So what has made Twilight possibly the biggest thing thing to happen in this generation besides the Presidential Election? Well, Twilight is a love story. Don’t we all love love stories? The story is about Bella, the new girl in town, falling in love with the beautiful vampire Edward and the adventures they have with other vampires trying to kill Bella. That’s the story in a nutshell. I’m 14. So you would expect me to be one of “those” fans. Well, I’m not. I read the series before they became popular, and never fantasized having Robert Pattinson as my husband. I think he’s kinda ugly actually. My friends are obsessed with it though. I think its the combinaton of action, drama, and love all wrapped up into one. Meyer did a pretty good job writing these books. But beside from the books, why do girls go crazy over the actors that play the characters. 13 and 40 year old women go insane when they see Rob or Taylor Lautner, but they don’t go quite as crazy when they see Elizabeth Reaser who plays Esme Cullen. I mean, they are only actors. But girls thing that Rob IS Edward. Sorry to break it to you fangirls, he’s not. It bothered me that I couldn’t even hear Twilight when I saw it because of the girls screaming and commenting on how Edward’s eyes sparkle. So when the new movie, New Moon, comes out, I’m waiting a week. I have seen women my mom’s age who is obsessed over Twilight and wear Twilight everything. I personally think that those are the women who are lonley. And i think thats why Edward has become popular. Girls need that perfect guy to dream over and Edward Cullen (not Robert Pattinson) has filled that spot. I have heard of girl’s actually breaking up with their boyfriends because he wasn’t like Edward. Give me a break! I can’t wait for this Twilight trend to be over. My little sister is 9 years old and she tried to read the books, but never got into them (Thank God!). I still don’t get why girls worship these books and the franchise they have become. There’s even a Twilight Con. I’ve even seen Twilight underwear. I’m sure the actors are very happy with how big its gotten, they are the ones making money off of this. The obseesive people scare me. If you say something bad about Twilight, they get VERY defensive. I have learned this from personal experience. I’m glad I’m not obsessed. The Twilight Saga is a well written book series full of action, drama, and romance. So if you want a good book to read, pick Twlight up, just don’t get sucked into the Twlight craze. (I’m begging you)

hahahaha very true indeed this thing of twilight has become a huge scene before lots of girls did not know about the books until they saw the movie and now all girls are like OH MY GOD I LOVE TWILIGHT seriously its come the point where you have no idea wether some girls are fans of twilight or fans of the character Edward. Nice article.

Who in their right mind gives a crap? Oh wow! You like Twilight before the movies?! That’s so unique and special! Don’t you people have any interest in reality? Is this the generation I’m going to have to pass the world on to? A bunch of self obsessed vidiots who care more about the teen choice awards than they do the rising unemployment rate? Good lord, we’re all going to die. Try reading a book or an article about something that won’t be relegated into obscurity within the next decade. I hope you can still enjoy these fantastic movies and books when you have military jack boots stomping on your head for non-compliance or while you’re waiting your turn in the government bread line to get your monthly ration of food. We seriously are SCREWED.

Ok, well I was just giving my opinon on it. And I do care about other important things in the world. I’m 14, I can be paying more attention to the VMAs then CNN. And not all teenagers are like “that”. We really do care about thr future. And Twilight is just a fad. It will go away in the next few years. And thanks for sharing your opinon, I will take it into consideration on how bad my generation is and will be in the future. I hope we prove you wrong.

Nicely written. I completly agree with you I was also a fan of twilight years before it became a movie. I can agree edward was the perfect guy. . although rob was deffinatly not edward, I don’t understand what is so special about him.

I’m sorry about my initial comment, you’re right, you’re 14 and should be enjoying things of this nature. I just get so frustrated at seeing so clearly how we’re all being enslaved and watching as most people seem completely oblivious to it. Enjoy your Twilight but bear in mind that the gap is rapidly closing for us to affect change on this situation before it worsens beyond most people’s imagination. While you are reading up on your favorite topics, mix a few topics like The Federal Reserve, The Bilderburg Group, The Trilateral Commission, Alan Greenspan, Henry Kissinger, those are some key topics to get you looking at things clearly. We are going to need you guys. We really are.
