The secret life of an American teenager
Rating on Netflix: 3 1/4 Episodes: 121 Seasons: 5 Date : July 1 2008 – June 3 2013
Honestly you might want to watch this with
someone older because it’s at some points a
little bit inappropriate. But other than that
this show’s an rollercoaster. Just like life. This
show explains that having a child at 15 is not
the best was to go. This show explains that
having a child at such young age will exclude
you from playing sports, being in after school
activities, and even hanging out with friends.

Memorable moment
Near the end of season 11 on April 23 20015, a very tragic car crash happened in the show. Derick saw the two cars upside down, Derick slams his breaks (he’s on a highway) and gets out to check on
the people. A black sports car had hit a suv. Derick checks on the people in the suv first (since the sports car hit the suv) There’s a mom and a daughter. They’re both fine but the mom is in bad shape.
She had hit her head and she bleeding pretty bad. Her daughter in the back thinks she’s dead so Derick checks her pulse and told her that she is still alive. After he checks on the people in the sports
car. No one is there. He gets a bad feeling when he hears a girl’s voice in the bushes saying “help”. He runs over and finds a young girl laying there, all banged up. She’s okay and Derick brings her up
the road. She tells him that there was another person that drove the sports car. He goes looking for him and finds him stumbling down the road. The young man’s skull was covered in blood. He brings
him back and looks in the SUV for a first aid kit because the one in his car is useless… He gets the little girl to keep the two teens company while he goes and pulls the mom out of the car. Then the
little girl screams. The car is on fire. Derick grabs the young man and runs across the high was and the car bursts into flames. Then the ambulance came. When all the people got taken to the hospital,
Derick goes back to his car and goes to make a U turn. His phone starts ringing from in-between the seats so he stops the car to look for it. He found it and looks up, a massive truck slams into the
driver side of his car. He gets taken to the worst hospital ever and a doctor orders a CT (x ray) then another doctor says no because Derick is bleeding on the inside of his stomach. They bring him to
the surgery room and say that the surgeon will be there in 20 minutes. Derick knows that’s too long (he is a doctor too) It took the surgeon too long to get there. It’s too late.
