We live in a world where parents believe they are capable of shielding their children from the reality of life until the day they die. These days parents are keeping their children from reading adult fiction novels, essays, articles etc, for one reason. They are inappropriate for their age. Now not many believe this false accusation. Adult fiction books do expose teens to new things, good or bad, but it is simply a part of growing up. In the norms eyes, teens reading adult fiction books is perfectly normal, and affective with their learning and development. Parents keeping their teens from challenging themselves in literature by reading these books are just simply holding them back.
I enjoyed reading this article because i agree with it very much so. I hate when parents hold their teens back from something that can truly benefit them, its absurd to me. Reading these books are for their own good, for the bettering of their intelligence and pushing them to develop into young men and women. i encourage teens to read adult fiction often, they always seem to be great books and are a good challenge.
You should read King Dork and let me know what you think.
