Honestly, you have not the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Wikipedia? Are you kidding me? That’s your research?

We have raised our daughter in the way she should go. She has been instilled with strong moral values and Scripture from the day of her birth. I can think of no one her age who has had a life more bathed in prayer.

What’s more, she’s really a prude. The girls at her school have mocked her as “Saintly Sarah,” because she refuses to go to the parties they go to or let boys go as far as they do. And this is at a conservative Christian school.

She has also gotten heat from other kids because of how strict her mother and I are, and have always been. We have always known where she is and who she is with 24/7 and she has rarely been out of our sight.

At a time when most teens are rebelling and getting into trouble, she is closer than ever to her mother and me. She has a habit of telling her mother EVERYTHING.

Yeah, she’s had her teen moments. A lot of them. But, at age 17 she has yet to bring shame on our family.

I guess it’s because she understands that it is fiction.

Her favorite book remains The Bible.

OK, you didn't appreciate the synopsis Wikipedia gave..?

As a parent, what is YOUR 'nutshell version' of this book, Breaking Dawn (if you don't mind)

nathanbedford, you would rather take me to task for my grammatical errors than discuss the merits of the book....!

Dear parent, it's your child.

You are comfortable with this and your conscience doesn't reject this or cause you to feel uncomfortable? .....the Holy Spirit doesn't nudge you with 'this isn't edifying?'

I still find it sad if young, impressionable teens are succumbing to this tripe.

_________________________________________

Sounds like she “has a habit of telling her mother EVERYTHING” her mother wants to hear...

But NOT EVERYthing ...

I’m not impressed by parents that boast their children read The Bible and can recite it backwards while playing Chopin with their toes on the pianoforte..

There are other Scriptures in The Bible that tell us to stay away from evil and the suggestion of evil...

Why would you let you underage child read such drek ???
