PARENTS, SEX ISNT ANYTHING A TEN OR ELEVEN YR OLD DOESNT KNOW ABOUT.AND AT 13, IM NOT A VIRGIN. BOOKS LIKE THESE ARE A HUGE INFLUENCE ON KIDS AND TEENS. THEY REALLY HELP TELL THEM THAT SEX ISNT BAD, BUT IT ISNT SAFE AND IT HAS CONSEQUENCES. GREAT BOOK!

Hmm it was wonderful, i read it 2ce in one day!!! Anyway... This book is really not 4 kids. To much smoke and drug use. But thats really the only issue. People have sex( And watch porn), but reading about it in a book is not the best way to find out about what it is and how to do it. Carrie and the other teens rebel alot, which could influence younger kids. But otherwise i feel in love with this book. And i think if younger kids read about Homosexuality, they might experement with that. Which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

This book is a very fun read. It is fine for teenagers who are probably already experiencing the same things that Carrie does in high school at a younger age than her. Parents should keep younger readers away from this book, but older kids should be fine, even with all the drinking and smoking. And it's a really good book.
