    People get so upset about high schoolers reading stories that contain realistic high schoolers.

    Nothing happens in that book that these kids haven’t seen

      Absolutely. That is one of the points that always drives me nuts. Like these parents don’t know their own children. They don’t want to know or see them in a realistic sense.

      Most kids have seen porn by the age of 12, that doesn’t mean we just say screw it, here’s a full length film, go wild.

      I never got a bunch of my friends together to jerk each other off into a cup in order to drink it.

      This is a graphic novel too. What’s the call on drawings of naked boys masturbating?

        It’s neither depicted nor presented, it’s something that happens off-camera and is only mentioned/described. And the hs baseball team my junior year got in trouble for doing essentially the same thing as a hazing ritual.
