The Secret Life of an (Increasingly Atypical) American Teenager

A little blurb from Nick Gillespie in Reason...

ABC Family’s hit Monday night series The Secret Life of an American Teenager offers salacious plots and characters not normally associated with Disney, the network’s corporate owner. The show’s protagonist is Amy Juergens, a 15-year-old girl knocked up during a single wild night at band camp. Since this is ABC Family, she keeps the baby after considering adoption and abortion...

But with fewer and fewer high schoolers having intercourse...Secret Life is less a description of reality than an anxiety-inducing fantasy for curious kids and worried parents alike.

It was interesting to read this from a secular, socially-liberal publication like Reason...
