Young teens are being limited to reading books with controversial issues. Many parents and other individuals are trying their hardest to ban books with issues that may seem offensive and highly inappropriate such as books that involve alcohol/tobacco use, gruesome violence, offensive language, rape, and drug use. Most kids understand these issues as they're growing up will understand these issues however. Parents might feel as if kids do not understand these issues however and are trying they're hardest to ban these books. One book that many adults find offensive is the series 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins due to it's violence and it's offensive language.

  Adults who said that 'The Hunger Games may seem insolent and might inspire kids to actually fight to the death (sounds ridiculous I know). Although the book may have violence, you must understand the story to know the reason they are fighting to the death. Even if the book was banned, many people would want to start reading this book to actually see if it is offensive and deserves to be banned. The Hunger Games shouldn't even be banned because it doesn't really offend anyone out there. Many books deal with sexuality, drugs, murder, but The Hunger Games don't really target anything like that.

 Another reason The Hunger Games should not be banned is because it is a work of fiction. (Now this reason may seem ridiculous) It is not meant to be taken as if it actually happened. If a book that was non fiction had controversial issues such as alcohol use or offensive language, should that book be banned. Most people would say no because it's teaching you something. Books that also have issues that may seem insolent can also teach you moral/life lessons which help you throughout growing up.

  In conclusion the Hunger Games should not be banned because it is a great book and in a few years, will be seen as a classic book. It teaches you life lessons and is a work of great fiction. If the book is ever banned it will become even more popular due to people's curiosity and seeing if the book is actually offensive.
