In my opinion, the swearing and teen pregnancy are not reasons to prevent 6th graders from reading this; in all likelihood, they already know all the curses in this book and understand that teen pregnancy happens. So I guess it depends on whether you consider sexual assault an off-limits topic for 6th graders. (less)
