Anyone else read adult books in like middle school? And instead of adults freaking out, they encouraged it? I read horror "early" & everyone from teachers to neighbors were thrilled to recommend more, plenty with sexual content, worried more if the gore/terror would be too much.
@thoughtpunks By the time I was 12 or so I had exhausted the books I was interested in reading in the children's section of the local library and was checking out books from the adult science fiction/fantasy section. I saw Alien when I was 8. We found a box full of Playboys that someone was throwing out when I was 10 or 11. We used to try to watch scrambled porn on SelectTV. This pearl clutching about books in schools has nothing to do with protecting kids and the right wingers know it.
