What kind of influence do you think Twilight has on teenage girls?

I'm writing an essay, and I need some ideas.





I've already written about sex [mostly, abstinence] and also how Twilight raises our expectations of boys.


Anything else?


I know you guys have more opinion than that =)What kind of influence do you think Twilight has on teenage girls?
I believe that Twilight supports sadomasochism and things of that nature. I mean, look at the pain Bella WANTS to go through.





I also think that the relationship between Edward and Bella is very bad. Bella is way too dependent on Edward and can't do anything when he leaves her. It's not a way teenage girls should be thinking of relationships.What kind of influence do you think Twilight has on teenage girls?
Good: Gets people reading





Bad: Allows too many to think can be writers just like Meyer and become as famous as her, teenage pregnancy, shallow expectations of what a ';perfect'; guy is, makes girls have misguided ideas about guys, writing is subpar at best, Meyer's obnoxious ';Mary-Sue'; character that is Bella, good grief, I could go on.
To me, Twilight has become almost a cult, and has gotten totally out of hand. It definitely gets girls to raise their expectations and want to run off with someone who can perhaps meet those expectations. Also, Twilight is reaching a younger and younger age group as it goes along, and it's not good for girls who are eight or nine to be reading a book like that.





Hope I helped!
It's a good influence because it has gotten them reading and many of them writing.





It's a bad influence because, while I'm not hating, and not saying it's not good entertainment for that crowd, but the writing sucks and is not worth imitating.
Yes, its had a big one. There is even a south park episode about the ';vamp'; trend that has been happening. Watch it and you will get the idea about what these teens are doing
They now relate everything back to Twilight. And also, they now think that vampires are real.
It makes them want to write vampire books %26amp; fanfiction
It makes them think their dousche bag vampires
