[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am personally VERY affected by depressing literature. I think they pick these books in part because they think the teens will like them—especially all the apocolyptic stuff. But I do worry about how they affect kids who are already prone to depression. I have been trying to find less depressing stuff for my kid as a counter-balance. Suggestions are welcome! So far we have tried jane Austen, [b]Shakespeare[/b], and Agatha Christie. [/quote] Less depressing stuff, like King Lear?[/quote] I was thinking more Romeo and Juliet.[/quote] oh yes, two teens commit suicide. so cheery[/quote]
