I agree with you that vampires are not the same now. And I agree that these are not real vampires, they are not scary any more... Personally, I like Twilight. Please, don't throw stones in me, okay? But I always say that Twilight is not about vampires, it's about love and for those people who want to believe that anything, even such a fairy-tale, can happen to an ordinary girl. Alright, I'm not talking Twilight here... I agree that before vampires were scary, I really like 'Salem's Lot (oh my, I was scared to death while reading it at the night time), I was scared when I listened to the audiobook Dracula... That is what vampires should be, that's right. By the way, I've heard that this year there will be a new movie about vampires, they predict it will make people forget about the Twilight Saga... Somehow, I guess vampires won't be scary there, either. I forgot the name of the movie...

There will also be another movie about vampires - Only Lovers Left Alive. I am really looking forward to it. I guess it must show us some real modern vampires. We'll see...
Twilight is not a love story. It is about a young girl who is infatuated with a much older man. She puts herself at risk constantly for him...and he allows it because like most perverts he's worth it in his own mind.

And people get arrested for causing such physical pain while having sex with a young girl...even if she's willing.

I have never thought about it this way... That's curious. I would not agree with this if we speak about Twilight (not going to argue about this at all, some people like it, some people hate it and everyone has their right to do either), but the idea in general is really interesting. Please, tell it to my cousin who is dating a 22-year-old guy (she is 15).

I agree, whether someone likes or dislikes a book or a movie is a simple difference of opinion. My problem with this story is when young girls view it as a love story. That is not love. And young impressionable girls seeing it as a love story will allow themselves to be abused physically and mentally because their awesome boyfriend is "just like Edward". In fact, did you know that Pattinson is quite disgusted by his die-hard fans? Some rip their own throats open when they see him...offering it to him.

The characters are well written in that they do come to life. The problem is the main characters have no redeeming qualities. Belle turns her back on everyone for an infatuation. She uses her friends to meet with her older boyfriend.

Love means respecting each other and welcoming each other into your world. When you have to sneak around, lie, and risk injury....that's infatuation, and usually very bad for you.

Btw, that 22 year old guy can probably be arrested. I think with a 15 year old it's statutory rape, whether she's willing or not. I truly hope your cousin wizens up and sends him packing. Hopefully before she does anything she will regret for the rest of her life. 15 is such a hard age to be. Really, you are still a kid, but you sure don't feel like one.

Sometimes 15 year old girls can be more mature than 22 year old guys. Not sure if that is the case with your cousin, though!

There was a 15 year old girl interested in my son a few years ago. I think Josh was about 23 at the time. I told him to stay away from her until she was at least 16, but she moved on and we never see her anymore.
