[quote=Anonymous]I think it's important to distinguish between what may upset YOU and what may upset your kid. Of course, if your kid has any history is trauma, or indicates that they don't want to read it, or there is a real reason to suspect that the book will upset them, seek or encourage the alternative. But it does teens good to read tough stuff because this is often their first encounter with these things, and provides a safe way to empathize and help inform good decisions in the future (how to support people, whether or not to take a risk or commit a crime, career paths). This is a time in life where it's hard to separate parent from child, and the actions are not the same as they were when your kid was 5 or 10 or 12. Most kids can read the book, not saying all, but most. [/quote]
