To let dd15 simply read all summer

[OhLaDiDaDiDa]

Aibu to be okay with dd15’s plan to spend her entire summer reading?

She has GCSEs next year, and I strongly suspect she won’t follow up her plan of studying a few hours very day this summer.

She gets good grades and is a nice girl.

She updated her TBR (“to be read”) list of 100 books and that’s her plan! Some of them are non fiction and the fiction is a lot of “good quality” stuff (not junky AI romantasies!)

Agree, all generations have had mental health problems. I agree it's better to read than be online every day though.

You don't know how old is am.
None of my friends, family, or school friends had mental health issues.
We read books like wuthering heights without having to have a trigger warning. We weren't offended by the slightest thing. We were not snowflakes.
We also did not watch porn or violence online.
Can't you see the connection there?

It doesn't matter how old you are, mental health issues didn't launch with the first iPhone.

Nor did teens having access to pornographic or violent content. Especially in literature.

I'm also not sure you know what a trigger warning actually is.

You obviously need to read a bit more. Then you could read government reports about the connection between kids being exposed to porn and violence and the effect that it has on their emotions and mental health.

You would know that university students are struggling to read the classics because they claim that they are too triggering. You could read articles about how students are unable to access texts because of their lack of reading ability and other reasons. I've never met anyone who was not able to read Wuthering Heights. Most of my contemporaries loved it. I highly recommend it to OP daughter, who has probably already read it and probably didn't have a nervous breakdown doing so.
