Mm. F. M. The other day
I was cleaning out my son's
room and came upon such a
mess of filthy Literature and
pictures that it literally
made my hair stand on end.
Jim is 15 and has always
been a very serious and well-
behaved boy, so I never sus
pected he was up to anything
like this when he spent hours
in his room reading. I used
to be proud of Jim s advanced
reading, but now I realize
that even in good quality
books his taste runs to stories
with heavy emphasis on sex.
I threw out all the really
obscene stuff and took away
the other books. I told Jim
that from now on I think his
father and I should do a little
censoring of his reading. His
reaction was violent and he
used abusive language to his
father and me.
Jim M How silly can you
get? Don't my parents reailze
that I can do all my reading
in the library, at school and
other places where I won't
have them sticking their noses
into my business?
The stuff my mother threw
out didn't belong to me and
I wasn't even so interested in
it because I've seen plenty of
that kind of junk before. One
of the guys made me take it
in exchange for a book I lent
him.
My parents don't recognize
present-day realities. Eve ry
thing shocks them. I am in
terested in real life and I
want to read books that real
ly say things. A lot of the
books I've read are taught
in college classes.'! resent my
mother s poking around in
my private things and I won't
give up my right to read
what I like.
The Counrilt There are
ways of controlling distribu
tion of obscene material in
any community, but that
problem and the larger one
of censorship cn a broad level
is outside the scope of this
column. We will limit our
discussion to the family level,
accepting two facts: that near
ly every kind of literature is
available to Jim and that he
evidently does not accept the
authority of his parents or
anyone else in this matter.
Spying, prying and setting
rules that can't be enforced
won't work. By engaging in
this kind of activity the F.M.'s
destroy their strongest weapon
Jim s respect for them.
When he loses this he loses
respect for all the values ihey
have tried to give him.
Many teen - age boys and
girls gravitate toward books
that deal with sex out of
simple curiosity. The F.M.'s
should try, through their
church and library, to find
acceptable books on the sub
ject. If these books are acces
sible to Jim and if his interest
is satisfied through open dis
cussion with his parents, he
will "be less vulnerable to
undesirable books.
Another factor in an adoles
cent's absorption in ponogra
phy could be that he is hav
ing far too few really en
grossing and pleasurable ex
periences in his daily life.
If he has many friends, many
interests and happy relation
ships with his family, he is
not likely to seek the fantasy
experiences he finds in sex
slanted material. The F.M.'s
should try to enoourage Jim's
outside interests and help him
build up his strong points so
that he finds some real-life
success experience.
Apart from all this, Jim
may have a genuine interest
in literature and much of the
best of contemporary litera
ture deals to some extent with
sexual themes. The F. M.'s
may be able to help Jim"
broaden his interests and re
fine his taste by making good
books available at home, en
couraging discussion of 'them
and guiding him to clubs or
community groups that afford
the opportunity for open dis
cussion of good books.
The F.M.'s should recognize
that they can't protect their
son from every possibility of
a corrupting influence and
should have a little faith that
their teachings, their good ex
ample and his religious train
ing will carry its weight with
Jim.
