Obviously, you're not going to use the characters in this book as role models. There's a little bit of everything--eating disorders, sexuality, cursing, violence, drinking, and sex, but in all, it's entertaining. I really enjoyed reading this book and didn't find it as shallow as other teenage books. It was a little creepy, with Alison's disappearance and the messages that are popping up everywhere, but it added an edge to the story. The characters are all a little extreme, in my opinion, but that makes the story interesting. I say read it if you're looking to relax but to also get a little something from it. It's a little mature, but I wouldn't say 15 and up. We all know about this stuff anyway.

There's absolutely no problem with this book. Any kid aged over 15 understands that just because they read a book where they do bad things, doesn't mean they should do it. Just because a book isn't completely G rated doesn't mean that teenagers can't understand. Because they befriended this Queen-Bee Alison, they were caught up in this. It is BECAUSE they drink, do drugs, smoke, hook up with teachers, etc. that they are in this mess. When I read this, a lot of what goes through my mind is "Huh. Wow. I definitely shouldn't make out with my English teachers then." And her friend having gone missing... well that actually happens in real life. You can't pretend that a 15 year old doesn't understand that it's a dangerous world out there. Giving her kiddy books that make the world look like sunshine and rainbows is only going to make her an idiot.

pretty little liars... one of the BEST series EVER!! ?

These books do have a bit of inappropriate content, but trust me, it's nothing that your child hasn't been exposed to at school, or television. This series displays how people can make big mistakes, and how it has all come back around and they've had to pay for them. If you think that your child hasn't been exposed to this kind of stuff, then wake up already!! The author Sara Shepard is displaying to young girls across the country how stupid you look in the end, when you lie, cheat, steal, or abuse alcohol or smoking. Contrary to what some parents and educators might think, she is not glamorizing these issues, but showing the reality of them. Many people think like to make themselves think that their child hasn't been exposed to something, or they want to ignore a topic because they feel it is inappropriate. I'm sorry, but here's a wake up call: When You ignore something, it doesn't go away; It only makes it worse.

The girls are privligde but they aren't spoiled brats. They have to go through losing one of their best friends, which is the one that is the leader and the meanest one. But most of the girls get themselves in the situations they are in by accident. Hanna has to face her dad leaving her and her mother for a more perfect wife and daughter, so she throws up to try to be just as perfect as her future step-sister. Aria goes to a bar to meet a guy that isn't stuck-up like the typical Rosewood Day boys, and suddenly finds out that he is her English teacher. Spencer is a stright A student, but her older sister's boyfriends seem to find her more appeling and she tries hard to be just as perfect as her older sister, which to her, her parents seem to like the best. Then last but not least, Emily had fallen in love with her missing bestfriend Alison, and when she meets the new girl she starts to feel feeling for her, even though she knows her strict parents won't alow it. The novel ends when they find Alison's body and gets evil text messages to expose who they all are, and A, the secret messenger, threatens to tell about the 'Jenna Thing'. Each girl holds a secret, but can they keep it?

Pretty little liars is made for teens most likely 13 and older but pll has bad language not much of sex but i kind of contains it and some volence and drinking and smoking but not crazy i think that you might want to read it then let them.

FAVORITE SERIES EVER!!!!!!! I totally loved it!! It might not be suitable for other 12 year olds though.

This book is great!!!! Im only 11 and finished the first book in this series within 2 days! I think its fine for anyone 10 and up or in sixth grade and up. It only has kissing, really. And any adults who dont think their 10 and 11 yr old kids dont know a thing about this kind of stuff, your probably wrong. We DO have health class, FYI!!!! But the girls do somebad things, and i highly doubt anybody would look up to them.

the best series i have read in my life.
