1) Tackling the issue.
I do not believe that the parents can choose what books the kids read or the teachers choice of book to read. The books right now are mainly about life and I don't believe it is fair. I guarantee that the books that the kids are reading right now are the same theme as the shows they watch as well so it is not much of a difference. Drugs and drinking are all apart of life, outside these walls of school there are actually people doing those bad influences. Everyone has a different taste in book and i do not think that the parents should choose out the book for their kids. Does that mean if your friend talk in foul language, that the parents should choose their friends too? No it does not and its wrong to interfere with what your kid read. On the book their is always a downfall and the character regrets on their action. That might make the kid realise i better not make the same mistake that person in the book made. If the kid has an interest of the type of the book i bet that they are mature and grownup to handle the issues going on it.
Many teens today know about the bad judgment that some other teens make and in the book it reflects the teens mistake and makes the reader know that they should never do it. Also the foul language, its not like they are never going to here it in there life and some readers are the ones that say it all the time. What parents don't know is what their kid is like when their kids are in school and what they read. Parents should care what book their kid reads especially if it is a book a teacher wants them to read or recommend because the book may have a theme in the book that the teacher wants to explain, but if the parents are over protective of that then the teenager will never know what the messages come upon the kid. When book have a theme on a teen who's life turned around because of one stupid night on drinking, that is not a way to get your teen to start for continue drinking, its a way to be scared of it. Teens are mature to handle the way life is now and parents shouldn't interfere on what books their teen or kids want to read.
