Those Histrionic Teenager Shows

You know what I'm talking about right? Shows like The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Let us take a look here, yes?

The show deals with Amy whose life is flipped upside-down because of a pregnancy. The father just happens to be the sexual conqueror named Ricky.

Now let's stop here. Why is this so bad? So far it's not. It's typical. There's that typical night of confusion and possible drunkenness with the guy who just happens to have slept with every girl in sight. The next morning, the girl wakes up and feels a bit funny. Next, she remembers that neither of them (or possibly the third person) used protection and now she's pregnant. Continue?

Amy falls in a relationship with Ben, the nerd. Ben is like...crazy for Amy and gets very clingy and eventually proposes.

Stop again. That is NOT typical. Not typical at all. It's too dramatic! Nobody proposes after a month of dating. I'm serious. So take this. Those teenager shows that claim to depict teenagers the way they are stretch the reality way too much. Don't believe, but it really is a good source for a solid laugh. That is why I watch them. Pure laughter.
