Book Banning Junior high and high school are, for many, the best years of an adolescent’s life. During these impressionable years children transform into young adults. Teens begin to form personal ideas and beliefs about the world around them based on experiences gained through the social and academic arena. Students are immersed in friendships, first loves, and extracurricular activities, as well as a growing and learning experience. As students travel the road of their educational careers, teachers begin to demand more work and no longer “spoon feed” information to students; rather, pupils are expected to work through ideas with only guidance from instructors. As they advance in years of schooling, students are gradually given more freedom and responsibility in regards to the path their education will take. Along with the freedom that is gained, students are expected to be more active in their education by broadening their thoughts and ideas. Each year students are exposed to more critical ideas through a broad array of literature that pushes their current boundaries of knowledge. This new knowledge is often information that parents consider inappropriate for their developing young adults to be exposed to.
