"I know all about
sex." "Congratulations!" "Were you fucking?"
"Jamie!" "That's not a bad word ... hate and war is bad words
but fuck isn't." "I never said it was." "So were you?"
"No ... I wasn't ... but even if I was I wouldn't tell you."
"Why not?" "Because it's none of your damn business ... that's
why." "Oh wow ... " she said, clucking her tongue, "your
generation is so hung up about sex."
This passage could be considered
controversial because this is a young girl talking about “fucking” as if it’s
no big deal. She says it as if it’s normal for a little girl to be saying a
word like that but also talking about it as if she knows everything about it,
the language of this young girl is not something that’s normal or ok for a
young girl. Parents today don’t want their children and young adults having this
type of attitude towards such a sensitive subject.
