    The "you fat, worthless skanks!" Line is quoting Tyra Banks, and Nikki is criticizing Tyra for saying these things to her contestants in ANTM. This is what happens when you take lines out of context to make something sound bad.

    I read these books when i was about 10 years old. I have to say that for a book that gets so much hate, it helped me get through bullying in school when i was young, since Nikki (the main character) was getting bullied at school too. This is for all of the parents: every book, movie, video, internet site, they all have their flaws. I believe that its not worth it to make your kid back away from reading. Not a lot of kids read these days and that is a big problem. If i hadnt picked up that book at 10 years old i wouldnt be reading books now at 17. The reason that book one was changed was because it was "too mature" for its audience. It was also editted many times throught the years, like every other popular book. Its completely normal since times change and so does the book.

    It's amazing to me how the same generation of parents who ban these books simply for having unlikable protagonists ate the same generation of parents who have the audacity to complain about the younger generation being "overly sensitive". It just seems like projection. Funny how most kids seem to enjoy these books and don't take them too seriously while their parents are the ones getting worked up over these books.

    guys… on the back of all the dork diaries books, it says “ages 9-10”. i get it that some people don’t like the series and i respect their opinion. but the mothers daughter is 7…so how it is their fault exactly??? it’s not anyone’s fault, but next time, parents, read the back of the book the next time you give ur child, a book.
    edit: notice how I said “I respect other people’s opinions on the book” so, don’t think I’m hating on all books except dork diaries”.
    edit 2: and if you think there’s something more, please tell me why dork diaries is inappropriate for some kids.

      Theres nothing "innapropriate" about the books. Parents are just too overprotective, i get it, you want to keep your child safe, but sending your child to school, they will hear things far worse than any of the text in the dork diaries books. You cant keep kids in a little buble forever.

      i don't really get why people kinda like- hate dork daries and like- idk. dairy of a wimpy kid is overrated (imo, also no hate)
      dork daries is targetted for girls, and wimpy kid is mostly for boys. the two are different, and girls problems are a bit "cringe", i know.
      but that's no reason to hate on it, sometimes i don't understand dairy of a wimpy kid that much, and i enjoy dork daries more (bc yk- i'm a girl i guess).
      anyways, in conclusion
      dairy of a wimpy kid is overrated, both dork daries and DWK (i'm too lazy to write the whole name) aren't the same and you can't expect dork daries to be as "good" as DWK
