Twilight is getting popular again and I couldn’t be happier because I remember loving it when it first came out, but then when it started getting popular my edgelord-pre-teen-ass decided that meant I couldn’t like it anymore.

The writing in them is still mechanically bad and half of it is purple prose but they were still entertaining books

I’m gonna say something

To anyone that has kids/wants kids: please don’t place all their worth on their intelligence. Please don’t build them up when they’re young and tell them constantly how smart they are and brag to people about how “gifted” they are.

It is just as damaging as building up their worth on their looks/beauty. It is absolutely devastating to their confidence.

Because when they inevitably have trouble in school at some point, they’re gonna freak out. They’re gonna feel worthless. They’re gonna refuse to get tutoring because “they’re smart. they should be able to figure this out on their own”

Just… let your kids be “average”. Place their worth on every aspect of themselves. Dont insist they’re smart when they express having trouble in school. Help them. Tell them it’s ok.

Don’t focus their worth on any one thing. They’re worth something because they’re alive and that should be all that matters.
