High School Appropriate - Yes or No

[Nonny Kenneth Ezeanwu]

I think it will be very appropriate to be introduced in a high school classroom as it will expose the teenagers to a lot and teach them so much.

I see no reason why it cannot be read to teenagers. They already know about profanities and mist of them use it in their daily endeavours.

The book is definately high school appropriate. It focues on what teenagers go through in life so it would be best for them to read.

[Terrine Wild]

Seeing that the book covers the lives if high school students, I would say yes. It is suitable for high school children.

I believe this book will help high school students to get familiar with the topic depression. It will helpful for them if they do take this topic in a good way.

As I was reading this book, I thought it would be appropriate to read in a high school classroom. My review was rejected because I didn't list the word "crap" in the PRQ. I also said that it had no sexual content, but evidently, it does. What is your opinion on reading this with a group of teenagers?

That is absolutely wild. I’m with you - certainly didn’t count crap as profanity, and I don’t think there was any sexual content. I thought this book was absolutely age appropriate for high schoolers. There are a lot of kids today who’ve been through similar and much worse, and this book might just let them know that they’re not alone.

It is appropriate. After all, the ones suffering the most from depression and other mental health issues are the teenagers and young adults. An author in a book I recently read states how the world is fast moving and this alone is a cause of confusion. It is good for everyone to learn that they can seek help, not to suffer in silence. As for the instance of profanity, I am certain this is a word that can be encountered in other contexts, but, of course, parents or guardians will have the final vote on its appropriateness.

It's not really bad to read this book with high school students. The book related to many events that happens to teenagers. I think the book will be of great help to them.

I believe it's a fantastic initiative to incorporate this book into high school curriculum as it raises students' awareness of critical subjects such as suicide, family struggles, abuse, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Numerous high school students might be grappling with these issues personally, and facilitating open dialogues about them within the classroom setting can establish a safe environment for them to share their experiences and find help. By tackling these topics in an educational context, we play a role in fostering a society that emphasizes and places importance on the mental well-being of everyone.

I suppose crap would be considered borderline profanity. As for the sexual content, there is mention of sexual abuse so that's probably why it should get marked? Idk exactly how much was there otherwise. Some kissing maybe. Definitely appropriate for teenagers.

Well I believe that this book would help teenagers express themselves better. It is indeed a beautiful book.

[Sameeha Ismail]

Teenagers are already neck deep in angst and it's easy to trip into the wrong road while they are trying to figure out their path. So, I think it is better to feed teenagers with awareness books.

I think the author did an excellent job of dealing with real-life issues such as drug dealing, abuse, suicide, the illness or death of a parent, mental health, and cyberbullying. Our young people face these topics every day or someone close to them is affected by one or more of them.

It is important to have a safe space where they can discuss their challenges and fears without judgment. Anxiety and stress build when there is no outlet for your emotions. Ignoring problems will not make them go away. I have a fifth-grader who brought up that their sister's best friend committed suicide in the middle of our literature class. Granted it was a small group lesson, but I was glad that he felt safe to share and we were able to empathize and offer comfort.

[Oluwa Tomisin]

I think it is high school appropriate, seeing that majority has to do with high school students, they are the audience for it and also adults interested in knowing what goes on with high schoolers.
