Today, I walked in on my daughter hugging and sobbing into her Edward Cullen cut-out. She won't tell me what's wrong, yet she can confide in a creepy fictional stalker whose facial expression is locked to "chronically constipated". Where did I go wrong? FML

...Twilight is still a "thing?"

When you decided to judge her and then post it on fml so the rest of the world could judge her, thats where you went wrong. Before that seems fairly normal for a teen girl.

Agreed completely. Look, we all know that Twilight is utter shit, but why the hell is everyone so mad at a teenaged girl for liking it? It's stupid, yes, but does it really add much to the story? It's clearly a girl who is confiding in an object that won't talk back or judge (just like someone else might confide in a stuffed animal or a pet), possibly because she feels her mom won't be so understanding. And hey, guess what? When her mom saw her doing that, she proceeded to log on to FML and judge her on her interest in Twilight, suggesting that she "went wrong" somewhere with her kid. That's not the type of person I'd want to confide in, I don't know about you. What if your parents judged you for liking Harry Potter or something you liked? Even though Twilight isn't at the same level as HP it's the same principle, and most of you are being really irrationally rude about a teenage girl being interested in something you are not interested in.

Um your daughter is how old and you are asking where YOU went wrong. As any parent of a female knows they get googly eyed over boy bands and actors.

Every generation has a daft fad like this. I feel bad for you though that your daughter feels she can only relate to a fictional character. It's not your fault, it's Stephanie Meyer's

do you remember Hansen? I barely do as well. this will pass, just like they did.

Um.. as a Hanson fan, I'd like to say that 16 years later, Hanson's still around and making amazing music! Don't believe me? Check out their NEW album ANTHEM... I can guarantee you won't regret it!

Just saying, as a teen (I'm assuming she's also a teen) you confide with everything except your parents. If she chooses to confide with Edward Cullen it's exactly the same thing as confiding with a teddy bear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Though it is kinda wrong that you choose to judge her for what she's interested in. Liking Twilight is no big deal, especially considering that she could drink and do drugs instead. Just wait till she calms down and then ask her, she'll probably feel a little more open :)
