Who should decide which books are suitable for young people?

No, I don’t think parents should have the option to request another book. If the child wants to read the book he/she picked they should. One day were going to come to know what happens in those books so reading it early will be okay. Its not like were going to follow the books footsteps. It's just a book. Parents shouldn't have the right to tell their children what they should read. They can ask their child why he/she wants to read the book so they know, but forcing the child to read a different one is just not necessary.

Think about it like this. If parents want to change what children read, then children should be able to change what parents read. That would make it fair. So if you want to control our books, we could control yours. If we think that cookbook that you are reading has bad recipes, or if that love book is just a little too lovey-dovey, we should have the right to force you not to read it. That’s how ridiculous this sounds. Parents should not be able to make us read a different book. Even if it has a little bit of bad language, maybe we just like it because it’s a good book. If the book has stuff that you think is bad, maybe it’s not and it’s just the kind of book we like to read. Think about us. Try reading the book first, maybe it has a whole other reason to it.
