Essay On The Miseducation Of Cameron Post

“The Miseducation Of Cameron Post” has caused a school district to ban the book due to its major profanity. Though many think freshman students should not read it, many think otherwise. Parents have complained that it’s too “gay” and uses too much words that a freshman shouldn’t know, but they don’t realize that they might have already learned many other “bad” things in today’s world. Maybe some parents should worry about who their children’s friends are, the movies they’re watching, or how easily they can get their hands on that book. In my opinion, I think it's the students choice to read what they want. High school is a time when kids find out who they are and start growing more independently.
This is a time where people tell you to grow up, but limit it. People tell you to grow up, but once they see you with a such bad book, they suddenly become a saint and cover your eyes. If you want people to be more mature, do not pick certain cherries out of the batch. People do mature other time. The more they read books like The Miseducation Of Cameron Post, the more mature they become. The more parents, librarians, etc., pick out your books, the more you grow up not knowing a lot.

Moving on, the book might actually help students and it's better to get self-help than to get help from other people.

High school is time where you find out who you are. Self-help is much better than talking to your parent about. Many might think it's “embarrassing” and hide in the corner, but the more they read books like this, the more mature they are. A lot of books have been banned from the school library that could help students and make their maturity levels rise. Nobody likes a classroom filled with giggles and red, blushing faces during a very “explicit” scene comes on an educational movie or clip. Teachers absolutely hate it and so do many other

students.
Thinking in another perspective, Parents would think that their children would suddenly spit out every curse word they see. They think that their children are innocent and should not read certain books. They will learn to be like the people in books and movies and become a rebel. If they limit their freedom and become more strict, the more responsible and bright kid they will be. The school board thinks just the same way. There is too much sexual content in this book for such a young person.
What they, the parents and school board, think and believe what they will become because of being exposed to this type of stuff, is false. The more parents limit their kids freedom, the more uninterested they get in everything. They will find a way to get their hands on the book you are preventing them from reading. There’s Amazon, Ebay, etc., so many sources on how to get any book. There is no point of trying. They will probably become rebellious if you keep treating them like they are twelve. This is a time when people this young want to be treated as more as a very young adult. Soon they will be exposed to many things once they get older. It is better to let them have a bit of freedom because they will be so clueless about everything once they reach college or shall I say the “real world”.
High school is a time where students figure out who they are and grow more independently. Once they see you goofing off, they scoff at you and tell you to grow up, but what do people expect if freshman are treated like they’re babies? This is the last final stage till we go into the big world where your freedom isn’t limited and we might as well have to prepare for it.
