This IS Rated XXX Parental Advisory IS Advised

Censorship in schools? Do you agree? This is nonsense! Truly do you think if they have the censors for books in school that they should KEEP it in ELEMENTRY! High school students’ mouths are worse then the books so why some books should be banned. Some typed literature they have out these day us older students (ages 15-18) can relate to them. Parents in some instances should have a say in what there students read to an extent, but not when there kids hide what they’ve been through. Come on, let’s be honest. Do we teenagers tell our parents EXACTLY EVERYTHING we’re going through?! I truly don’t ever want my mom EXPECIALLY knowing what I’ve done. It’s nice to have books out there to read that are kind of our lives typed out and help us cope with different situations. It’s not like we’re reading Shore Thing by Nicole Polizzi. Now I can see where parents would be concerned with teachers allowing that. Teachers that want to get this society students interested in reading is allowing them to get books that have common problems in them and the ends turning out to be better. For example: Teen Dating Violence is common. The book Breathing Underwater by Alex Finn was a great instance with both sides not being innocent. At first I was totally against reading it, but as my teacher kept encouraging me to finish it, I became relived. Ages have a big part in this, the maturity level in a teen need to be high to understand that maybe the books we read are actually things other teens have dealt with or still have too. I never used to like reading in school. Now that we read things that grab my attention I can’t get enough of it. Books to relate to for example are: Crank, Glass, Burned, and Impulse by: Ellen Hopkins; Cherry by Mary Karr; Go Ask Alice by Anonymous.
