Ugh, again, my life is ruined

Okay, it's time for a rant.

It never ceases to amaze me how an author can take a great subject, storyline, plot and inspire it with amazing characters, realistic situations and engaging converastion. But then, just to settle some sort of complex they harbor within themselves, they have to make the main characters sex-crazed lunatics (which is perhaps a slight exaggeration). Now, I'm no prude, in my own mind anyway. I don't think there's anything wrong with kissing, or passionate kissing. Then they feel the need to press it further into some disgusting R-rated crap instead of just letting the story speak for itself. Because, God forbid they paint a realistic view of a teenage girl who DOESN'T go out and get laid. That would be too unrealistic. Besides, EVERYONE wants to get laid, don't they? It just makes me sick. I wonder if they realize how many people, because I hope there are quite a few, who put down the book once their characters get out of control. Every time I have to put down a book I'm sad, because I wanted to find out what happened. But I'm more angry, that the author had to do something so retarded and ruin the whole thing for me. So for all you young adult authors out there who just can't bear the thought of any teenagers remaining virgins, thanks a whole flipping lot because I just wasted two hours reading the first hundred pages of your book. Thanks for taking my valuable time and making me think I might respect and enjoy your work only to find out, no, this author is a sex-crazed maniac who just can't get over themselves. Maybe next time you write a book about a fifteen-year-old girl, you should think hmmm, maybe there are some fifteen-year-old girls who don't compromise themselves and hmmm maybe there are some teenagers who are CRAZY enough to not really want to read your wild sex scenes. So kudos to you and your retarded accomplishment. You've just torn down the morals of the next generation a little more and helped assure one more teenager that adults encourage animalistic behavior, and this one is completely disgusted by it.

So tell me, you're the adult and I'm the teenager, but I'm not the one who is controlled entirely by my wild raging hormones, I'm civilized, I know what's really important. I'm a mature human being. What're you?

You've pushed at least one kid on their way down the slippery slope so they can rot in hell forever. I hope you freaking proud of yourself.

And that's the Written Word.

You're 100% right. I used to love reading, and then they started publishing all of this crap. I find book stores to be depressing.

I never know what I'm getting into when I pick up a book; The cover looks great, the description of the story is captivating, and then you get 3/4 of the way through and you have to put the book down.

I'm so sick of this sex crazed attitude that every has taken on. To most, it's just a recreational sport.
