Hi Teens . . . Vacatiyn Time is here, but it seems Durham
teens are working, going to sumiper school and waiting till
later in the summer io vacation.
TEENAGE LITERATURE '
Teens today read surprisingly more than any other genera
tion. This is due to many factors. Even though this is not
enough to satisfy the parents of the teenagers. The parents
want teens to read “good” literature, but who knows what
“good” literature is until they have read all kinds and com
pared them.
Frankly, I see nothing wrong with comic books, which seem
to be very popular with the younger teens. MAD magazine
if the favorite of 96% of Durham High School seniors and
was choscn the most popular comic magazine. In the same
poll 84% liked I'lMK as the best newsweekly. Fiction books
rank first and biogra))hies, second at that school.
The difference in environment sometimes influences the
reader. One great example is myself. I like Cri.sis Magazine
^tter than any other book. .Any fiction, non-fiction, bio
graphies, or any t)pe of book which deals with civil rights is
right down my line.
Many of my friends enjoy reading books which have been
■banned from local newsstands. Others wouldn’t think of read
ing anything other than the Bible.
. The best bet is to read all kinds of literature, magazines,
i^ovels, etc. Then, you will be able to distinguish yourself be
tween “Good” and “Bad” literature.
