But this book is largely harmless. There are no gratuitous sex scenes in it. If you think any 10th grader hasn't heard about masturbation or that learning about the harm of alcoholism or sexual abuse is too much for a 16 year old, something is wrong.
I remember being about 14 nd having to read a book aloud - each of us reading an assigned part - in English class and part of the discussion from the book was a group of boys talking about how they watched a girl across the road strip naked for a shower and how much they masturbated while they watched.
Didn't do the class any harm. The boys who were pervs were still pervs, while the ones who were reserved and shy were still reserved and shy.
