What have books come to???

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! I hope that everyone has a great Independence day!

Recently I have been searching for a good book for me, a 14 year old girl. I have been noticing that there are very few good books for teens that have no inappropriate content, cursing, or very little violence. So what has our culture come to? We let our children read books that teach them to use curse words and violence to solve problems. We live in a culture where people seem appalled that I have not read the Harry Potter series. Not to read it was my choice. I chose to not read a book series that I do not agree with. Why can't people understand that and get over it? One of my teachers even taught to Harry Potter and said in class "I don't know anyone who hasn't read this book because you would be stupid not to." WHAT??? There are people in the world who don't like magic or sorcery. It seems as if all books that come out now are full of scenes that are inappropriate for even teens, so why do the parents let them read these things? My mother has stopped reading the books that come out for adults because they are too violent and inappropriate.

I have put together a list. This list has my favorite books and authors for teens. These books has very little violence and no inappropriate content. So here it goes!
