4 Worrying Life Lessons The Twilight Saga Teaches Young Girls

3. Leading Somebody On Is Okay

destiny twilight I hate the fact that I know this but anybody who knows even a little bit about the Twilight series knows that Jacob gets pretty messed about in this series. He doesn€™t really get a look-in until the second film when he€™s just used as a stop-gap until Edward returns. Then he gets pretty attached and then Edward returns and Bella just goes right back to him, leaving Jacob. I don€™t really know much that happens beyond that because, frankly, I don€™t care. I just know that that€™s the jist of it and even that is pretty bad. This is effectively teaching girls that if two boys like you, don€™t outright reject one of them, just sort of keep them at arm€™s length, just in case. I mean, anybody who€™s taking relationship advice from Twilight isn€™t really going to be finding themselves in that situation anytime soon but the principle remains!
