www.popstar.com: Throughout Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga we discover a love story wrapped tightly between three souls grasping for freedom and we quickly become enthralled by the storytelling.  As fans, we have interwoven our lives, our hopes, and our dreams inside the pages of this remarkable and passionate tale of love. 

It is very easy to fall into the pages of Twilight and never want to leave, to want to spend an eternity with Bella, Jacob, Edward, and the rest of the characters.  But the message of love that seeps out of Twilight and into the minds of people worldwide is a bit distorted.  It is undeniable that Bella and Edward have something magical, but in reality, in the real world, does that magic exist?  Are we leading on the youth by glorifying the behaviors of Bella and Edward?

Bella goes about dealing with the breakup the worst possible way; in reality, the young, confused girl should have sought professional help for her unrestrainable feeling of heartache.  But in the book, Bella does the opposite, she buries her feelings deep down.  Is that the message we want to send out?  Is it okay to become depressed, use your friends, and become something you are not in order to hold onto a lost relationship?
