I have been thinking a lot about our class discussions, and while I might not compare listening to heavy metal music, or watching a violent movie to the solitary action of reading a book, I have come to think that life for teenagers can be REALLY rough. Let's face it for most of us high school is a complete nightmare. So maybe not every dark book needs to be a "cautionary" tale, but if it is dark and brooding let it be well written and thought provoking.
I guess what I am saying is teenagers have it rough enough already. So crank up the tunes, turn on your X-Box kick , up your feet and read whatever the hell you want!

You're definitely right on with this post--the lives of teens today are not easy. Still, some teens have it easier than others. The main thing is not to assume anything--the teen who could appear to have the easiest life on the outside may not be the same on the inside. And vice versa.
