For the majority of her time starring in 'The Secret Life of The American Teenager,' Shailene Woodley was happy with her job. It was only when the series started to head towards a close that she felt the writing went awry, and that her character began to act in a way which wasn't consistent with everything that had gone before.
Woodley was attached to the part of Amy Juergens, and cared for both the character and the decisions the character made. By the final season, she felt like questionable morals were on display, and that the message being sent out to the audience wasn't a good one. On occasion, she says she even found it hard to bring herself to go to the set and film, because she didn't agree with anything that Juergens was doing in the script.
