I'm so sick of this it's not even funny.
Lately I've been finding some articles online critiquing certain books that girls have grown to love. One particular one is The Clique Series. Though I have no problem with people saying that they're poorly written or whatever, I do care when people say that girls shouldn't read them because the books have shallow characters and apparently girls copy everything they read about. Honestly, I find this insulting to girls' intelligence. Sure, they may be in middle school, but that does not mean they're simply cells stuck together that need adults to make all of their decisions. Girls realize that Lisi Harrison, the author of the Clique books is really making fun of the snobs like those she writes about. It's not like they suddenly start saying stuff like, "Ehmagawd!" and pile on makeup just because they read those books. Adults don't do the things that they see on TV or read about. Teenagers are much closer to the intelligence and maturity level of adults than kids. Some teenagers have even surpassed their parents knowledge-wise. It does not make sense that these books are deemed bad for people because it's thought that others will emulate that characters' behavior. Seriously, we're not that stupid. xox, rachel

i totally agree. i've read some of the Clique series and i didn't think it was THAT bad.
well, keep blogging!
well your right. but guys on the other hand... hmmm.. well lets just say that since steve-o checked himself into a mental rehabilitation (he will be missed dearly) on the grounds that he is "too crazy," the TV and media industry overall will have a dramatically smaller number of lawsuits related to copything that jackass.
