Teen Fiction: sex, drugs and more sex

A rather inflammatory article on the fact that teen fiction has "racy subject matter." The article pulls out Anne of Green Gables and Nancy Drew as examples of older teen fiction, which I completely disagree with. Those are children's books not teen novels. When I was a teen, Judy Blume's Forever was the one being passed around the school. Racy? You betcha! Must have scarred me for life too, since I think that teen novels need a little danger, angst and racy subject matter.
