Goosebumps is a series of books written by R.L Stine. These series of books are included in the Top 100 Banned Books. A lot of parents felt these books were too scarry and too violent to be read by kids. They felt it would encourage and persuade children into taking an interest in reading even more frightening and dramatic books. 1997 in Minneapolis Minnesota a parent took action to having the books banned in schools because she felt it was too scarry for children. In 2011 Texas even went to the extremes of banning R.L Stine's books throughout all of the school districts within the state.

Although a lot of parents wanted to take action in banning the Goosebumps series some parents had different thoughts on the matter. At Johnsonville Elementary School in Blaine the Goosebumps series was also a topic of argument on whether to ban the books. But the principal had a different outlook rather than the common reaction of parents to just take action and decide if the books are safe for their kids. The principal brought the idea that if a child feels the book is not safe and positive for them then they won't read the books. And if the child feels they can handle the content within the books, then they might find enjoyment in reading them. Although some people shared the ideas of the principal compared to the adults who felt the books should just be banned and out of reach for kids, they all shared the common point of just wanting what was best.

From what I have gathered it seems as though there were definitely some people who were not as genuine as others. One woman who stated that the books were too scarry for kids admitted herself that her own son has not even read the books. So, it is clear that her viewpoint is coming from being personally offended instead of just out of concern for her child and potentially others. But people who shared the common opinion as the principal did in Minnesota, I would think they were coming from a genuine place. They wanted the kids to have the option of choosing what they thought was best for themselves.

I think that both sides to the controversy of whether Goosebumps is too scary or not has some right to it. When I was younger, I felt the book series was scarry and would avoid reading them. So, I can see why adults had that viewpoint of the books having too much graphic and frightening content. But I also agree that maybe the books should not have been banned because kids have a mind of their own. The content in the books were not too severe and definitely could have stayed in schools. If a student felt that the book was too scarry for them then they could just choose to not read the book. That seems like a better option than just banning all the books in the schools and taking the option of reading them away from students who might enjoy the series.

Thirteen Reasons Why is a very deep, sensitive, and controversial book. When the book first came out it did not receive much backlash and even won an award. However, more recently Netflix released a series based on this book in 2017 which started the whole disliking to it all over again. Not too long after the series was released multiple school districts around the country took action to banning the book within their schools. Since the book contained suicide, the curriculum director of Mesa Country School District in Colorado decided to remove the book after a series of suicides. However, later on the book was added back to the curriculum after being reviewed and coming to the conclusion that Netflix made the book seem way more graphic than it actually was. The book was also banned from schools for other reasons such as maturity level and explicit content. One Elementary school in Florida removed the book because they felt the students were not at the age to mentally handle the sexual, drug, and suicide content.

It seems that all of the communities shared similar reasons for why they wanted the book banned and also how they took action to removing it. Many of the communities sought to ban the book in their school district. The adults were mainly worried that the book created an imagine that somewhat glorified poor mental health. This heavily worried parents and school districts. However, some of the adults felt the book was okay and not as graphic as the show was. And that the book could possibly allow more people (mainly teens) to feel more open about their struggles with mental health. While other parents felt the book was completely inappropriate and a bad influence on children. They saw the book as a way that could lead to the downfall of mental health with many people.

The main reasons why this book has/had so much hate is because of the Netflix series that was created around the book and due to high suicide rates in their area. I believe many of the adults and parents genuinely wanted what was best for their kids and students and they really worried about what effect this book would have on them. Everyone of course was well aware of the freedom of speech but when majority of people come together as a whole to ban a book for example, more and likely that book will be banned. And it seemed as if a lot of the schools took action first instead of the parents making complaints and demands.

From what I have seen of the controversies I think both sides are right. Parents have the right to be worried about what their kids read. And them taking action along with the schools was perfectly right with the idea of keeping everyone safe and away from any bad ideas or harmful effects the book might give off. I do believe that this book is definitely not something I would think someone under the age of 11 should be reading. However, I also agree with the people who suggest that the book can be helpful in a way. This book could possibly encourage people to speak up about their own problems and seek help. And if this book does have that type of effect on a person and influence them to take the first steps to becoming healthier and getting help, then that's definitely a good thing.
