Basically its telling young kids that its okay to have sex.

yes, the girl is pregnant. yes, she is dealing with a lot of shit because of it.

yet at the same time, you have these other HIGH-school students running around having sex with each other, talking about how great it is and how much they enjoy it, thus, implying that you should enjoy it too.

every other scene, they are talking about sex. almost to the point where its unrealistic. :x
like its just sleeping.

i dunno. it kind of sickens me. at least considering a lot of young people watch this show, such as my 13 year old sister.

Yeah, but unfortunately almost everything sends a negative message to kids.. they just have to be taught properly about them.  I mean not to listen to them, you know?

Idk about you, but my high school sex life was pretty good. Nothing wrong with sex, imo. Don't see the big deal.

All the age shit we have now only came about as an overreaction to the pedo popularity in victorian england.

YES, but at the same time they are implying that having sex is completely okay and normal when you're in highschool.

not necessarily when it comes to sex.

why do you think we have so many teenage mothers in our generation?

Maybe not immediately.

But eventually, it's possible.

Most people that watch the show know that it's incredibly unrealistic.
