Hi all...

This is second hand information that I have taken from another forum I belong to (not related to babies )

It was started by saying that there are schools that are wanting to ban Twilight saying that it is 'racey' and that it's not good for primary school kids. I think these are Catholic schools, but please don't quote me!

The interpretation of the books to these pepole in the forum were that of, violence to women, they say it's a recurring theme in the books (Edward with Bella after DTD when she's covered in bruises, the voilent kiss Jacob gives Bella, what happened with Rosalie) but also suicide, manipulation, and guilt!

I NEVER EVER thought about this while reading these books and I was quite shocked to see others opinions of them in this way! My question is....did anyone else interpret these books in this way? Would you stop a kid from reading them?

My opinion is that it's a fictional book...it's not real! (If Edward were real he's surely be mine right!?) You can see worse things influence kids on the 7 nightly news. If a kid wants to read it, then as long as their parents are alright with that, then I say go for it! I got my sister AND my MUM into it!! Actually...I might start reading them again
