We should encourage young adults to read about everything, drugs and sex included!

Book banns on these topics are like training a soccer team and not tell them they could get hurt. If they know, they can make an informed choice and avoid it. If they don’t… that’s how you get teen pregnancies and drug abuse. Kids that don’t know about it find it cool and go after it.
