I've just read the book Romeo and Juliet in class and today during class my english teacher talkin about the book in the negative way. She said that it was also a bad influence because it had-
- violence
- suicidal
- encourage family fights
- sexism
- rebellious
- stereotypes
and that it was a negative influence on modern youth. what do you guys think? i have a feeling i might be needed to write an essay about this too. so people opinions?
Yeah. Kids like you should be reading the Mr Men books for some wholesome learning.
Seriously, what does she expect. This is the world we live in. Maybe you should learn about how the world hasn't changed and why. Essentially the book is about love and family (feuds, albeit). There's no way you can shelter teenagers forever, and as soon as their hormones take over, violence and sex rampage.
