Episode 11 - The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Thanks for stopping by our blog! You can read about previous episodes of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" by clicking the label "Media" here or at the end of this post. You can watch some of the episodes online here (click the tab called "Full Episode"). Here are a few points from Episode 11 (the Season One Finale), with some items to discuss with your teens.

Episode 11 was scattered on a lot of storylines: Ricky being in therapy; Adrian running away; Adrian not wanting her father to be involved in her life; Madison's gossiping; Lauren wanting to be special to Ricky; Henry & Alice deciding they just don't like having sex together; Ricky kissing Grace; Anne (Amy's mom) saying she wants to divorce George; Ben & Amy deciding they will wait to have sex. Talk to your kids about each of these situations. Did the characters handle things the right way? What could they have done differently?

The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy also has a discussion guide for episode 11 (pdf).

We blogged about each episode in season one: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
