[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 591184, member: 16184"] Hmm of two minds about your post. I'm a big reader. I didn't read Harry Potter so I can't comment on that but I'm sure you are familiar with the size of those books I only ever saw one child actually read those books. And she was close to 12. I saw teenagers read them and adults but not kids. Of course I saw kids at the movie theater. I don't think sex or four letter words are much mystery to even the earliest teenage. Even if they don't have direct experience there is probably someone in their peer group that does. Cable is often much worse them what you will find in a book. If you stay up past 10pm channels like Comedy Central and cartoon network get very graphic with their language. As a reader and as someone who began devouring adult books at 10 or 11. One of the reasons I read so much is because no one fussed at me about what I was reading within limits. I'm sure someone would of said something if I was reading mein kampf or the joy of sex. I was extremely sheltered and pretty much was dragged into church four days a week and was only allowed to watch Disney or the family channel. My books weren't censored and I gained a better grasp on what real life was about. I understand that it hurts many parents hearts to get that their child is growing up but I'd rather them find sex in a book then the tv screen and I'd rather them hear curse words while wading through a 500 page book than hearing it on cheap reality tv. Just my two cent [/QUOTE]
