I watched most of the interview, but literally missed a few minutes and some popular teenage books they were talking about. They were saying how dangerous they were, and how casually they talked about sex. I missed what the name of these books are, or even if they specifically mentioned them by name? Did someone watch this?

Thanks.

I didn't see it, but I'd vote for "The Gossip Girls" series to be on that list.

I saw it. It was Gossip Girls they were taling about. My DD use to read those. I had no idea. I just figured they were teen girl books, no big deal, right? WRONG. I had just offered to buy my DD the next book in the series a couple of weeks ago and she told me she didnt want to read them anymore, that they were "stupid". SO instead she wanted the Davinci Code.

Ditto! My dd14 has been into these books, and I have previously thought, no harm done, right? Wrong! I quickly suspected they were talking about these books, and went into her room and found the one she has and began reading...I feel so idiotic that I've been letting my dd read these books. These days it just feels like the whole world is against any kind of values any more...and I get so tired of fighting. It's just everywhere...

I feel like writing a letter to the author now....
