I absolutely agree. As Wayne Dyer once quoted,There is one grand lie; that we are limited. The only limits you have are the limits we believe. Plus, children are exposed to a lot more things than what we'll ever know.MeganDJ wrote: ↑19 Sep 2020, 00:44 I think the worst things that we as an adult can do is limit a teenagers perspective. It is through these years that they truly start to learn about life in all its aspects, and I believe it is better to be prepared and exposed to such situations than to not be. I think teenagers would benefit greatly from reading this novel.

Also, hiding them from these public is something that I believe, most of the times, works just the other way around. What I mean is that they will face different situations in real life and they have to be prepared. Explaining and trying to make others understand is always better than hiding.
Realise that about a hundred years ago, and even today in some parts of the world, 'teenagers' were and are as mature and responsible , as adults and do handle what one might term 'mature' issues.
It all depends on how you treat your teenagers. If you treat them like adults then they will behave maturely- like adults should- and if not, then the opposite is true.
Better to expose them to these issues so there can be frank discussions within the home, and questions they might have can be answered, rather than them having to go to their equally clueless friends for advice when later on they have to handle issues for which they haven't been prepared.
