That's when I first read Catcher in the Rye. <br /><br />Perks of a Wallflower is ok. It's not the greatest book I ever read, but I'm glad to have read it. <br /><br />My parents didn't sensor anything growing up. I knew the expectations of how I should act. They explained to me that if I picked up any poor language or behavior, then they would sensor what I watched/read/etc...It worked out well for me, and I will probably do the same for my kids.

Hangs head in shame , that I haven't read Perks yet. <br />I do understand why they ban books, but it also goes against my choice to allow my kids the choice to read anything. <br /><br />I was able to choose any book from the library growing up. I made some good choices and some bad ones. But that's what you do when you are young.

Being up front and honest with our kids is the best option. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by! :)Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387514456532980921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371194560616812613.post-851708666509954012012-10-03T00:58:32.467-04:002012-10-03T00:58:32.467-04:00I don't really have any planned, however, I th...I don't really have any planned, however, I think that the whole book banning is ridiculous. I mean seriously, if you are that offended about a child reading something just ask the teacher to give said child busy work. Why ruin everyone elses life. Sigh. I will not continue my rant, but really life goes on people we can't all get rid of things just because one person says they are offended. <br /><br />I have to say that I was surprised by The Hunger Games. I mean it really isn't anymore violent than Lord of the Flies and that was a required read when I was little. <br /><br />Great Post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600555974821219096noreply@blogger.com
