Today, I realized that our generation will be remembered as the kids who liked sparkly vampires. FML

(0)Kids have been calling things gay since the 1950s at least, you're generation gets no credit for that (unless your a boomer in which case my apologies).
(+2)I think the Nintendo generation started in the 1980s. Half of you weren't even born then.
Sparkly vampire-loving tween girls with overactive pituitaries were born in the late 1990s.

(-2)I can't believe that you are so stupid as to think that today's teenagers will be remembered as the Nintendo generation. Get a effen clue! The Wii is NOT the first Nintendo ever invented! FYL for being a moron!
(-1)yeah.... but my high school is.... 7 kids killing one spanish dude. not cool.
and OMG this dude's right!!!!! I HATE SPARKLY VAMPIRES!!!!!!!!!!!DX
(0)When you type "we" or "our", you include the reader. So regarding myself, the poster who said that we will be known as the Nintendo generation was more accurate, since I grew up playing the original Nintendo systems.

(+1)I like ice cream, cherry pie
And lemonade with summer breeze
I like rainbows, leafy trails
And puppy dogs with bumble bees
I like cotton candy gum
And bumper cars and carnivals
Golden skies and hazel eyes
And sand in-between my toes...but

(-2)it's so true!! the one thing that sucks is that the book has been out for a while before the movie so just because it's a movie we decide to love sparkely vampires!!! I'm more of a jacob fan!! but I'm not a screaming fan!! I liked the books before the movies came out!! how many of the 12yr olds who are spastic over the movie, actully read the books??
#16 - On 11/24/2009 at 8:43pm by purinbichi09
(+1)Exactly. Its one thing to enjoy the books and/or movies. However, being a "fangirl" of anything is never good and its so sad how many girls are.

#26 - On 11/24/2009 at 8:59pm by Bbyboo
(+4)They. Are not. Werewolves.
They can change in the middle of the day, whenever they want. THEY ARE WOLFMEN! And even so, the Twilight "saga" (seriously they couldn't just say series? Harry Potter didn't even use saga!) still sucks.
(-1)I wish I could agree with you, since I hate having to give Twilight any credit ever, but you might want to look up what "wer" means before you start saying things are wolfmen and not werewolves.
(+1)agreed zargon, since "wer" means "man", then calling them "werewolves" is technically correct because youre calling them "manwolves". so i wonder why you cant just interchange "manwolves" and "wolfmen".
hornetchik is right. "shapeshifters" is probably the best word for what they are.
#102 - On 11/25/2009 at 6:30am by borabora1991
(+3)Umm she should learn to use the English language better than a 15 yr old before she is considered a 'good writer'
#142 - On 11/25/2009 at 8:09am by Apocalyptus
(+1)Seriously? A really good writer? Even my friend who loves the series freely states that the fanfic she reads is often better written than the actual books. My favourite quote on the subject comes from Stephen King, who says: "The difference between Jo Rowling and Stephanie Meyer is that Rowling can actually write".
And, while I would never call Harry Potter the work of a literary genius, I couldn't agree with him more. At least she knows how to use grammar and construct characters.
(0)#142 No, you've got it all wrong. 15 year olds write BETTER than Stephenie Meyer.
I liked the books, but they aren't written very well. Which is okay, I guess, because Stephenie Meyer hadn't even written a short-story before writing Twilight. It's just getting-actually, it's already gotten incredibly out of hand.
Twilight FTW! Not the in for-the-win sense.
#197 - On 11/25/2009 at 11:37am by Blueoceanz84
(0)a really good writer? oh god. fuck YOUR life for saying so. i read the books. there were so many grammatical errors that i got really upset. you see, i'm a grammar cop and while i can stand to read grammatical errors on the intarwebs, it just disgusts me to see them in published works.
#198 - On 11/25/2009 at 11:38am by asafetybuzz
(0)i LIKED the books, but i didn't LOVE the books as they just weren't written as thougha writer had wrote them. To be fair, she wrote well for a housewife or whatever she was, but really great writers aren't getting the amount of recognition or success they should be getting because 12 year olds see an average looking bloke on a film screen and apparently love him. Now Meyer is claimed as the literary genius of our time. Give me a Dickens anyday of the week.
#214 - On 11/25/2009 at 12:22pm by jadetothes
(0)They are in fact shapeshifters, anyone who calls them werewolves haven't read the books. It's specifically pointed out in the sucktastic fourth one.
(0)wolfman is the same thing as werewolf, i believe..
they call them shapeshifters in one of the books, so technically, they are shape shifters, not werewolves or wolfmen.

(-2)I completely agree with #16 like I read the books and loved them I saw the 1st movie and hated and I have yet to see new moon... not all girls out there are freaky obsessed twilight chicks with nothing better to do then salivate over a poster of some actor! and I for one still believe in men even though they are assholes most of the time

(0)I know it disgust me we used to be known as the generation that invented a small device that lets you listen to hundreds and even thousands of songs without even using one disc or tape but now we're that generation that killed the vampire genre by falling in love with incredibly pale, gay teenage, vampires who are afraid to have relationships with women, somwhere dracula is spinning in his coffin.
#32 - On 11/24/2009 at 9:06pm by shirvon100
(0)Because Twilight is shit. The acting is crap, the effects are crap and the storyline is crap. Twilight, overall, is CRAP.
I'm just saddened that I'm technically in your generation. If I were a few years older...bah.

For what it's worth I still use CDs in my car. (Also, I am aware mp3 players pre-date the iPod but I doubt this poster knows that so I neglected to include it in my original comment)

(+3)Yeah, we all have different opinion. But in a different point of view, weather you like TW or not, our generation's madness is about Vampires. And not even real Vampires like Dracula or Coun Whateverhisnameis, no, shiny "perfect" sexy "gay" vampires. And when people refer to them as "gay", I think it's more like "lame vampires". They sparkle and instead of eating humans, they fall in love with an ordinary girl. So what's the message? "A perfect guy can date you even if you're ugly?" And there's no "perfect guy", and little girls are starting to wait for a shiny pale guy to come and save them from an accident. I even have a friend that's sixteen and thought a guy was a real vampire. I mean, come on! We should like something better, but that's just me.

No, we'll be remembered as much worse. Such as, referring everything to Micheal Jackson and Chuck Norris. Swearing, rapists, perverts, kidnappers, murderers, underage drinking, smoking, teenage pregnancy, and stupid people who couldn't care less about an education. Those are only a FEW of the MANY problems we will be remembered as, and you are worrying about a good series of books with sparkling vampires.
IT'S CALLED IMAGINATION. USE IT SOMETIME.
#37 - On 11/24/2009 at 9:15pm by iSariiLovesYoux3
(0)How dumb are you? All generations have had those things besides michael jackson and chuck norris. Also, Jackson wasn't part of the generation he was referring to. He was being creative, you dumbass
#47 - On 11/24/2009 at 9:44pm by ihateallpeople
(+3)No, thoes things have been going on since there was people and spoken language. Just far more prevelent now.
Imagination is good. When a Dracula has a tragic accident with an 8yo girls makeup kit and a Hugh Grant movie, that is bad.
(-2)lol someone obviously took Twilight bashing personally.
Only girls will be remembered for this. No self-respecting guy likes that shit nor are they expected to.
#68 - On 11/25/2009 at 12:23am by Nakedsquirrel
(+2)Ah, I'm twelve. I've read all the books and well, they suck. Edward is a control freak, Bella is a ditzy, clingy, and annoying person. Stephanie Meyer is a terrible author. As said before, it's too much like a creepy sexual fantasy. I think her dream consisted of the strong, smart, fast, GLITTERY(?!), vampire raping the slow, stupid, weak human but she's such a dumbass she thought she'd glorify it and make it into a shitty story. I think it got so popular because The Cullens don't blow the fuck up when they get exposed to sunlight, they sparkle. I mean, the Underworld movies have vampires and werewolves. It's a love story, sort of. Why aren't they more popular? Because they're scary? Well, vampires are meant to be scary.
(+1)bah there have been problems with every generation, and to say that we have no concept or respect for the problems that currently face the world in our generation shows the lack of education you seem to assume you have.
we have imagination, but also have control over so as not to let our imagination spill over into our real lives in which us REAL people have to make a REAL living by doing REAL work. after that we do whatever it is we do for an escape. you say imagination, hows this for imagination, a girl walked up to whoever the actor is the plays edward [yeah thats right i have more important things to consider than to remember some crappy 2bit actor's name] and seriouly asked him to bite her.
Cursing, rape, murders, drugs and the rest of the problems you could mention all come from a different time to ours, the only difference is now our technology allows us to broadcast information so fast and so freely that this sort of news floods our screens more more commonly than it used to [although before it was radio].
And to all the people who have come on here to say if this is all you worry about think yourself lucky then maybe you should read this site more carefully as there're plenty more fml's that make this look like today's prominent issue...pretty sure this was meant to be a relaxed website anyway for people to just have a laugh or 2...albeit at someone else's expense.
(+1)#50...really? A "gentleman"? A controlling, abusive stalker is a gentleman? If you read the books, which I sadly did, the whole damn story is drivel...with a heavy, heavy undercurrent of religious (Mormon) agenda. Those books smacked of a number of themes, most of which were pretty negative. Edward leaves, so Bella stops eating and hides in her house for weeks on end, too weak to move because she lets depression run her over and control her? Yeah, super awesome! Edward is too strong for Bella, so during sex she becomes battered and bruised and bloodied? Yay! Way to teach a generation of young girls already predisposed to self harm that its ok for others to harm them too! When Edward leaves, he still appears from time to time to keep tabs on that dumb broad...damn right! Boys, take special note, stalking and romance are interchangeable!
And don't even get me started on Bella's being torn between Jacob and Edward being an allegory for a. male dominance within the Mormon construct and b. Bella's "addiction" to Edward being used to illustrate how men are supreme and dominant, with women groveling beneath them.
Enjoy the books if you're into bad writing, fine. But people are taking this whole phenom way, way too far. I've actually heard girls discuss emulating some of Bella's self-harming behaviors to get a cute guy's attention. That's pathetic. I'm not one to blame the media (movies, news, videogames, et. al.), but I will damn sure blame bad parenting, a subjective agenda, and the propensity of teens (and even older women) to be fundamentally stupid about realworld concepts. Gah.
(+2)A+. Twilight is the most sexist piece of crap I have ever made the mistake of reading. I'm terrified of how all the preteen girls obsessing over it will turn out. Probably married and pregnant at 19 to an abusive man, "just like Edward and Bella!!!!11111eleventy-one"
(-2)it's purty much true cuz of retards who are in love with the fake vampires and werewolves

(0)Screw Stephanie Meyer; She’s the s***tiest writer I’ve ever seen. She’s the newbiest of all newbs. She’s such a crappy writer, that she makes it look easy to just pick up a pen and write a book, get it published – by an equally retarded publisher – and get a buncha prestigious rewards for it. That’s a load of Bulls***. I can’t believe they compare her writing to J.K. Rowling. I’ve read harry potter (respect the series – awesome) and I have to say J.K. Rowling is really talented and a very good story writer. The plot, web of puzzles, and characters she incorporates are really complex. Stephanie Meyer? Her book sounds like a creepy sexual fantasy. She even said it herself, quote; “I saw it in a dream”. WTF? What a load of crap. And now you’ve got all those stupid girls going gaga over a stupid bimbo who sets a bad example on how relationships should be – the fact that a girls should run away with a creepy sparkly stalker who is sooooooo “Perfect”. Yeah good luck with that; I’d like to see you find the “Perfect” man in the world. That’s BS and nobody’s perfect in the world. If there’s one word that I despise and I don’t consider being in my literary dictionary; then it’s “Perfect”. Just look at a few quotes for her book; like his “breath” being “sweet” and “cool” or his “chest” being “sculpted” and “incandescent”. Great that’s all I need to know. You want to lower your Literary IQ? Go read her book; you can find:
THESAURUS RAPE (so many retarded adjectives to describe how “Perfect” “Eddy” is.
STALKING (enough times)
INFANT PEDOPHILIA (creepiest pile of crap I’ve seen)
MANIPULATION
OVERLY EXCESSIVE INFATUATION (little Bella is like a clingy little “I want to be with you forever” retard)
SETTING WRONG IDEALS ABOUT WOMEN AND FEMINISM (sure; why don’t all girls run away with a sparkly vampire, forget their life, education, family and just be his B**** for the rest of her life)
DISTURBING SEXUAL FANTASIES OF A 35 YEAR-OLD CREEP (and god knows what else…..)
Now that I’m done ranting, and your brain has turned to mush; you don’t have to worry about bothering to read that pile of garbage.

Too bad I've already read it, though. But that's okay, since I agree with you completely. Twilight is a fucking joke. Here in California, the chicks are practically ozzing. A great majority of them are preteens.

(0)I don't know about other people on this site, but MY generation had their own vampires (the only vampire worth spending any time on), and those are Anne Rice's vampires. She created an intricate world for her vampires which she explained logically, almost scientifically. Her books were massive texts filled with dense story lines and awe-inspiring detail. Her vampires were asexual; they fell in love with humans and vampires alike. They had human feeling, yet they were detached from humanity. Most lost their humanity in time. Some went silent for centuries, because they lived for so long. Rice's vampires dealt with real issues revolving around their race (if you could call it that). They worried about the sun, about other vampires, about humans discovering them. They agonizing (some of them) over having to kill to survive. And while some did fall in love with humans, their love affairs did not take up the entire text, but were a mere blip within it. Her books have history (albeit her own, made-up history), not whimsical fantasy (I'm not saying that Anne Rice's vampires are non-fiction, but that if I had to choose one which COULD be more accurate then she would win without question every time). I know babbling on about Anne Rice like this makes me sound like those doe-eyed Twilight fans, but I read her books for fun, to escape. Yes I was (and still am to an extent) passionate about her creations, but they are not my life, I never let them overwhelm me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think this new generation of children have no substance (yes this is what is always said by the older generation, but I think most of you who are old enough to by a drink at the bar would agree). Watching these teens and tweens drool over vacant vampires like the Twilight pretty boys makes me ill. End rant.
#66 - On 11/25/2009 at 12:08am by Mumblstiltskin
(-1)# 66...Interview With a Vampire was written in 1976, one year after I was born. Anne Rice repeats herself a lot, and her penchant to write 4 page descriptions of a candle's flame is boorish. However, Rice's books are FAR superior to Meyer's, and much as I detest both Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, insofar as screen adapted characters they were far more likeable, engaging and they DIDN"T FUCKING SPARKLE. My mom read the books out loud to me when I was a child, so I do have a soft spot for them, despite the critique.
The worst part for me? There is a generation of stupid girls that my 16 and 11 year old sons now have to sift through in order to find a potential mate that doesn't think "Team Jacob RAWKS" or "Edward is sooooo hot and sexy and sweeet" or that Stephanie Meyer is "an amazing writer". Poor kids, I feel horrible for them.
(0)You mean because your generation is the one both gullible and pathetic enough to enjoy that pap? Maybe if people don't want to be treated like they're stupid, they shouldn't act the part. Not that bearing a boob like Stephenie Meyer would be a fun task by any generation, but when it comes to angsty, over-blown, teenage romance melodramas, what else should you expect? It isn't exactly a new trend. Nearly every generation seems to fall for something of this sort nowadays.
#69 - On 11/25/2009 at 12:26am by blastvortex

(+2)I'm 15, and I hate the movie Twilight, but New Moon was ok, nothing to get excited about. I liked the books, but they aren't my favorite. Serously, I can't stand all the dumb girls who are on the 'teams' and have arguments, and I HATE Edward Cullen. He's so annoying in the book AND the movie. The acting in the movie is really bad, aside from Taylor, who plays Jacob

(0)do you remember 50-somethings as "the generation that liked the Beatles?"
i'm guessing not. maybe you think of the 60s as being a decade where the Beatles were popular, but I kinda doubt you look at your parents and think of them based on what pop culture they liked.
twilight is a trend. i actually don't mind twilight, but i can still tell you that it's going to go in and out of style pretty fast. if people remember it, they will just remember it as a silly trend of the 2000s. and hey, the 80s had plenty of silly trends, too. it's not that bad.
if our generation is remembered for a series of books, it's more likely to be harry potter. somehow, it seems like the majority of you would rather be remembered as the generation that likes british wizards. hey, whatever floats your boat.

God forbid someone offend your precious vampire series, right? Like, my God, it's the end of the world!
Her writing sucks. It's really that simple. There's a reason it's in the young adult section of the library, instead of in the fantasy section with the rest of the vampire novels. Do you know what that reason is? Well, let's start with the weak plot, the horrible grammar, the repetitive use of the words "Bella sighed" and "Edward.......beautiful", and the one-dimensional characters.
Bella had been in Forks for two months. Apparently, Edward has been watching her for three months, though he only MET her at school during her first month there. PLOTHOLE.
The author completely forgets to explain how a vampire can successfully reproduce and have their child grow up so quickly. PLOTHOLE.
The series makes many young girls confuse lust and obsession with love. Breaking into a man's house to watch his daughter sleep is not love. Threatening to beat and/or kill her/others because she has male friends is not love. Bawwww'ing and throwing yourself off a cliff because your undead boyfriend of a few months doesn't want you any more is not love. You get where I'm going with this?
Edward is an emotionally abusive stalker. Who just happens to be ice cold (yuck), hard as stone (yuck), and dead (necrophilia, anyone?). Oh yes, hugging a marble bench in a meat freezer must be so comfortable.
Bella is a fragile, shallow yes-girl who would do anything including suicide to be with her abusive boyfriend. Last I checked, that wasn't healthy.
Please, people.....start reading some REAL literature.

(0)Eh. I won't deny that I like Harry Potter. It's a good series. A bit juvenile for me now, but I drag out the books for long road trips. I used to be completely bonkers about it when I was in high school. But then my teenage hormones cooled down, puberty bid me a nice fare-thee-well, and I because interested in the Song of Ice and Fire series.
But Potter Puppet Pals rules. They rule hardcore. Funniest shit I've ever seen.
#158 - On 11/25/2009 at 8:52am by myfriend_youfail
(0)I'm just glad you took that lightly, my friend.
What is this, Song of Fire and Ice? I'm a college student and the semester is just about over so I'll need something to fill my time when I'm not working.
Although, for now, I will be looking up Potter Puppet Pals..
(0)It's a series by George R.R. Martin. My boyfriend is really into it, but I'm still stuck on "A Game of Thrones" fairly early into the saga.
It's fairly complex, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're not into multiple plot-lines and fantasy creatures hashing out political bullshit. I can barely keep track of all the characters myself, you practically need a CliffNotes guide to read the blasted series.
But it's just....oh so addicting once you get past the first few pages.

The only reason Twilight is so popular is that it is so horribly written that it appeals to the section of today's society that I'm pretty sure has never read a book without pictures in it and less than 100 pages.
Harry Potter on the other end is a masterpiece. The plot includes unexpected turn of events, good verses evil, and a little romance. J.K. Rowling wrote a book that would interest anyone.
I am not dissing all Twilight fans. Congratulations on find a book that you enjoy. But the only thing I hate is that some fans take it a little to far.

(-2)Don't you just love how if your opinion differs from that of the popular opinion, you lose your right to free speech? Twihards are taking the movie way too seriously.
It sucks. I'm still wondering how Stephenie Meyer got this "saga" published. Her portrayel of the normal teens in the book was totally unrealistic and outdated. What teenager that you know says "moot" and isn't whiny and ungrateful?
And seriously? WHAT was the purpose of making them sparkle?
I'd take Anne Rice over this any day. At least she knew how to write.

(+1)you'll live, give it a few years after the fourth movie is released and hopefully bitches your age will forget about that shit and grow up
(0)last i checked 1) Harry Potter is still going on and 2) it takes more than 3 years to count as a generation
(0)Harry Potter's over... The books ended in 2007. You must be part of the movie crowd who didn't realize.
There are more than 3 years between HP and Twilight. The former came out in '98 when I was still a kid and Twilight came out in 2005 for the Gen Z kids. 7 years isn't a generation but it's enough to put an age gap between those who grew up with HP (late Gen Y kids, for the most part) and those who grew up with Twilight (early Gen Z).
#186 - On 11/25/2009 at 11:00am by star_ver

#189 - On 11/25/2009 at 11:14am by myfriend_youfail
(0)I did try to read the first book, but gave up on it because it was so poorly written I felt insulted. No book that has such shallow, one-sided characters and such a weak and predictible plot should ever be published.
I tried watching the Twilight movie and fell asleep. Seriously, I've seen better acting in B-class movies.
Conclusion: Twilight is s**t! Words cannot express how much better Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" are. All S. Meyer did was take these mesmerizing mythological creatures and turn them into wet dreams.
(0)I'd read them but I can't stop tearing up from laughing so much, or falling asleep from the fake I love you stuff. the author is a genius in the way she gets people hooked to it. most of the girls that read it are like bella quite and not very popular or pretty, they are the norm, ed is very popular and every girl wants him. he picks bella when he could pick a popular diva . to most girls this is a turn on and they wish this would happen to them, they put them selves in their mind when reading as bella, thus making the readers fantasy come true and they get hooked.
(0)Dude, I never really noticed it!
But you are right, having Bella as the narrator does enable girls to read the books while imagining themselves as the vampire's love interest.
(+1)It's more like 50%. I have read all the books, even the unpublished one she didn't finish. I've even watched the movies. And I think I can make an informed decision in deciding not to like it.
At this rate, our generation will be known for the huge feud between twihards and twibashers.
This I what I think: if you like the saga, go right ahead. Nobody is telling you that you can't like it. People are just pissed because twilight is being shoved down our throats everywhere by everyone.
If you don't, try not to deliberately piss off the twihards.
Agree to disagree.

(0)also if our generation will be remembered for anything it will be copying the clothing of England in the late 60's and 70's, also for technology there have been so many changes with so many things so fast. when cells phones became main stream in 2000/ 2002 ish, to today's cell phones its just wtf, that moved so fast. also the fact our generation has a hard time talking to one another or reading or writing, due to the advancements of messengers and phones ruining our way of communicating, I know a lot of kids that can't confront some one but can easily text the same thing to that person, they have no people skills or anything.
I think our generation will be known for that. my little bro sits on the computer all day messaging and texting and when you go to talk to him he can't make a sentence, its hard to get anything coherent out of him. I used to work with kid and a lot of them were all like that.
(-2)The twilight saga books were amazing i read them wayy before the whole twilight movie thing.Why cant they leave the good books alone,and quit making them into movies.They are fine the way they are,they dont need to be movie-fied.I like reading vampire books,vampires should not sparkle! they should burn in the sun like they were originally portrayed.Its like the jonas brothers all over again,screaming girls at every corner.Uck.Edward is fictional girls,you will never find a guy that is exactly like him in anyway.Except for being nice and protective,thats it.Dont go telling your boyfriends that they should be more like edward.its not possible.And stop saying "oh edwards mine" he will never be yours, hes in love with bella and if you would have read they book they get married and she becomes his eternal mate to put it lightly.And like it was stated before he cant be yours anyway he's fictional! i think im rambling.But i think it sucks that our generation will be known as the one who loves sparkly vampires.Cant we like solve world hunger or something?
(0)tbh i like the books and the movies, but theres too much obbsession over it, shirts that say Team Edward or Team Jacob are pretty retarded c'mon its a vampire love story its obvious whats gonna happen in the end.

(+2)After reading these comments it seems like the people who hate Twilight are crazier than the people who are obsessed with it. Not everyone has similar likes and dislikes. No one is making you read or watch anything about Twilight.
I hate basketball (born to a hockey family!). I don't get all worked up about it. There's an article about basketball in the news - I skip it and go on to the next story. There's a game on TV - I change the channel. I don't get all passionate about it.
I'm pretty sure the books were written for tweens/teens anyways so everyone who's talking about how juvenile the writing is - well yea... it was written for kids. Get over it.
I just think it's funny how the very people who are slamming Twilight fans for liking the series are just as passionate about not liking it. It's a book and movie series. Who cares??

(-2)To 236- I understand what you're saying but I'd have to wager this is a different case. You say you dont like basketball so you just ignore it. That's fine. But did basketball ever bring this much trouble to society and in some ways corrupting a portion of youth? (I'll never forget my friend who was dumped by his gf cuz he didn't like twilight) Did basketball ever essentially poison the minds of a large number of young people? Not saying what you said doesnt make sense I'm just I think these are two different cases

(+1)_musical_addict_
I disagree that Twilight is corrupting our youth. Twilight is a current trend - just like Miley, Zac, JoBro, Taylor Swift etc are right now. Things like this come and go with every generation. You want corruption - have your child watch an episode of almost any weekly television program promoting careless sex and reckless use of drugs and alcohol.
How it affects individual lives is different in every case. That your friend got dumped over Twilight hints that it couldn't have been a very serious relationship, no? Similarities and differences are what make and break relationships. If it couldn't last over this small difference, it probably wouldn't have last over much more pertinent issues.
Teens are irrational. The brain hasn't fully developed and many are going through incredible hormonal surges - why not direct those toward a **fictional** character? In my opinion, it's a lot healthier at that age than having "relationships" in your early teens. It's unreal how much focus is put on being in a relationship at age 13 when someone has barely hit puberty. In no way, shape, or form are these young people able to fully realize what they are getting in to. And people wonder why suicide rates are up in teens! Their brains aren't mature enough to realize that even though one particular person doesn't "love" you when you want them to that it's not the end of the world...
Yes, I agree that basketball is on somewhat of a different level. It was used to prove the point that those who are just as obssessed with hating Twilight are guilty of the same level of emotion that Twi-hards are showing, just the opposite end of the spectrum. Hating it with such passion is just feeding in to the hype and making it grow. Why does it matter that much?
#267 - On 11/25/2009 at 4:06pm by GotWhateverItIs
(0)Outside of mental disorders - depression caused by failed relationships (whether it be their parents' divorce, loss of a romantic partner, loss of a friendship) among teens is thought to be the leading cause of teen suicide as of late.
My point of directing emotions towards a fictional character is simply this - at that age, what one may think is love simply isn't. It's an obsession, crush, etc. I'd rather that my child have "celebrity/fictional" crushes until they reach an age of maturity at which they can better understand their feelings. When that maturity is reached, by all means I agree - they should engage in real, personal relationships. However, I find it extremely unhealthy when someone that young has such obsessive feelings for another real person. Simply because as I said before, when it doesn't work out their brains are not yet fully capable of dealing with such intense feelings of hurt and rejection at such a young age.
People should have well enough experience with "No" coming from their parents as they are growing up. They shouldn't have to deal with "No" in a romantic sense until they are older and more capable of dealing with that type of rejection.

(0)i did like the books okay, but then people started obsessing over it and the movies weren't good, so it just ruined the whole thing and i hate hate hate those insane obsessive fangirls.
(0)I agree with auds23 100%. I liked the books, but I'm not a fangirl. the movies sucked. Rob Pattinson is not hot. (I'm a 14 year old girl)

(-1)Twilight - for fat chicks that can't get any. So sad :(
#281 - On 11/25/2009 at 5:06pm by deathproof
(-1)Perhaps instead we will be remembered as a generation of people who will complain about any and every inconsequential detail on the internet for attention. Grow up.
#287 - On 11/25/2009 at 5:29pm by BlueberryPies
(-1)If this is the worst thing in your life, you must have a pretty pathetic, boring life unlike some of us who have actual problems, suck it up. I'm pretty sure that we are going to be remembered as the generation that f***ed up the future for everyone else and is oversexualized, and who killed too many innocent people anyway, in like 5 years none of this is going to be around or remembered anyway because something new will take it's place so get over it.
(0)Yeah! Finally someone understands me. People like me used to be called freaks by the preppy people for liking vampires. And now Twilight is a preppy goth sensation! How retarded.
#290 - On 11/25/2009 at 5:36pm by Chelsie_cheese
(0)That is very true. Im sick of the preps calling people losers for stuff and doing it a week later because its "cool". I used to get made fun of for wearing knee socks and now everyone does it. Wth. -.-
(-1)true, true. but I love twilight, and I bet a lot of people would if they read the books. Im not like a scary, obsessive fangirl, but i'd rather our generation be remembered for that then worse things. I'm actually quite proud, lol. but whatever, everyones opinion is different.
#291 - On 11/25/2009 at 5:46pm by effmylifelovexx
(0)no i read twilight and loved it. one of the best books ever, but its sooo overrated. its like a religion for preppies that want to get out of their preppy skin.
#293 - On 11/25/2009 at 6:05pm by Chelsie_cheese
(+1)God it's so true.. And the books aren't even well written. They pretty much suck. We're also going to be known as the generation that like high school musical and miley cyrus. It's so sad to see fifteen year old girls walking around with hsm backpacks. I'm so glad I'm in college now and out of highschool.
#294 - On 11/25/2009 at 6:11pm by skittles1091
(0)I haven't ever seen a single highschooler with an hsm backpack. You're thinking of....elementary school. Even middle schoolers have higher standards.

(0)I hate twilight. The movies are terrible, and (King said it, not me) Stephanie Myer can't write. And yes, I've read the books. SHE. CAN. NOT. WRITE. I've honestly never ever read something that badly written.
This twilight obsessed girl in my class found out I hated twilight (I was wearing my anti twilight shirt) and she starts screaming at me, asking me why I don't like it. I told her "Because it has no plot." Her response? "What's a plot?" Twilight is not literature, and it is making kids dumb and uneducated because of their obsession with fictional charectors. I, too, liked a fictional charector once, in 6th or 7th grade. But this is a bunch of high schoolers that think edwards real and stalk Robert Pattingson, who, by the way, also hates twilight. Having a celeberty crush is one thing, but being a rabid sparkle obsessed twilight fan who throws acid on people for telling them to put down their twilight book (happened in a high school chemistry lab) is another, and thats just way too far.
Also, all you twilight fans can like the books or the movie or whatever, that's fine. I wouldn't mind that. What I do mind are the twilight fans who stop liking it because they want to seem smarter and less obsessed. Like the ones on here who are like "Well, I hate the movies and vampires don't sparkle, but the books are AMAZING!" The books suck, and you're a twilight fan, so get over yourselves. Thank you and good day.

(0)I've never seen 15 year olds with hsm backpacks if they do it's cuz they think it'll make them look cool. but that's usually in high school. and it's usually people12 n under who like Miley cyrus
#301 - On 11/25/2009 at 7:10pm by WOW_idc123
(0)It's a craptastic epic let down that could've have been a tv movie and diwn with but drags into seperate turds and now sucking adults in to this tween cult of lambs that need the slaughter floor lined with them alnog with the writer, I hate it immensely because people compare it to Romeo and Juliet. it's clearly a ripoff. P.s. True blood is king
(+1)I would like to point out that not everyone is into Twilight because its a trend. I never even heard of Twilight, I saw it in Borders, liked the cover, read it. And the first time I heard about it from anyone else was after the movie came out(which by the way SUCKS ASS).
And also I think it's pretty dumb to compare Twilight to Miley Cyrus since she hates Twilight and HSM was a total failure(with anyone over, what? 10), Twilight wasn't.
(-1)wow alot of people on her are writing really long comments. do u have nothing better to do?
#304 - On 11/25/2009 at 7:18pm by WOW_idc123
(+2)Harry Potter is about making difficult decisions and finding the inner strength to protect those you care about.
Twilight is about the importance of having a boyfriend where good looks have priority.
I think Harry Potter wins by a landslide.
(0)125,I love you. Marry me. XD and another thing: rhapsody writes better stoires than the author of twilight does. And they're a band!
#307 - On 11/25/2009 at 7:45pm by skittles1091
(0)Twilight fans are getting out of control. There are numerous accounts of Twihards physically attacking people who don't like the books.

sign the petition if you think the whole thing is getting out of hand. I do. People are getting hurt. It's not worth it.

(0)hey im just gonna say tht i personally dont know any twilight freaks. or harry potter freaks. im neutral in the twilight thing so im not gonna chris brown any chick who fingers herself to edward, but i think its total bullshit tht some people r gonna think were gonna be the twilight generation. Also, why is there no talk about the vampire diaries? those were some badass book tht got made into series, yet noone bitches about tht.

(-2)i don't know ...i think it's far more likely that we'll be remembered as the kids who slashed our wrists, wore skinny jeans and pasted half our hair across our foreheads.
(0)No, this generation will be remembered as kids who were obsessed with technology to the point of becoming addicted to their cell phones/computers, and for having extremely short attention spans
also, anyone who likes twilight is on team loser
(0)i agree. ppl are goin overboard w/ twilight. all it is is a love story. u kno how many of those there are?!SRSLY

(0)Well not really. I mean most people actually hate it these days. It's rare [where I live at least] to find an overly-obsessive fan girl. It was huge at first and the only reason it still is, is because of all the hate it's getting. Twi-haters are all over the internet promoting it. We all need to get on the who-the-fuck-cares team and shut the fuck up about twilight.
JS
Oh and btw I know I'm being slightly hypocritical by complaining about all the people who are complaining I just thought this needed to be said.
#331 - On 11/26/2009 at 1:42am by MoooMooMooMooMoo
(0)man early 90's generation is the shit! we got the cowboys winnin 3 superbowls, pokemon, DBZ, power rangers, tupac, Nintendo 64, and a bunch of other shit that was cool for the time! late 90's...not so much...sry
#332 - On 11/26/2009 at 2:19am by Jonathan33
(0)Amen. The one thing remotely good about Twilight is the idea of ripping Edward Cullen into pieces and then burning him. SO much more fun then just stabbing him in the heart.
(0)Yeah, I don't understand this recent obsession with fucking vampires either ... This only gives kids another reason to dress in black, bitch about how hard life is, and be emo. Fuck our lifes.
#335 - On 11/26/2009 at 3:15am by beanstalk0311
(0)Meh, nobody is going to remember Twilight in a few years. It's nothing more than a flash in the pan of mediocrity.
#336 - On 11/26/2009 at 3:18am by Chopperman
(0)RAWR! I'M A VAMPIRE! FEAR MY GLITTER! I swear. I am sick of the whole twilight thing. I read the first book. It was given to me. It took me forever just to get through it. I thought it would never end. Then I find out there are more...I didn't read them. I want bloodshed, fighting, sex, and Vampires BURSTING INTO FLAMES like they are supposed to. My Tranny friend said that its some of the gayest shit she's ever seen. I like Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. Yeah, its got vampires, gods, demons, were-animals..with actual plots you can follow. It doesn't take 3 books or so for the main characters to get some action going. Anne Rice was great until she stopped hallucinating. I just think these kids are taking it way to seriously. And really, from what I understand, Ed is super cold, Jake is super hot (temp wise). I don't know about you, but I'd take the Hot Dog over the GlitterSickle any day. But these kids just can't wait to get some of that ice cold lovin and live Glittery ever after.

(-2) Shut THE f*ck up you haters!! Twilight is tha bomb and if you don't like it you're such an ass/loser/dumbass/bitch what ever you want to call yourself xD
I just wanted to say that i'm Team Jacob all the way! but Edward isn't that bad ^^
AND! The Jonas Brothers and Hannah Monanta Rock 2!!
(-1)"OMG... but twlight is soooooooooo amazing!!!!! i luv edward sooo much and bella is soooo cool. and jacob is so hawt. twlight is the best love story ever written. ur such a jerk."
The above is what most twilight fans say in response to posts like these. Reflects their IQ.
(0)bella is not cool she is weak and spineless and twilight is sexist...end of story
#396 - On 11/29/2009 at 4:59pm by fancypantsninja
(-2)Shutup, this isn't even an FML! STOP HATING ON F*CKING TWILIGHT. It's a story of two lovers who cannot be!! YOU DON'T LIKE IT JUST SUCK IT.
(0)I'm sorry but I love LOVE! Twilight it is the most amazing love story of all time. It's not about the vampires its about two people who are so diverse coming together in a world full of obstacles and being able to overcome those obstacles together. In my opinion I love the book series and yes I do love the sparkly vampires because hello who doesn't like robert pattinson without a shirt!! :)
#350 - On 11/26/2009 at 12:14pm by Princess_peach
(0)I believe you meant to say it's a poorly-written story about a creepy, abusive, stalking paedophile and the girl that becomes obsessed enough with him that she cannot function without him (and the girl herself is a total Mary Sue. Actually, pretty much everyone is in those books). Later, we add in Jacob, and then we're talking super-paedophile.... What part of this is the greatest love story ever, again?
(0)It's a fanfiction-style book, not about vampires, but about mentally unstable people, some of whom sparkle, and how they try to stick together in ruining each others lives. It's about a guy who hears voices, and possibly is manic depressive, a girl who is just freaking nuts in her head and a paedophiliac. And, in the end, a girl suffering from progeria.
Also, I think Robert Pattinson looks disgusting. I'm sorry.
#367 - On 11/26/2009 at 7:17pm by I_hate_it_all
(0)hah, i have to agree with you. those lameass kids running around gaga over twilight is getting old. i fell in LOVE with the series after i finshed it but c'mon.
especially #350? haha, epitome of the twilight craze dear. bravo.
(0)wow its just a Twilight trend guys its not even that serious every generation had them.that doesnt mean that you can go around shittin about. I never seen twilight or new moon ( maybe when I get over my phobia of vampires) and I was never really interested in Harry Potter. Most likely when our generation grows up we will go back and reminisce about our Twitter days and our Twilight days and be called old and weird by our children.
#358 - On 11/26/2009 at 2:03pm by X0XyentroucX0X
(0)Ugh! its also a knew steriotype at schools, if u go to grade school, do u see girls that dress in black and were those T-shirts that has those shirtless guys?
(0)hahaha sparkly vampires, that's an awesome description. N e way, people, people its a fake story, don't get all worked up just because someone doesn't like it, I mean its not like twilight is your life!
(0)Hahaha. Too true. This FML made my day. Twilight's entertaining enough, but yeah, it's embarrassing that it will define our generation.
#370 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:54pm by HarrietPotter
(0)I really love the Twilight series, I have read the books and genuinely enjoy them. Twilight (movie) wasn't great and did not do the book justice, at all. New Moon was much better, but still, will never beat the book. It really bothers me when people run around saying they love Twilight when they haven't read the books. They are soo much better than the movies and you can't be a "Twilight Fan" if you haven't read the books because they are a lot less corny than the movies.

(0)OP it's so true. twilight has become an epidemic almost as bad as the swine flu. I know 7 year olds in love with imaginary vampires as well as 70 year old woman!
(0)Amen 378.
I find it funny that people will always remember Michael Jackson as a filthy pedophile (among other things, of course), but it's perfectly fine for women of all ages, from the young to the horribly old and decrepit) to ogle one shirtless Jacob Black.
Granted, there are differences between this child and others, but in the end, if you ain't an adult... you're jailbait.
(0)omg thats right fol!!!! dude this vampie shyt is getting old... it was cute at first but holy crap guys white boizz r soooo lastt year
