		<description>[...] So goes the opener for CBS News Early Morning Show this week titled “Teen Twilight Trend: Love Bites”…Coupla things here: First, in our media-hyped culture of ‘three makes a trend’ I’d like to lob the powerball question into the “who says so” media literacy 101 line of inquiry, and add that the only reason I’m even commenting about it is two people I respect were on the show: Dr. Michael Rich of CMCH Boston (aka The Mediatrician) and Radical Parenting’s youthful sage, Vanessa VanPetten.

		<description>If this is called five lessons, why are there six? &amp; why are they simply dot points about things that upset the writer of this article, rather than actual lessons to learn?</description>

		<description>Reading this artical, I found I have a few peoblems with it. 
If a teenage girl has read the twilight books, she will know that Bella does eat, she is constantly cooking for her father and joining him in eating the meal. 

The sleep wathing thing? That is not creepy..im sure, if you have boyfriend yourself, as I do, then you will know that when they fall asleep and you are still awake you might find yourself looking at them and just thinking..also, Bella finds comfort in sleeping in edwards arms, he does not sleep..so really, what do you expect him to do?

You think that Jacob is a bit extreme? Well, you probably already know, but have just forgotten, Jacob said he would kill himself purley to make kiss him and Bella see that he loves her and she loves him, and clearly told her afterwards that he would not have killed himself.
he also said he would kill her because he has anger problems, and you will also know that because it is one of the affects of being a wolf.

As for the problem you have with Edward hurting Bella, you should know that that is the one thing he has done his best to prevent, and when id did happen, I think you will agree Edward could not have been more sorry. He never wanted to become intimate with Bella purley because he did not want that to happen, and when they did become intimate, Bella knew perfectly, and in detail the risks of what could happen and still went ahead with it.

Your right that lying should not go unpunished, but Bella has been grounded when her father has found out. Enough said.

First of all, the window is most definatly NOT unsafe for these people for obvious reasons.
And as for the fact that Bella has boys stay over ( actually only Edward) she is not doing anything intimate with him, he is just there because she enjoys his company and she feels safe. I do not think that there is anything wrong with that. If it was a female friend, there would not be anything said.

 So basically i do not agree with this artical, I have enjoyed the other ones though.

And i will just finish off with I am most definatly Team Edward, beacuse they love eachother unconditioally, and really that is all that matters. Also, Jacob imprints with renesmee, so osbviously he loves her, but nowhere near as much as Edward does.
And i do think Jacob is a good guy, but Edward is a much better guy that always has Bellas best interests at heart.

Thank you.</description>
