Oh by the way i hated Lord of the Lfies, but John Green is awesome, i think schools are better at this whole required reading thing, we get to read Blood and Chocolate and Romeo and Juliet!
I need more of your books! Fathomless is so close only 11 months away, I'm going to go create a countdown clock....
Bye!

There was a cuss word in As You Wish? I didn't even notice it. But I do agree with you on this matter. Parents are sheltering their children, although where I live it seems like parents don't pay enough attention to their children and let them run a muck. But you using one cuss word in the entire book should not get the book "banned" from a teens reading list.

I honestly don't understand this. As a teen, I know that in 6th grade just about everyone suddenly learned a vocab of swears. One bad word should not ruin an entire book.

-claps- thank you Jackson. This is pretty much exactly my opinion on swearing. I don't promote it, and I don't swear myself (And I'm 18!) but I do think you can't just ignore bad language.

My little sister (in middle school) once brought home a book from the library that had a VERY detailed blowjob scene. WTF school system?!

Nobody gives a f*$king s*#t I say it every day at school and everywhere else
When im going from class to class that's the only thing you hear theres nothing wrong with it just that people think to much of it

I grew up reading books with swear words (without my parents knowledge) and I still have never swore inappropriately...
-
In my 10th grade English class, my teacher taught us a unit on cuss words, and the history of them.
-
LOL I don't usually swear but I hear the f word every single day. Who cares if it was mentioned ONCE in the book???
You only used ONE? Well, shit. My book's fucked. ;)

you, jackson, are F#@$ING awesome!
And I wholeheartedly agree with you on the matter. Parents do love to shelter their teen from stuff said teens have likely been saying or doing for longer than they would care to know.
