Big Disappointment

Ok, so this is my second review for this show. My first one was for the first season, and like this review, it won't be glowing.
The whole idea of the story is good. ABC Family was right to make a show that dealt with this topic. HOWEVER, the acting is less than believable and is so bad that it makes the show hard to watch. Also, the storylines are sometimes just ridiculous-- this is NOT how most teenagers deal with pregnancy and I think the creators and writers of the show missed the mark on what REAL amercian teenagers deal with. I don't find (most) of the show believable. I think the acting stinks, and what seemed like a great new show idea suddenly becomes a show that I FORCE myself to watch because it's spending time with my kids.
Hey, ABC FAMILY, let's show the world how it's cool to be a whiny, lazy, and unappreciative teenager like AMY who is not setting a good example for the amercian teen population. If my daughter EVER acts like that I would be appalled! I absolutely cannot believe that AMY acts like such a spoiled little brat on the show. Her character wants everything done for her and does little for herself-- and whines and is so lazy that I almost don't want my kids watching this show because then THEY may think it's OK to act like that when it's not.
The show would have been better off with actors who make their characters believeable and who can truly act. I also think that the writers of the show missed the mark in making the character of AMY the way she is.... and it's not setting a good example for the kids out there who look up to her. Instead, give us a person who has the struggles but WORKS hard to overcome them. THAT is something the kids should see and want to look up to.... not someone who whines, is lazy, witchy, demanding, etc. That's not a role model I envision my kids looking up to and it surprises me how everyone raves at how good the show is. I just don't get it.
