Bella's immaturity would be far less annoying if she were being set up as a teenage everygirl who has a lot of growing up to do, but Meyer keeps harping on about how she's supposedly so very different and special, not like those other shallow, immature girls, and how she's the responsible one, the adult, in her relationship with her mom. To me, that was what made her immaturity irritating: what we were told was so at odds with what we were shown.

Case in point: she's so busy feeling sorry for herself, all through her first two (or is it three?) days in Forks, that she doesn't even think to call Renee or shoot her an email to say that she arrived safely. When she finally checks her email and finds twenty or so frantic messages from Renee, the reply she fires off is really snotty--and she doesn't even apologize. Hardly the behavior of the "adult" in the relationship, if you ask me--and that's when I knew I was going to hate Bella.

That's a really good point. I suppose it's been quite a while since I read the books. I do remember being irritated at all the "tell, don't show" Meyer does.
