you should change the title. the books arent highly innapropriate, perverted, or anything abt lust. i don't think i don't have to provide any reasons why because its already stated above. i don't know what country you live in or bookstores you visit. because everytime i go to a bookstore the twilight novels are placed in the young adult section or bestseller section, and that section contains all sorts of books, from childrens to pre-teen to young adult and adult. in the library its always placed in the YA section unless its been misplaced. you could of just say. twilight is not for people under 13. that would of made more sense. you need to read all the books to say if its lust, innapropriate or perverted. its totally bizarre how you came up with those words.

I live in New York, US, and the Twilights are placed in kids' section there. And later on in the books, Twilight does get inappropriate for children, and yet it's still in the kids' section in the bookstore and in the libraries I go to.

That brings us back to the same topic. The only mistake is that nowadays Twilight is being classified books for Kids! When its not meant for them. Someone should do something about this or else kids will totally ruin their minds at this tender age about love and etc
Twilight is meant for teenagers and young adults. The only thing that is bugging me is that who tagged Twilight Saga under the Children's section?😵

You're right. That's why I've been trying to say. It really shouldn't be put in the kids' section, because kids don't know how to interpret the books, and although they could be completely harmless to people like us, that may not prove to be the case for children.

I'm in the US...I'm 13.
Almost everyone has read this book in my class. I don't think it's bad at all. I mean, okay, a few romantic scenes here and there. It's about love and doesn't promote anyhting anyway. if it was like this everyhting should be banned. All these HIndi movies with kissing and everything. All these songs with bad meanings. It's all a part of life and if you know your limits. It's not bad. Nothing is wrong iwth the book. THis is just a natural thing nowadays and we are exposed to it anyway 24/7. Kids know their limits. It doens't give us wrong ideas of any sort. Maybe you won't understand, that kids nowadays are beocming more and more mature. They understand everyhting.
THis is just a little ignorant to me. Sorry.

Twilight, a series by Stephanie Meyers which recently rose to success, is highly highly inappropriate for children 12 and younger. As a school teacher, I see lots of my students reading Twilight and become infatuated with it, and it's disturbing me.

One major thing that is a concerning matter for me is the bedroom scene in the first book. People think that scene is romantic, but in fact, it encourages lusty behavior among others. These books claim to be pro-abstinence, and that may be true, but it certainly encourages people to have perverted thoughts. I especially think it's horrible how it's the hero himself who does this. I don't find it romantic at all, but perverted. I am probably the only one who thinks this, but personally, I can't wait until this nonsense dies down.

totaly agree mame!!!!😃😃

For kids 12 or under, deff, without a doubt. But for 13 and older, they should have sense and just be careful, I guess, because this IS natural in life .. you just have to know what's right and wrong. :)
