I have read this and it is a wonderfully powerful book about many issues I think teenagers need to understand and know about. Many banned books teach lessons and address issues others choose to ignore. I personally think that this is the reason why they are banned. People feel threatened by these viewpoints that may differ from theirs, and so ban the book. I believe book banning is wrong, it is up to the parents of younger children to determine what they can and cannot read and when they get over they should be able to read what they want to. Book banning is a censorship of expression and speech and I believe it is a violation of the Constitution.

We discussed why they were banned and yes i can see why but, i believe you actually learn from them. Over the summer i read many teen books that are "banned" at my school. The books i read let me see things totally different from the way teachers have been teaching us or the direction they have been guiding us. I find banned books more interesting and the authors even more interesting. I was intrigued from reading banned book previews and i plan to read from the list i made. One of the books i want to read is "13 reasons why" i didnt read a review but my teacher said it has a teenager that is suicidal and depressed and just had some teen likely problems so i thought i should read it because i can see life from a different teens point of view and see how someone else thinks and feel for the character. Not many kids at my school understand why some teens cut or are suicidal or depressed but if they read they can get a better understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500222591191413414.post-8876772130906130072013-09-09T01:26:52.598-06:002013-09-09T01:26:52.598-06:00You need a do-over! and Oh yes, we had our share o... You need a do-over! and Oh yes, we had our share of seedy hostels in England - electrical outlets only in the hall, one 8x10 mirror for 6 people and a notice not to drink the water if you are on the second floor. Complete plumbing failure on our second day blamed on the 150 kids - no flushing, no hot water....And our hotel in Paris was in a very "lively" part of the city. Such is travel!

(1997!) I went with no budget, stayed in a gross hostile in a bad part of town and did not eat a single meal in a restaurant. I do have the most amazing memory of eating a picnic dinner of bread, cheese and cheap wine in the rain as we watched the Eifle Tower light up while night fell. I would love to go see the city again as a grown up!Getrealmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845080109898768505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500222591191413414.post-4186794098061725552013-08-13T17:22:25.709-06:002013-08-13T17:22:25.709-06:00Great to meet you, and thanks for the lovely blog ...Great to meet you, and thanks for the lovely blog post mentions! :) Sarah McIntyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799864162571966502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500222591191413414.post-54160937724420566202013-08-08T17:57:33.297-06:002013-08-08T17:57:33.297-06:00What a great idea!
