A Revelation

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I think I’ve finally put my finger on just what, exactly, feels so wrong about my having joined a liberry teen-focus group: lack of understanding of the basic goal of getting teenagers to read.

All I’m saying is, I was the teenager who inspired whole panels of teachers, counselors, and parents to convene in order to figure out how to get me to stop reading.

I may be out of my depth here.

When I was a child my mom would often take my books away as punishment...but that was sometimes ok....I had secret stashes of books all over my room....even a 'secret stash that was meant to be found', so when mom said, "AND the ones you have hidden somewhere, I KNOW you have some hidden, hand them over." I could go to the bed and remove a few from under the mattress, so she would think she 'got them all'....HA!
