ever believed in, some of us just go one god further"
Yeah Tom was out of line because obviously Grace didn't kill her dad. Please do not break up Grace and Jack!
!Paola!
Grace did not kill her father, stuff happens, good or bad, god is not punishing her. I think it's kinda stupid that the writers chose to kill her dad just after she had sex...how convienient.
I think Amy and Ben are good together, if Ricky and Amy ever got together it would only be because they would think it would be the best for John but sometimes all you can do is be there for the baby.
I personally love Ricky and Adrian, they are the only reason I watch the show. I think the smartest characters are Ashley, George and Adrian.
She had sex. Her father died. And thats it. She could have not have sex and he would have still died.
Tyco
I don't see how Grace killed her father?? He was in a plane crash, the fact that she had sex has nothing to do with that? Could someone explain please.
it waz not her fault at all it waz his time to go xoxoxoxox
i am the secret life's number one fan xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo =0
tom has no right to blame anyone and adrian tried to tell grace not to it was just an unbeleivable accident
-:[
it isnt graces fault, god doesnt punish people like that. it was her dads time to go. if grace thought she was ready to have sex she was. but i do think the writers of the show was wrong to make grace say it doesnt hurt. and that she loved it the first time. a girls first time is special but it is also painful and you dont love it then, well at least thats how i felt. tom is being harsh and he does understand but i dont think he understands a whole lot about god. he thinks god punished them for grace having sex. that is not at all true. but his misunderstanding has nothing to do with down syndrome. i hope anne's baby is georges. her new bf is wierd. and i hope ben and amy stay together but for some reason its like shes pushing him away. shed be stupid to do that. i think its funny that everyone can see bens dads gf is a prostitute but him. i just wonder how thats gonna work out for him. well i cant wait til next week!!
ben and amy are in love and if you cant see that and think ricky is better mabe your should get you eyes check because you just might need some glasses because ben loves amy and amy loves ben
im so sad in previews i saw that ben is breaking up with amy i hate it they r so good together, i think also that graces niceness and softness has rubbed off on adrian that was so nice of her to come over,grace was supposed to be the good girl, but she had sex before ben even, crazy, it was very sad that her fathre died. it is not her fault but i at least think she should of called him maybe, john is so cute ben amy and john are a cute family i cant wait to see what happens next
i think that ricky and amy are gonna get together in this season. grace had nothing to do with her dad dieding he was just a the wrong place at the wrong time. i don't think it was a good idea for grace to have sex
i can see amy and ricky getting together... i think shes noticing that john needs his father and it seems as though ricky is the only one to calm john down... so i think she might make the decision to break up with ben so that her life might be a little easier with ricky taking care of the baby...
OH MY GOSH! This is the best show! I think Rickey and Amy belong togeather and Ben is to over protected and Grace didnt kill her dad cuz she wasnt flyin the plane so she isnt resposible for his death! I also hope the baby is Georges even though he say he cant have children enymore its still possible! The arcatect is crepy and weird I dont like him at allll hes creeepyyy and ewwww its realy wierd but he can jump off a cliff for all i care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's great that Adrian went to give her respects. And Tom may have down-syndrome but the least he can do is realize that it was no ones fault. And the least Grace can do is talk to Adrian.
Amy <3
"Hi john, daddy's here, I love you."
Hello. I think that this is a great show. I love it. It's better then iCarly. Haha.
I watch it almost every Monday night. It's GREAT! I think that Ricky and Amy should be together. They would be a happy little family. Ashley should be a little more helpful to help Amy out some. But I think that this is the best show ever put on television. No joke. I think that Grace is going to turn wild now that her dad died. And everyone shouldn't be blaming Grace for her dads death. She didn't make the plane crash. She just had sex. That can't make a plane crash. And people don't need to be saying that Tom is being harsh, because he has down sydrom and he doesn't understand everything. But I love this show and i've been waiting for this season FOREVER! I can't wait for next Monday. 
i think it was very nice of adrian to come over and try to talk to grace and i think grace was a lil to harsh on adrian i mean adrian tried to help her an she didnt listen! Anywho i LOVE this show!! I hope george is the father of annes baby too!! II cant wait for next week to watch the new episode
emily huston
it think adrian wasnt the reason why graces dad died because she tried to tell grace not to..and grace didnt killl him either it was an unbeleivabe accident.
Secret life rocksss:)
I think it was very nice that adrian came to visit the Bowmens, Tom was a little harsh to blame Grace for their dad's death and to blame adrian for telling Grace that sex is fun. Can't wait till next week. I hope that Grace doesn't lose her faith in God. Go God! God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son to die on the cross for our sins.
-Shailenerules
It was nice of Adrian to visit and try to speak to Grace. I hope that from this, Grace doesn't lose who she is and I hope she doesn't lose faith in God. I can't wait until the next episode.
im starting to like adrian she is realynice sometimes but i wish she would find someones els to date or sleep with then ricky.ricky needs to be with amy and the baby
i think that was really nice of adrian to come over and i think tom was a little to hursh
