Decribe The Ban


 The book "Forever" by 'Judy Blume"  was not banned, it was challenged because of its descriptions of sex as a teen, drug use, and many other subjects that accrue in this book. Some readers also believe the book to be encouraging to young readers to have sex.
There are many subjects in the book "Forever" that many readers find offensive. Subjects such as Katherine (one of the main characters) talking about her boyfriend’s penis. The book also describes there sexual acts such as sex. The subjects of suicide is brought up when there friend Artie kills himself.  Language is a big part that is found offensive because it has very much usage in the book. Other subjects that some readers found offensive were pregnancies, drinking, and the use of drugs such as marijuana.
