Question: Can someone tell me how to argue with my mother!?
okay so you know that book twilight!? well i really want to read it but my mother wont let me(im 13)!. she says that in the 4th book it gets very intense(sexually)!. i asked her if i could just only read the first book because there is nothing bad about that one!. she didn't buy(even though its true!)!. well i need a good argument to get her to let me read them and it would probably work best if you are someone who has read this book!. all help would be greatly appreciated!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know if this one will convince her but:
It's nothing worse than what you can see on television any given moment you turn it on!. It seriously isn't that bad!. It doesn't go into any details whatsoever!.
Show respect to your mom that she knows what you are reading and she tries to somewhat control things that may influence you, but try to gently let her know that you are mature enough, and that it really isn't all that bad!.
If she still doesn't let you promise her that you won't want to read the last one if she lets you read the first few!. She might just be scared that after you read the first three she won't be able to stop you from reading the last one!.
I know this might sound a little bit 'weird' and uncomfortable, but maybe it will be worth it if she lets you read them: tell her she can read the intense parts with or to you!. It would be weird but if she agrees it totally might be worth it!. Just tell her that you know it is only a book and that you know you will not get influenced by it!. Make sure she knows you are mature and responsible enough to handle something like that!. Agree to any ultimatum she might present you with!. Good luck! I hope you convince her, they really are great! !.!.!.and a tad addicting- don't let your mom know that :)!. I hope I was able to help!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Tell your mother to back off and that this is a good book for your reading!. Save up your money and buy it yourself, but you would have to hide it from her of course!. However the series is pretty expensive!.When she says that the fourth book is a little intense she means it is very intense!. It is a little subcject for a 13 year old!. but hey oh well!. I say save up a little money go buy the series and hide it from her!. It is your reading level nd acctually the book is written for preteens and teens!. In my opinion you should read what you want reguardless of what your parents think!. You should be able to read what makes you happy!. :)

seriously!. there's nothing bad about twilight!. borrow it from your friend and read it at at school!. lend the first book to your mom and let her read it after you read it at school cuz you're gonna want to buy your own and read it over and over again :)
then she'll realise that there's nothing bad about the book!. it's awesome actually!. i'm a fan xD and i'm 12!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

tell her that they never actually descibe the sex scenes!. they just wake up!. i'm the same age as you and my mom let me read it!. she read it to!! you could get it out from the library and let your mom read it first!. then, if she still thinks it's 'too intense' you can just return it!. but she'll probably end up hooked on it too!! i hope i helped!!

Your mother loves you more than anything else in this world!. She wants what's best for you!. I'm no expert (still a teenager), but I think you should listen to her!. Mothers do a lot for their children, and they deserve to be listened to in return!.

The fourth book does have sex in it!. And if I had a child, I wouldn't want him/her to read it!. Can you at least see where she's coming from!? She doesn't want you to have bad influences in your life!.

If you really want to read Twilight, ask your mom to read it first!. That way she'll be able to decide whether or not it's appropriate!. If she Still doesn't want you to read it, don't argue with her!. As corny as it sounds, it's because she loves you!. And maybe you can read it when you're a little older!.

EDIT: Do NOT buy/borrow it and hide it from her!. Your mother deserves more respect than that, and I'm sure you are a better person than to do that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
