I will agree with one thing: they aren't suited to the specified age group, because they are most certainly not children's books, and I have absolutely NO idea why anyone would classify them as such. If they would just lable them properly in the first place none of this would be a problem -_-.,

I think we're underesitmating children ability to filter what they're reading themselves, and it isn't that bad to read books that are a bit "mature" for you. I was reading books for adults when I was 11, and that didn't harm me.

Besides, this book is basically written my a girl in 8th grade, so the style fits children (but it's a YA book, and they're not neccessarily children who fit into that group)

lmao at "sexual content". COCKBLOCK MEANS NO SEXUAL CONTENT, Twilight fandom went RAGE

[psychochick89]

The "Twilight" series was removed from "schools because they believe the content is too sexual and goes against religious beliefs"

that just makes me laugh. goes against religious beliefs? really, people? the whole series is practically a public service announcement for abstinence until marriage, I don't know how much more religion-appropriate you can get. and too sexual, don't we all wish...

Book banning makes my rage. It is not okay, EVER, to ban a book. How about parents do their jobs instead and read the book with their children and have a conversation about it?
