* BrokenAesop: The novel series has an almost shockingly negative view of sex, which is perhaps appropriate given a teenage demographic, but it's worth noting that most of the people who have sex are either bad/unstable people, or are punished for it.
** Tibby is punished for having sex for the first time with a pregnancy scare that scars her so much she breaks up with Brian.
** Bridget having sex with Eric is an obviously reckless action driven by her mental illness; it also makes her miserable.
** Lena loses her virginity to Leo and becomes depressed that it wasn't with her one true love.
** Kostas and Lena don't have sex their second summer together, but he reveals that he ''had'' had sex with a previous girlfriend, who was ObviouslyEvil and faked a pregnancy to BabyTrap him. Basically, the message is that good people only have sex with their one true love, and even then, you better watch out!

But considering all the things that Bridget (and the others) go through throughout the books, it's odd that seemingly all of her problems are solved more through projects and a good talk with a loved one. Particularly extreme in ''Sisterhood Everlasting,'' where she states that "even the sky felt like a prison" and she is in such distress that she ''runs away from her current life'' and can't bear her emotions, but it's all resolved by [[spoiler:getting pregnant and connecting with Brian and little Bailey.]]

When Carmen goes to college in the fourth book, she realizes that she finds it nearly impossible to make new friends because she's grown so accustomed to always having her childhood friends with her.

So they decide to rotate the pants around through the mail to keep in touch while they're apart. Each book in the series takes place over one summer.

Carmen and Tibby visit Bridget who talks about her mother and she tells her friends that she just wants to feel good and happy and alive (sanguine). The last one to join them is Lena who feels so sad that people like Kostas and Bridget who have lost everything can still be open to love while she, who has lost nothing, is not (phlegmatic).
