But, regardless, the communication remains open. Oh, they’re not pushovers and punishments abound for behaviour they don’t like. If I cannot go into a store and buy this for you, then I’m not mature enough to be talking about having sex with you.” Another one of my favorite things is that the parents, even when they disagree with their teenage children, do not shut down the conversation. Be mindful when sharing personal information, including your religious or political views, health, racial background, country of origin, sexual identity and/or. One of my favorite scenes involved a teenage boy going to buy his girlfriend tampons when friends reacted with an “eww” and the girlfriend also acted surprised, his response was along the lines, of “we’re talking about having sex. While at times the conversations seem forced and too didactic, they are conversations nonetheless.” Some of that talk includes talk about sex as Braun says, “ In every episode there are lots of conversations between teens and adults and the adults talk with the teens directly about sex (the show really does revolve around sex), making good decisions, and personal responsibility. The teenagers don’t just talk to each other, they also talk to their parents. Part of what is great about Secret Life is just how conversation-driven this show is. I find this both infuriating yet oddly realistic, because people do have these gossipy conversations that take on a life of their own. Half of this is Amy and Ricky talking about something that happened off screen, and Madison overhearing, then Madison telling Grace, then Grace and Ben talking about it, and by this time you almost forget that half the time you didn’t see the original thing being talked about. Scroll through the gallery below to see what the cast has been up to since the show ended.Secret Life has mastered the art form of telling, not showing. It’s like a teen version of My Dinner with Andre, in that almost all the action is told via conversation. So to me, you guys actually feel like my, like, OG high school friends, which is kind of cool.” “Even if lots of time has passed, and you see whether it’s kind of like no time has passed, because we just sort of had these formative years together. “We already feel like we’re actual high school friends,” Megan Park (Grace Bowman) said during the cast’s October 2020 virtual reunion. The Big Little Lies alum formed lasting friendships with her costars while shooting the show too. “And after reading for the role of Amy, when Shailene left the room, I said, ‘She is a star.’” “Before Shailene Woodley ever walked into the room to audition, I looked at her headshot, looked at Peter Pappas, who we can all thank for casting this show, and I said, ‘She looks like a star,’” creator Brenda Hampton told Entertainment Weekly in 2012. So being on Secret Life propelled me to be more vocal about my own belief systems.”ĭespite her negative experience behind the scenes, Woodley certainly made a lasting impression with her performance, from the time of her audition. To this day it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.
“There were belief systems that were pushed that were different than my own. “There were a lot of things that were written into the scripts that not just me, but a lot of the cast, disagreed with,” she explained.
However, Woodley’s opinions about the story lines changed as in later seasons she saw her character’s pregnancy become a cautionary tale while abstinence was encouraged. It felt like everything that I wanted to be sending into the world.”
I had friends in high school who were pregnant. “When I signed onto Secret Life, I read episodes and I signed a contract for six years,” she revealed in an April 2020 interview with Bustle. The Emmy nominee appreciated the subject matter of The Secret Life of the American Teenager when she agreed to embody the lead character. from 2003 to 2004 and on a variety of other shows as a guest star. Woodley was not a novice when she landed the role that would propel her to stardom.
