Actually at the end of episode Amy says son and on cell phones it reads "It's a boy!"

As for Ben and amy, Ricky seems to be advising him to get out of relationship while he can. The last scene you see is Ben telling Amy "It's not my baby" and he walks away. I think Amy is crying too.

That scene made me so sad and angry at the same time. Ben's been there through everything, and it's hard to watch him say something like that. But it made me angry because it's not something he'd say on his own, because he loves her so much and has been there through everything.

So. Yeah. I don't want to wait til next week!
 
I think Ben has been in love with a fantasy of him and Amy. I think he believed that everything was going to turn out ok and that they would live happily ever after. I think he's finally getting a reality check. I'm not saying he doesn't love Amy, but I think he's finally seeing not everything is going to work out the way he had hoped.

I'm curious to why Ricky is telling Ben to get out of the relationship. Is it because he knows something Ben doesn't or that he still has feelings for Amy? Prehapes It's something else entirely. I guess we will have to wait tell next week to find out.

Note:

I would say that a con about the latest episode was it seemed that many of actors were overacting, at least until the last half of the episode.
 
Oh... so it is a boy.
I agree with the overreacting part. Espeically with Amy's mom and Ricky's dad... and with Amy's dad it was just expected. And I think that they have waaay too many connections- like Amy being a pregnant teen and her mom being a pregnant teen, Ricky's situation and now Grace's dad's brother's situation... too much.
Amy BETTER stay with Ben if she's smart. And I don't know whether Ricky should go with Adrian or Grace... it's obvious they both love him...
 
I think Ricky if he changes his ways, if he breaks the cycle he will end up with Grace. If he doesn't, if he chooses the quick and easy path he will end up with Adrian and eventually break her heart. As for Ben and Amy, my question is if Amy really loves Ben. She says she does, but then Ricky said the same to Grace. So I'm curious to find out how it works out.

Okay, so, I watched the season finale. Not sure why, but I can give the reasons why I don't like the show with justification:

1. the VERY carefree attitude about premarital sex. At first, I was applauding Grace for her decision, but at the end...I'm wondering how much she's going to compromise or break her promises completely. Especially with the whole scene of her taking birth control pills. Wow. can we denote Christians any further? Or, is it sadly true? I say the latter. Unfortunately, that whole thing was realistic. How many Christian teens make decisions\promises to wait and then break them? too many. But it also would have been realistic had Grace followed through on her promises and not gotten involved with a guy who seemingly doesn't share her beliefs.

2. There seems to be no regret on the part of Amy. Now, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that way. It seems like there's a big deal over her being pregnant, but the big deal is how she got there in the first place. Nothing is really said about it. And, her mom getting into a relationship with another man while she's married? This show has no morals whatsoever.

I don't see the big draw in it, or while it should be watched. It left a bad taste in my mouth. And while I commend whoever makes this series for having Amy keep the baby, it doesn't justify the show or what it promotes. It doesn't denote premarital sex; if anything, it promotes "safe sex" of which there is no such thing.

If this show never comes back from this finale, that's perfectly fine with me. I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about it.
 
I stopped watching the show a while ago. I was hoping that it wasn't going to become another teen drama, that it would promote good morales like 7th Heaven, that it would be a open door for young people to talk to thier parents about sex. Instead it has like most phenomions, turned into a institute of the world that will probably create more problems than solve. I agree with you now Aravis, I'm sick of this series and I really could care about the season finale.
 
Drat!! You beat me to this! :p

Well, my mom and I watch this show together(awkward much? :p )And I do have to say that it's really good. Unfortunately, we haven't been caught up on a lot of episodes for a while and so we need to start watching the show again. To me the show is kind of like the movie Juno, except that it's stretched out in to a series and is more serious. I like Amy the best. She is such a sweet character and is going through a hard time trying to figure out what to do with her baby. I also really like her boyfriend. He's cute! :D
 
From the time it aired, I thought it sounded incredibly stupid. I haven't seen the show yet, and I don't plan to. Since I haven't seen it, though, I don't think it would be fair for me to harangue about sexual immorality. So I'll leave it at that. :D
 
The question you have to ask yourself when it comes to the Secret Life is does the ends justify the means? Is it worth it to watch a bunch of teens be irresponsible by having sex out of wedlock to learn that having sex outside of wedlock isn't wise or safe? I know you can question everything this way, but when it came to this show I decided that a good message at the end of episode didn't justfy the behavior of the characters. Take Amy's mother for an example, she teachs Amy about being responsible and making right choices, but then she goes and does the opposite. She walks in complete duplicity.

I hoped that this show would show broken teens who learn from the bad consequences and try to rectify thier wrongs and do the right thing the next time around. Instead it seems the series has suffered the fate of all teen dramas. I was very disspointed with this series and I think that if you happen to get into it and get a good lesson then great, but for everyone else I recommend you stay clear of The Secret Life.
 
My older sister is like obsessed with this now...she watches it whenever she can.

I've never seen it myself...not on any of my channels I dont think.

I once was obessed with it, but now I am activist against The Secret Life. Well sorta, I just refuse to watch the show anymore.
 
From what I've heard about it....it's kinda made me against the whole thing. I never believed in the whole having a kid before you're married thing. My sister doesn't care about that like I do cause she...isn't a Christian..like at all.
