I was just going to alert you to this.
People don't realize (or maybe some do...?) how influencable kids are to what they read/see/hear.
Reading and seeing raunchy crap will stay with them a long time. There is no doubt about it. Not saying every kid will turn into a werewolf. But the mind absorbs everything you put into it, to one degree or another. And highly emotional content, especially sexual and violent, stores better.
There is plenty of good literature that isn't offensive that high school kids could read with benefit.
