No.
I am almost 16, and I read this book along with many other trashy teen novels in middle school, and they gave me the absolute wrong messages. These books led me to believe that all teens drink and have sex and party, and they didn't oppose them. Luckily, I had an epiphany that I don't want to do any of that stuff before I made any mistakes, but these books are the exact wrong thing, and by the time teens are old enough to not be poorly affected, it is too immature. And yes, these things do happen in high school, but there are plenty of social circles teens can find that don't.

Get a grip, this is real life
I enjoyed this book very much, it actually has some realistic events in it. For the parents who aren't going to let thier kid read it because of the inapropriate content... if you don't want you're kids hearing this stuff you may as well keep them home from school because that is the only thing kids talk about these days.. I think this is a good book for girls who are at least mature enough to handle it. For any younger girls perhaps 9 and up I suggest the Luv Ya Bunches series. Not too inapropriate, and has realistic events.

Great book but shouldn't be read kids in elementary school
I'm 15 and this is a great book! I've read the whole series and I really think this book should not be read by kids in elementary school.

A fun read.
Please don't be put off this book just because it's written in IM. There's not necessarily much to discuss and it's not, well, very deep; it's simply just a really fun read. It's about girls dealing with complicated and real situations in their lives, and it's not like they encourage each other to do bad things. They look out for one another. Whenever I'm feeling down or I've had enough of classical literature I read a little of TTFN and feel relaxed. It's funny and the characters are personable and relatable. Funnily enough, just reading about their experiences (trying pot, for instance) satiates my curiousity without me having to actually go out and try these things for myself. It's amazing how Lauren Myracle depicted the girls' different personalities through IM, of all things.

Theres so much more to it(:
Truth is, i thought L8r G8r was a much better book than this. but that is just my opinion. Anyway this book was great too! It should me that boys,drugs & sex shouldnt come between friendships. And it showed me that high school isnt just about boys,partys,drugs, &sex. There is so much more to it. Overall GREAT BOOK!!

!!!
I read this book when I was 11 and I understood that drugs, drinking ect, is wrong because my parents taught that these things are bad at a young age so as long as your child understands this, it is a great book about three loving friends.

Great Book, but Harsh Terms
So, i read this series when i was like 10, but my mom was okay with it. i didnt understand what they were talking about at 1st because i didnt really use "text lingo" but i caught on. it's a very realistic book and i enjoyed it so much :) i wish i had friends like this :)

good and bad... mostly good :)
Im 13 and i loved ttyl and ttfn. im gonna buy l8r g8r cause the first two books were FANTASTIC!! i really think this book is ok for 12 and up as long as the parents think there child is mature enough and aware of what is going on, and how to appropriatly handle a situation that happened in the book, if it happens in real life. this book allows the parent and teen to both be more open in the discussion of safe sex and how drugs may effect you. this book has some good messages on how to be a terrific friend and and choose great friends... i hope you liked this book as much as i did!!

Good for older teens
It was a good book! I do have to admit that it did have a lot of negative messages so i wouldn't recommend it for ages 12 and under! I probably shouldn't of read it myself...

YES for 13+ IFFY for 11-12 NO for 10/under
This book is about 3 girls who go through the ups and downs of high school. They are honest with their friends and say what they feel, do, and think. I think this books relates to teen high school girls, very well. Sadly some of the stuff if true. And yes, what the website review above say about the "Sexual Behavior" is true...I'd recomend this book to mature 11-12 year old, and definetly for 13 year olds. You must read the first one, TTYL, first!This is the 2nd one... :D I read this my 7th grade year, 12 years old, going into Middle School, and a couple years later going into High School, relates to high schoolers well.
