4 Worrying Life Lessons The Twilight Saga Teaches Young Girls

Edward and Bella I€™m sure that (for the most part, at least) I'm preaching to the choir when I say that Twilight is awful. It€™s the worst thing to happen to pop culture since€ well, I can€™t think of anything anywhere close. For the purpose of this article, I€™m willing to put aside the fact that the books are laughably badly written pieces of garbage that are only successful because of pre-pubescent girls who don€™t know how to have a boyfriend. I€™m willing to ignore the fact that the films, as films, are laughably badly written and acted pieces of garbage that are only successful because of pre-pubescent girls who don€™t know how to have a boyfriend. I can ignore those things (well, I can't, but I won't use them as reasons in this article, I swear!). However, this doesn€™t change the fact that there are some pretty ridiculous messages that the book sends out and, when you consider the age group of the people reading them, this is quite worrying. Bearing in mind that I have only watched the first two films and have read little more than extracts of the book with no context. Here are just a few, each of them taken from the first two films alone.
