What Girls Want

Honestly, I did not understand the point of this piece.  It was overly general and it tended to jump around.  It started off with divorce and moving and how stressful that can be.  Then it somehow morphed into a piece that says that teen girls need a place to hide when they are down, and that place should be an unrealistic, dramatization of love which will only let the girl down in the long run.  If authors want to keep showing how "easy" love can be and that the first encounter you have with love is the only one you are going to have, well then we can bet that the depression rates of teen girls will continue to rise.  I honestly wish that authors would write a story about how hard love can actually be and that it doesn't always happen overnight and that it doesn't always happen to be a muscular, mysterious, physically beautiful being.  Also, why does a girl need to blame stress to want to escape into a book where mythical creatures exist and love comes so easy.  I don't know, I guess I just didn't like this piece.
