I agree with Ellabelle ---- clearly, Bella was not meant to stay human. <*grins*>
as do i.

i think firefly was the one who doesn't see bella as mature enough, considering her self-esteem issues. she has yet to fully mature but compared to jess and lauren she is very mature in regards that she thinks of everyone else first; she's self-less and gives more than she takes. thats kind of rare for a 17 year old girl in this day and age.
I asked in one of these threads if Bella had moved around a lot, which I thought may have accounted for her lack of friends or even acquaintances, but I don't think I received an answer, and I'm not sure there's anything in the Books that points to or disregards this theory except for Bella's reason for moving to Forks - Renée didn't want to be away from Phil, who had to travel a lot. I'm guessing if Renée and Bella already had a nomadic lifestyle, Renée probably wouldn't have worried about uprooting Bella again so they/she could be with Phil (unless he had a really hectic schedule or something).

Think back to Twilight. She went to ballet around the corner from her house when she was a little girl. The same house her mother just moved out of. Which implies that until Phil came along, they were anything but nomadic. She goes on to say that the reason she thought boys didn't notice her was because they had witnessed her go through her akward phases.

Twilight pg 407.But I felt no relief. no sense of homecoming.
