TEENS: Why does it seem that when...?
Why does it seem that whenever someone is reading a Harry Potter book, they are labeled as a geek or nerd who has no social life at all, but when they are reading Twilight, no one gives them a second glance?

I haven't noticed that at all. Everyone I know has no problem with Harry Potter and gets nauseous anytime Twilight is mentioned.
IMO Harry Potter might be nerdy...but at least it doesn't suck! I think that's why no one bothers much with Twilight...because with HP many people besides kids like it. Many adults love it(umm like me and all my friends) ...but I don't know many adults who actually like Twilight. Its seen as a strictly kid thing, just another current trend teenage girls are crazy over just like a boy band or new hair product.

I find it absurd that someone automatically assumes that because somebody likes something that the person is an unpopular shut-in. Personally, I like Harry Potter somewhat (I'm not an obsessed fan, if you buy me a book, I'll read it ^_^, but I won't stand in line for hours to read it), and I don't think I'll ever begrip the appeal of Twilight. Alas, that's just me. I'll admit that I am actually a bit of a geek and a nerd (this is by my own admission), I enjoy researching and learning for fun, I pepper my e-mails and Yahoo! Answers posts with anime smilies (^_^, I like how cute they are ^_^), and I use sundry words all the time that are quite uncommon. I promise that I am not aiming to be ostentatious or pedantic, but I am erudite and proud of it (although I have been publicly admonished on here for my vocabulary by others). I also enjoy video games, some anime, a lot of traditional cartoons, and I also seek to have perfect grades at all times. But, although I am a bit of a geek and a nerd, I do have some people that like me quite a lot outside of family, such as my boyfriend. ^_^

Because only STUPID people think Harry Potter is nerdy..
Since 75% of people are pretty darn stupid, that's all you notice.
The stupid people don't give Twilight a second glance.
Haa :)

Im not sure. I read both and have no labels...(that i know of) Twilight is for the older ages and its about Love and HP is more for middle school.
